Performance

It was obvious the boys were enjoying their time in Australia after skipping the country during JT. This was OUR tour - the following European leg just an afterthought. A decent setlist essentially looking like a JT line-up peppered with R&H tracks. Like most Lovetown shows, I feel it's 2 or 3 tracks short.

Highlights
Bono's revelry: "You are the noisest sons of bitches that ever came to a rock'n'roll concert", "With a red guitar, sometimes vanilla", "This is a song, it suits me to play because it's only got three chords and that's all I know. and referring to Edge "This goes to show that even a man with a haircut as uncool as that can play the coolest red guitar in the universe and play it with style!"

Edge Hendrix during All Along the Watchtower.

Bad snippets (pity song itself was incomplete).

Opening set from Streets to about Desire were done well.

The BB King band during Angel of Harlem and Love Comes to Town.

Lowlights

Love Rescue Me does absolutely nothing for me.
Incomplete Bad


Sound

Ok somebody's going to have to explain to me the raitings system here. This was a recording riddled with muffled fuzz all the way through it. Parts of it sounded like Bono was gargling water - while there was a decent balance allowing for all three instruments to be heard equally, the low-quality affected vocals the most. I realise Bono had a sore throat this peformance but this recording was a real let down. It was a constant distraction which hindered my enjoyment of the whole show. It was almost unlistenable in parts. Opening of Bad was also cut out.
Recording: "Love Comes To Adelaide" - 3.5 stars

Overall

This boot would have been enjoyable if not for the sound. It was very hard not to let it affect the listening experience. It was just really appalling. Certainly doesn't warrant rating its been given here
