Coment: (by Justin)
This recording absolutely rocks.  Sound quality is exceptional...without a doubt it's the best Elevation tour recording I've heard.  All of the instruments are crystal clear, Bono's vocals are incredibly sharp, and there is virtually no crowd noise.  The sound is so clear that even The Edge's back-up vocals are clearly audible. 
After a decade of gadgets, the music really is at the heart of the performance once again.  The updated version of "Discotheque" featuring a slower intro and a much less techno sound is played.  The completely overhauled opening to "The Fly" is performed as well.  As the tour progresses, Bono is learning the lyrics to the new songs and the performance is considerably better than, say, Charlotte.  Nonetheless, the boys still need a lot of work!  Regardless, it is great to hear songs like "I Will Follow" and "Sunday Bloody Sunday" again. 
Before "One" Bono asks some fans to pass an Irish flag up front.  He says "I used to feel ashamed of this flag.  Because of some brave men and women over the last fifteen years, I take great pride now in this flag."   It's very interesting to hear Bono mellow a bit as he grows older.  Overall, Bono isn't very talkative but that's understandable given that the band is probably more concerned with getting the music down than conversing with the crowd.
