NOTE:  This bootleg is very clean with minimal audience noise and prominent vocals.  There is no audience clapping in the foreground, something that plagues several recordings from the European leg.  From the beginning of the recording through "Elevation" the sound is just a bit thin, but immediately after the opening song is finished there is a rough edit and a fuller sound emerges.

The awesome Hawkmoon 269/Desire/Running To Stand Still medley alone is enough to convince almost any U2 fan to acquire this bootleg.  "Hawkmoon" hadn't been played since the Lovetown tour over a decade ago.  To be honest, it's not really played during this show, but Bono sings the 90 seconds worth of the lyrics with The Edge playing the opening notes of "Desire" softly in the background.  The band then launches into "Desire", at the end of which Bono starts singing "Running To Stand Still" virtually unaccompanied seemingly on a whim.  Again, the song is not played in its entirety, but almost two minutes are included.  At the end, The Edge segues back into the closing notes of "Desire" and Bono plays his bit on the harmonica.  It is truly an incredible performance.  Even with the band changing the setlist a bit on the Elevation tour, U2 hasn't displayed this type of spontaneity for many, many years.
