“My feeling is, that it is cool f or the people to share ourmusic - as long as no one is making money from the process. We tell the people who come to our concerts that they can tape the show if they want. I think, it is cool that people are so passionate about our music.”

Comments:
The track listing is incorrect. "If You Wear That Velvet Dress" is listed twice; once as a track from the Eugene show and later as a track from the Utah show. The version from the Eugene show is not on either disc and, as far as I know, the song was not actually performed at the concert. "Sunday Bloody Sunday" is actually indexed as Track 2 on Disc 2, but is not listed on the sleeve. This version is *not* the original song; it's a single, improvised verse with completely different lyrics, but the same music. It works beautifully as the ending to "Please" and the intro "Where The Streets Have No Name." Other highlights of the discs are a very good version of "If God Will Send His Angels" and a rare performance of "Do You Feel Loved." Disc 1, Track 13 features Edge singing a karaoke version of the song the Monkees made famous. Overall, a good show. Bono says a lot of things about it being the first show in Eugene, OR. It seems to be the complete show but I could be wrong. The CD is edited very nicely. The packaging is very nice- the PopMart Logo on the front, with the sleeve done in PopMart colors. The back inside panel (where the CDs rest) has a good print out of the shopping cartoon played on the PopMart screen. The inside sleeve has one nice picture of Bono and one of The Edge. I was a little disappointed when I didn't hear Edge give his backing vocals to "Gone," (I had come to like and expect them in the live version of that song) but who can resist Edge singing "Daydream Believer?" I am not sure what Bono is singing in the beginning of "Stand By Me" on the bonus tracks. Lee Ellen contributed to this review.
This is the original pressing on this label.
