“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: A snippet of MLK appears at the end of One during tonights concert. Bono brings a pregnant woman on stage to dance with him during Elevation, and another girl on stage for With or Without You. Bono has some difficulties with his voice during Pride after a strong performance of Miss Sarajevo. John Kerry is mentioned as being present in the crowd as is Tom Brady. For Yahweh Bono appears dressed in a Red Sox jersey, and leaves it on the microphone stand as he leaves the stage at the end. At the end of 40 Larry puts on the jersey before leaving. Before the 2nd encore, U2 tape a short acceptance speech for the upcoming Q Awards.

 

Pro's:
=========
Very little harsh audience - exactly what I wouldn't expect from the 6ft pt outside the heart.

Bono's vocals are very clear!

Con's:
================
Kind of bassy/ muddy, maybe it's just not what I like.

Sound is a bit distant:
=================
Again, exactly opposite of what I would expect from 6 ft outside the heart. It may be that the mics were under something, or lower than shoulder height. There is a clearly defined echo.

Not a great deal of high-end on this recording:
==================================
It's lacking a crispness that I like on the high end & some mid-range.
To me, it sounds more like some of the better recordings taken from behind the stage.

Overall Grade: 3.5 (very listenable)
Note: Probably a bit higher on most other people's ratings.
