NOTE: An excellent audience recording of the first of two concerts that were filmed by the band for an official DVD release.  Before the concert begins, Rocko, a member of U2's road crew, informs the crowd that the show is being taped.  Sound quality and clarity are excellent.

Bono brings a girl on stage during "Into the Heart".  He asks her name and then tells her "my name is Paul Hewson".  During the intro to "Miracle Drug", Bono talks briefly about why the band has chosen to play more new songs than old songs:

"We also want to move on.  And there are people here from a different generation.  And that also gives us a reason to love Chicago.  We don't really look back that much in our music.  We don't look at the past.  The best hits of the past we try to bring with us...they're our songs.  Songs like 'Pride (In the Name of Love)'.  Songs like 'Sunday Bloody Sunday'.  Songs like 'Where the Streets Have No Name'.  They're the best hits of the past and we'll take them with us.  Cause we're interest, and we're excited, and we have faith in the future.  That's where we're headed."

A girl is brought on state to play guitar during "Party Girl".  She struggles a bit, so the band brings her back on stage the following night...presumably so that a more polished performance can be included on the DVD.
