Performance

Absolutely excellent performance by the boys. Alot of Joshua Tree material gets played brilliantly in this show - such as 'Trip Through Your Wires', 'In God's Country' and 'Mothers of the Disappeared'. This is possibly one of the best Joshua Tree Tour performances, maybe even THE best out of them all.

Sound

Excellent.
Recording: "transfer from master tapes" - 5 stars

Audience

Top notch, nuff said.

Overall

A bootleg I suggest you download, listen, relax and enjoy. You will definately give this all 5-stars in the end. Great listen.

Highlights
