Performance

The good old days.Yes indeed.I was at this show,many years ago.So,yes Im a bit biased here.This gig is U2 at their peak.They were the biggest band in the world.JT was the biggest LP.I saw the band 10 times on this tour,and this show followed by night 2,were the best shows period EVER for me,and I have seen the band on EVERY tour from UF-360.The band did not return to NYC for 5 long years after this gig.They changed in that time,as we all did.I have lived my life through U2s music.I remember the openeing bars of Streets like it was yesterday.So emotional.It was indeed like a spiritual gathering at MSG.We stood in awe of this great band from Ireland.Bonos Dad was at this gig.' Irelands the place from keeping my feet from getting wet !!!".Sunday Bloody Sunday in NYC.An epic version.BTBS,Bad,Steets,IWF.....Amazing stuff here.You can not top this.

Sound

This show shocked me,on how well it sounds.I almost didnt bother to download this gig because it was rated a 4.That rating does not do this gig justice.This was recorded in 1987.It is a much better recording than Brussels,and both shows have been talked about as the best of this tour,and maybe ever by the band.Im very picky(bitchy) about bootleg recordings.There is no,zero, loud yelling over the band.You can hear Bono like hes in your livingroom. You must download this gig now.Bonos voice is so clear,as is the bands instruments.Adams bass is very audible and deep,listen to NYD.Then listen to the energy of this band.They took nothing for granted,and gave us what we needed.Amazing night in NYC.I will never forget.
Recording: Audience microphone - 4 stars

Audience

Fantastic.We did not sit down at all this evening.And sang our hearts out.

Overall

I think this gig has flown under the radar.I know it was a long time ago,but this is classic U2.No over the top props,no 50 foot LEMONS,No Village People getups,No Claw,No 200 foot TV screens with images to distract us from the music.This show was about one thing.The MUSIC.Listen to Exit.Very,very intense.Bono was shaking during Bloody Sunday.October/NYD.After NYD Bonos says,"I think Im in love".That is a personal favorite of mine,NYD.Its the song that got me hooked on U2,at 16.U2 have always love playing NYC.You can really feel it here.I have read that this was Bonos fathers first show,he picked a good one to attened.As did I.Get this old school U2 gig now.BAD WAS EPIC.Wide Awake in NYC........This night will stay with me always.
