Sound Quality:
Disc 1, Disc 2 (1-8): Good to very good audience.
Disc 2 (9-13): Fair audience.
The first two songs sound fairly bad, but the sound quality improves
considerably with "Even Better Than The Real Thing" and stays quite
clear for the rest of the show, but certain parts, such as the harmonica
between "Running to Stand Still" and "Where The Streets Have No Name"
are a little faint.
Comments:
A good sampler of a typical American ZOO TV Outside Broadcast show.
Bono and Co. were clearly enjoying themselves that night, playing a
loose, relaxed set, with Bono frequently chatting it up and joking with
the audience in between songs. Larry's inspired rendition of Thin
Lizzy's "Whiskey in the Jar" is hilarious, especially after Bono
introduces him as, "My mate, Marky Mark." "I Still Haven't Found What
I'm Looking For" is a beautiful addition to the mid-show "unplugged"
set; I know of no other shows where the song was performed in this part
of the show, which is a shame, because it works wonderfully. "With
Or Without You" is the extended version with lyrics from "Love Will
Tear Us Apart", and "Love Is Blindness" is drawn out to six-and-a-half
chilling, riveting minutes. The bonus tracks of "Redemption Song" and
"Sunday Bloody Sunday" are a nice surprise, as is "Southern Man", in
which Bono invites an audience member to play guitar, like he did during
The Lovetown Tour. "Hawkmoon 269", a favorite of mine, is sadly maimed
by a terrible recording, and the extra take of "Unchained Melody" is an
equally-poor recording that is completely unnecessary, as that song is
performed as part of the main show. This set is overall a very pleasing
one.
This is the original pressing on this label.
