Performance

By the end of 1984 the band were really finding their peak performing.This tour, and the Joshua Tree period,are my favorites. Bono really started to have some confidence in his voice.You can hear that confidence in the performance of UF and Bad, from this gig.Hes singing,not yelling.Back then,Bono had a very powerfull voice.Bad has a breakdown at the start,but Bono does some great improvising while Edge changes guitars.I saw the band 5 times on The Unforgettable Fire tour.This show,with Dortmund 11.21.84 ,NYC 04.01.85 and NJ 04.15.85 are the best from that tour.

Sound

This show is exactly 25 yrs old.Considering that,this is very good.You have alot of that "bootleg tin" sound,but Adams bass is clear.That saves the sound.Bonos voice is up front.A solid 4.Much better than most of the other bootlegs with the same ratting.The Dortmund gig and Montreal gig sound much,much better.But,this show is so good,you can deal with the tin sound.
Recording: "Unforgettable Scots" - 4 stars

Audience

Sound very good,but they are in and out from this recording.

Overall

Great show.Surrender,Two Hearts,Bad ,UF,EC (with no cuts),ASOH,40.This is classic U2.Vintage.You dont have any "remix" versions here.Thank God.This is the REAL U2.The great U2.The U2 I fell in love with when I was 16 in 1983.No gimmicks here.Then,it was all about the MUSIC.The 4 of them ,on a small stage.You didnt see Bono dressed up like a Devil,no 50 foot Lemon,no Village People outfits,no 250 foot claw.I paid $15 for my seat,sec 338 MSG,NYC,04.01.85.My how the times have changed.Indeed.
