    Performance:

    First BRT review Well I know im gonna get flack for this, but performance was never amazing for me on the pop shows excluding Sarajevo and Mexico. But this, I will have to say was a great performance. They came right out with Mofo and the fun never stopped. Im a picky guy instrumentally, so I will have to say, I hated Larry's snare on this. It sounds not as good as recent years. Adam sounded great no problems there. Edge finally had everything fixed by this time so I cant complain there, and it was early enough into the tour that Bono's voice wasnt messed up yet. Overall good performance, 4 stars from sam!

    4/5

    Audience:

    Another great audience. Maybe the best ive heard in awhile.

    5/5

    Overall


    Highlights

    I must say, the best part of the whole show was Rain. I know, I know streets is usually it for me, but it was somewhat week on this tour. It was unbelievable. It had a real Angel of Harlem feel and its good to have songs like that in the set. I LOVED this. Awesome.

    MLK was HAUNTING in the key of B. Just beautiful.

    ISHFWILF sounded great!

    Lowlights

    -Staring at the sun...always skip it. Liked it better on elevation.

    -Edge screwing up one. A VERY avoidable mistake.

    -I HATE EDGE'S KARAOKE. I cant believe that he EVER did this. so stupid...

    4/5






    Nice first up effort there Sam! Welcome aboard!


  2. Oohh, that is harsh! Not a shred of brilliance to it as I stated but 2.5?! Oh dear!

    Do you really think that this is a problem? Wouldn't this be a plus?

    Me too, great intro.

    Random thought: How many times have we heard Bono ask Bruce and Willie to turn the lights off during New Years Day? You'd think they'd just do it at every show....oh well.


    Perhaps it's part of the song...

  7. I can tell that Sam will pick a good one. If Reclinerman doesn't post that is. Anyway, we have a few days still, lets get this one reviewed first lol
