Performance

One of the four Point Depot 1989 shows, the 27th excels in every way possible. The band are on fire, blowing the roof off the Point Depot, all vocals and instrumentals are perfect and every song has possibly the very best that U2 have ever performed them. It's great fun to experience this show and even better than the other shows hundreds of times over.

BB King is very welcome here for When Love Comes To Town and the big man with the big voice makes it extra special. "You've gotta help somebody!", he yells and the audience go right off. Pride also has a great moment: "Sing this for...sing this for yourselves!" - get a crack of that.

Edge's guitar rings right through the Point, Larry's drumming is at its peak and Adam's bass during songs such as Two Hearts Beat As One is something to behold (and witness), if you've ever seen U2 on tour.

Unusually, Love Rescue Me was actually the best version of the song ever performed, even though in all dead honesty I cannot stand it. Two Hearts Beat As One gets a special mention for having the most mentions by Bono of "shit" and the killer Billie Jean snippet at the end.

This show would have to be my favourite one of all time (not from Lovetown but from every other tour), and it's hard to find any others that top this - it's a good reason why I've kept it for all this time.

Sound

The sound for 20-year-old tapes is amazing, even by today's standards. Sure, you get a little bit of tape dropout at the beginning of some songs, but that's to be expected and doesn't lift even half a star off my rating. The bass could be stronger but what can you do.

As mentioned, an awesome upgrade of this was recently added and tops the quality yet again - it is coming from a soundboard, so it should have excellent quality which it does. Which also reminds me, could Remy add a six-star rating?
Recording: "December X X V I I" - 5 stars

Audience

The Dublin audience are on fire like the band. They rip right into every single song, singing along with all the songs, giving U2 and you a great night, and make the show a great listen.

Overall

Standouts here include all the songs including All Along The Watchtower, Love Rescue Me, beautiful renditions of ''40'', The Unforgettable Fire, Bad / All I Want Is You and a haunting version, not heard since the 2002 Superbowl, of MLK which literally sent shivers up my spine.

No low-lights here at all. If this was U2's last ever performance, it is a mind-blowing and beautiful show. Six stars, without a second thought. I love it.
