setlist

Performance notes: Second and last known live performance of Carry Me Home, a rough unreleased U2 original with lyrics consisting almost entirely of "carry me home". It was believed for years prior to 2010 that this was the sole performance of Carry Me Home. Bruce Springsteen and Pete Townshend both attended this gig and met with the band afterwards.

Performance

One of the highest energy gigs I can remember listening to, which is really cool to think about. Here's a band coming off their first major album our, and they're coming home (somewhat) after playing across Europe and the United States. The crowd sings along and really carries the show for a lot of the songs. You can tell the guys are really having fun and enjoying themselves at this show.

"I'm a Believer" snippet was awesome. I love how Bono even says "Let's try that again."

"Stories for Boys"....oh, how I wish they'd bring this song back to the setlists in its entirety. I would probably crap my pants out of sheer joy.

Nice to see some songs that I'm not that familiar with in the setlist: Boy-Girl and Fire, to be specific. Also great to see the band trying out some songs from the October album....

Sound

Audio quality was okay (3 out of 5 in my opinion), but it had some pretty major glitches throughout. Bass was almost non-existent, which I'm discovering is a pretty common problem in these bootlegs (particularly audience recordings)
Recording: Audience microphone - 3 stars

Overall

Overall, I love this bootleg. Sure, the audio quality isn't spectacular, but the crowd's energy alone makes it worth having. Oh, to be able to jump in a time machine and check out the band's early shows......
