review by Claude

Performance

An entertaining, good-spirited finale to the spring Joshua Tree tour. Journalists from around the world were in the parking lot, interviewing fans, and the band's family was in the crowd. The performance was energetic and fun, but there was also a sense of relief -- they'd conquered America. The performance of "Springhill Mining Disaster" was riveting, although there was some disappointment and confusion that "Red Hill Mining Town" didn't appear in the set.

Sound

Not bad. This was the era before digital recorders.
Recording: "Unknown Analogue Generation" - 3 stars

Audience

The crowd was excited to be here. There was a celebratory feeling to the show.

Overall

I can't recall every seeing so many smiles on the band's faces at any of the 15 shows I've seen them give. Not their best technical performance, but certainly one of their most upbeat. Very much worth hearing. I am very glad to have been present at this show.
