Performance

This was my first show of U2. We have been waiting for years to have them on South America, and the pick a really nice warm night of February to do their debut.

Great show, with a sold out soccer stadium.


Sound

Great audio. The show was broadcasted through public television on standard definition.
Recording: "Live In Santiago 1998" - 4.5 stars

Audience

Chilean audience was quite engaged in the band's performance. Bono even managed to spill a few local idioms like "cachai" - which is shorten for "did you get it?" or "did you catch it?" - which were greeted with loud whistling and cheers.

They ended the show like many others, using a relaxed and low paced song.

This time was the turn for "Mothers of the Disappeared", while being joined on stage with a group of actual mothers and relative of people disappeared during Pinochet's dictatorship. A noble and quite emotional moment to close out a superb presentation.


Overall

This was my first live show of U2. It was extremely special because I have been "waiting" for them for more than 10 years. And they delivered. Boy they did.

It is by far one my best memories of their on a live setting, probably second only to my first U2 concert in American soil in 2001, a few months after 9/11.
