Performance

Pretty good early performance. The band is excited to be touring, and it shows in the recording. Everyone is energetic and there are few flubs.

Sound

Really good for 1981, and very very listenable.

Audience

Not actually audible during the songs, but their responses afterwards are good.

Overall

Great show for its nostalgia purposes, with awesome performances of the early stuff, and the unreleased tracks are amazing to hear as well. This was a nice listen.

Highlights:
-An Cat Dubh/Into the Heart
-The Electric Co.
-Out of Control (we're going home now!)
-Bono's closing remark just before Twlight ends- 'I'm not afraid of the dark.'
