Performance

Another top-tier show from the band tonight from the 1st North American leg of the Elevation tour with the band putting in a mostly smooth performance with only Wake Up Dead Man having a minor issue tonight where Bono got lost during the start but this issue was quickly resolved, Bono's voice is also in good form tonight as he puts in a great performance giving it his all during certain songs and despite a few rough patches holds up strongly throughout the entire course of the gig without any signs on weakening as the show progresses.

Sound

A great matrix between the IEM recordings and an audience recording here, the audience recording part really allows you to hear the audience a lot more than a standard IEM and the base IEM recordings offer a clear way to listen to what the band are doing on stage so congrats to the person who made this as I think they did a solid job with merging these two types of recordings as it solved the "dry" problem that I usually have with IEM recordings and soundboards.
Recording: IEM - 4.5 stars

Audience

Pretty good crowd for this 1st night in Chicago, they do the usual audience things such as singing along and cheering and seem to be engaged with the performance at many points during the show so that gives a pleasant atmosphere for the band to play in.

Overall

So, for the 1st night of the Chicago run, this show is another must-listen for the 1st leg of the proper Elevation tour as everyone is in great spirits and want to give the audience a fantastic performance there are also the things that happen during the performances such as a fan who joins the band during Stay and plays the piano with them which makes this acoustic rendition of Stay a lot more interesting than others so overall just an above-average show on the tour leg in my opinion.
