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 (hansa@usa.net) contributed to this review.
This is the original pressing on this label.
