Comments: This is very, very cool show! The band pulls off a brilliant performance. "Mothers Of The Disappeared (incl. El Pueblo Vencera)" is an outstanding and rare performance on PopMart in which Bono as introduction talks to the former Chile dictator Agosto Pinochet. During the song the actual mothers of "disappeared" children talk about when and where they lost their children. One disappointment though: at the end of "Where The Streets Have No Name," the song fades and cuts out the "Lemon (Perfecto Mix) Intermission" to "Discothèque." The Santiago crowd is very enthusiastic and help make this show very memorable. Their shouting and cheering doesn't take away from the quality of this bootleg. One of the best concerts from the PopMart tour captured in the absolute best form I have heard. The sound mix is near perfect. A stunning performance, with the first performance of "Bad" on the PopMart tour. The sheer power of "One" and "Mothers Of The Disappeared," with the Mothers coming up on stage with the band is overwhelming. "Staring At The Sun" is not complete. Do not pass this one up!

Performance

Liked it. Not fantastic, but good, solid. I'm a fan of Popmart anyway so I will always like most shows.

Highlights:-

EBTTRT - "Ciao Reggio. Viva Italia...., viva Popmart, ... viva..... Bono!" B-Man on top form
Mofo - very good and I agree with Jeremy entirely about the hairs on back of neck thing.
Discotheque - excellent performance
One - very good performance. None of the extended guitar from early ZooTV, but everything else.
Please/Streets - as normal this was amazing.
Bono's voice was generally very good, especially compared to the next show (Sarajevo)

Poor bits:-

LNOE dragged and I will never like Miami, ever.
Not keen on the karoake either.
Otherwise, nothing.

Sound

Right, first and foremost let me make a recommendation. Do not, repeat do not listen to this show through a cassette adapter in your car from your iPod. I did this and could barely listen; sucked, a lot.

So I gave it another go whilst walking the dogs with my Sennheisers - bloody fantastic by comparison.

Not 5 star by any means, needs changing to 3 or 3.5 in my opinion. No bass, poor drums and fuzzy occasionally. As others have said, no real impression of 150000 screaming Italians either.

But it's not bad
Recording: Audience microphone - 3.5 stars

Audience

Overall

Good listen. Just listen to it in the right circumstances.
There are better (Leeds, Santiago, Mexico, Sarajevo), but this is a solid, recommended 3.5 star listen
