Performance notes: This show features one of only two live appearances of any kind for Heartland, as Bono snippets a few lines over the intro of Where The Streets Have No Name. It reappeared as a snippet at the start of Streets three days later. In Bullet The Blue Sky, Bono sings "Outside it's America/Actually, it's a carpark".

Performance

I always remember the date of this performance - Friday the 13th!
The bands performance was great - this was the first time Aussie fans had a chance to hear any of the songs of the Joshua tree album in concert - as well as the studio recorded songs off of the Rattle and Hum album. So it was all VERY exciting.


Sound

The sound is only average unfortunately - but for me still very enjoyable because of the great memories I have of this show.
Recording: Audience microphone - 3.5 stars

Audience

I remember the audience being great at this concert. Everybody was even singing along to the Beatles tracks playing over the pa before the concert!
Basically just a typical U2 crowd - U2 have always said their concert crowds have always been special - this one was no different.
I remember the crowd still singing 40 as they were walking down the street after the show. Great stuff!


Overall

Too many to mention! BB King was also great too!
Only disappointment is the concert didn't open with Streets (this song was made to open their concerts - watch Rattle and Hum!).
