Performance

Good performance. Bono's voice is pretty good and steady throughout, the piano parts are lovely, and overall it's just a good little outing.

Sound

Very nice sound.
Recording: Webcast - 4 stars

Audience

There wasn't an audience

Overall

It's four new songs, not at all dissimilar to the bonus disc of the album, and Stuck In a Moment You Can't Get Out Of. Wish they'd picked a different song to close -- either another new one or an oddity, but ah well, it was done by request.

Good sounding, well-played, not magnificent but shows promise for future appearances.

Highlights:
-Every Breaking Wave
-While as I said above I wasn't thrilled at them playing Stuck, it's a really pretty performance of it. This style suits it more than many of its concert outings.

Minor Complaints:
-While Cedarwood Road and The Miracle are both great-sounding acoustic songs, I think they lose a lot of their raw power -- especially The Miracle. Hopefully we'll be seeing them electrically soon....

Anyway, overall, good show, hearing it live on the radio was a treat!
