Performance

A rough but excitable performance very early on in the War Tour as the lads were probably still fine-tuning their new material live. Gloria is such a versatile track that is really at home anywhere in the set and that includes show opener, it's a really great one. The setlist in fact is not your usual War fare with New Year's Day making an earlyish appearance, Surrender way down the order, A Celebration making a rare appearance and the show seemed to flow pretty good.

This was also really a no-nonsense gig with Bono shying away from chatter and just rolling with tracks one after the other. I felt Sunday Bloody Sunday was a little clumsy, maybe they were still getting to know the song but there were plenty of high points to make up for it such as Electric Co. as usual, a nice celtic sounding Tomorrow, two of my early faves A Day Without Me and I Fall Down.


Sound

A good one. A few dips in volume but pretty clear.
Recording: "Beaton - D6 Master" - 4 stars

Audience

Edinburgh. Have they ever been a bad crowd I ask?

Overall

A good early War bootleg, but go down to later gigs for more polished performances.
