Comments:
Very good, expressive show and recording. Broadcast on the radio and
copied onto CD. Of course, it's a pity that Bono's voice is pretty bad,
but the band play very good to compensate. The best track is the
acoustic version "Sunday Bloody Sunday" sung by The Edge. "Miss
Sarajevo" (with Brian Eno) is also quite good too. The bonus tracks are
all The Edge singing karaoke songs, and are pretty bad in sound quality
(compared to the rest of the tracks on this bootleg. There is a slight
"volume-adjustment" problem in beginning, but it's solved after the first
2 or 3 tracks. This is definitely one of the best shows of the PopMart
Tour! It is very obvious that Bono feels very passionately for the
Sarajevo crowd. He apologizes for his hoarse voice numerous times
throughout the show. The bonus tracks are OK; a good run-down of what
songs the band used for their "Karaoke gimmick" throughout the tour.
They are not the best quality, though. Kristoffer Meinert

This is the original pressing on this label.
