review by MattG

14 years ago

Performance

Right at the beginning of the first leg, and the band already sounds a little uninspired with their performances. Like they know the songs too well already and just sort of want to get through the show. There is a certain amount of energy, but this performance to me is perfectly average.

Sound

Again, nothing to glorify, but is surely listenable. Everything is clear. I like Edge's guitar sound and vocals on this one.
Recording: "Schoeps MK41 - SONY PCM-D100" - 3.5 stars

Audience

They come through pretty good in the recording. They don't take up too much space, but they are audible.

Overall

Nothing overly impressive. Like I said before, the band sounds strangely uninspired. I do enjoy the fact that they were a bit more liberal with the setlist on the first leg, in that they toyed with it quite a bit and although the songs themselves didn't change, positions were altered until they found the perfect set. I loved Zoo Station/Fly/MW closing the main set as opposed to Pride/Streets/One, which instead outfit the encore.

The only highlights of this show, for me, were:

-New Years Day
-The Fly
-Mysterious Ways

Skippable show, in my opinion.
