    Comments on this show
    With the Popmart tour on its way for some time the band was finally gaining momentum and put on one an amazing show in Hannover, Germany. Bono's voice was very good and with highlight performances cush as Even Better, Last Night On Earth and Suspicious Minds this show is another must-have.

    We encourage you to listen to this show this month and write your own review, the more, the better. Enjoy!

  2. I listened to this show recently and I still think it's a great show. Make sure you have the "Showdown in Hannover" source. Great sound.
    Let me do some shameless advertising: if you read our story map for the 2nd leg of Popmart, you'll see that the band was at a breaking point on the tour. Under-performing attendance, problems with the technology, crappy shows, etc. I think the tour picked up right at this show and never looked back (well, perhaps not until the Tampa show).
  3. I was at that POPMART show so many years ago.
    I'd liked it a whole lot. Anazing show.
  4. Giving it a shot now
  5. Bought a ticket for this show as a present for my girlfriend's birthday (yes, true romance). This was our 2nd and last Popmart show and I still regret not attending more Popmart shows. Fond memories though.

    The Hannover show was great. There was plenty of space as it was not sold out. Great performance of a very relaxed band.
  6. This show has quite some unidentified snippets. Like the one in Mysterious Ways. Very difficult to find a match!
  7. U2start liveshow of this show on 20 August, on the anniversary date of the show
  8. In about 10 hours we'll kick off with this amazing Popmart show, one of the first awesome Popmart shows in my view.
  9. 90 minutes to go
  10. Will there be pre-show music?
  11. I should be here
