Performance

Personally, I think this has got to be one of the great ZooTV shows. The band went out to wow an expecting Parisian crowd on the opening night of the European leg of one of the greatest tours in rock'n'roll history ever embarked on, and didn't they just? I would go on about how amazing everything is, but I'd be writing until tomorrow. Every song is performed to something bordering perfection, to the point that I can't point to a single major flaw. Some of my own personal highlights:

- Edge's playing. In my opinion, one of the best performances he's EVER done - he's simply on fire. On that note;
-> BTBS - perhaps one of his best ever solos. He simply tears into one of the greatest bits of guitar playing I've ever heard. The show is worth downloading for this alone.
- Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses - a ZooTV performance with a solo? Too flippin' right. As the world's biggest advocate of this song in any form (not to mention that it's criminally underplayed), to find a ZooTV rendition WITH a solo has allowed me to die happy!
- With Or Without You - my favourite performance. Ever. The only thing that could have POSSIBLY made this any better would have been an inclusion of Shine Like Stars. Other than that, I'm blown away every time I hear this. Bono getting completely lost in the music, a terrific piece of improvisation by him on guitar (even if he does seem to forget that notes need to be played in tune), Love Will Tear Us Apart snippetted in spectacular fashion - I could go on.

The only thing that I would say is a shame about this show is the lack of Ultra Violet in the encore. To think that the band were on fire, and yet didn't play one of the greatest songs ever written...such as it is, I reckon it's good enough to make do with!


Sound

It does seem to fluctuate slightly, but not throughout the show nor to the extent that it hampers the boot where audible enjoyment is concerned. Bar that, I would have thrown a 5-star rating this way forward.
Recording: Audience microphone - 4 stars

Audience

Awesome. Astonishing. They seemed to love every second of the band's performance, and rightly so. Definitely one of the best audiences I've ever had the honour of listening to on a bootleg - just listen to them during WGRYWH or WOWY to see what I mean.

Overall

I don't know whether there's much else to add. Near brilliant sound, terrific energy from both the band and performance, one of Edge's best ever shows, a simply breathtaking experience. For me, it's a must-have show, both as part of the ZooTV phenomenon and as a spectacular example of U2 at their very best.
