Comments:
A good show, but you can hear the crowd talking. Sometimes you can even hear the crowd singing louder than Bono. I've heard better audience recordings and I've heard worse. This version of "Staring At The Sun" is a memorable one, as they start all wrong and are forced to start over. "Two Shots Of Happy, One Shot of Sad is a beauty! Color cover. Disc 2, Track 11 is from the PopMart press conference. Disc 2, Track 12 is from the ABC Frank Sinatra Tribute show which aired on ABC.
This is the original pressing on this label.
