Performance

U2 on St. Patrick's Day in NY... can you ask for a better match? Wonderful performance and Bono was in a good mood, interacting with the audience and telling stories.

Sound

Very good sound for an October bootleg. The soundboard is rusty and it has skips in I Threw A Brick and other songs. Edge's guitar is buried in the mix and Adam's bass is up front, which makes it very interesting to listen to it.
Recording: "complete soundboard" - 4 stars

Audience

Could barely hear them in this soundboard, but I bet they were great.

Overall

This and Lido Beach are perhaps the best October bootlegs you'll find. The setlist is great and some songs had slightly different lyrics, like The Cry part in Electric Co. According to Bono, they were almost arrested that day for trying to get into the St. Patrick's parade!
Highlights: Another Time, Another Place, An Cat Dubh/Into The Heart, Rejoice, Tomorrow (not the best version ever, I prefer the early War versions. Bono lied to the crowd saying it was the first performance ever. Naughty Bono!), Out Of Control and 11 O'Clock (Bono talks about Irish stereotypes and does a great snippet of Give Peace A Chance).
