Taper: Corey Present
 

NOTE: Corey did just as good of a job recording the concerts in the upper Midwest as he did in Texas.  Hard to believe, but true.  Those of you who have heard "Deep In the Heart...of Texas" or "Old School: U2 In Dallas" know how good Corey's recordings sound.  This show is very similar to those bootlegs.  Again, crowd noise is no problem whatsoever and sound clarity is fantastic.  The only flaws are a few small pops at approximately 0:25 of "Help".  The sound on this bootleg isn't quite as sharp and powerful as it is on the recording from the previous night.  Therefore, as I did with Corey's Indianapolis recording for similar reasons, I have rated this recording as "EX AUD" instead of "EX+ AUD".  Even so, it is still better than almost every other Elevation bootleg out there.

Bono has problems with his voice for the first time on the Elevation tour.  "The Ground Beneath Her Feet" and "With Or Without You" are pulled from the setlist as a result.  Bono avoids high notes throughout the concert, making for some interesting renditions.  "Help" is totally butchered from the beginning, with The Edge first screwing up the guitar accompaniment and then Bono forgetting the lyrics.  A little more the thirty seconds in Bono simply stops and the crowd goes wild.

On a personal note, this was the second U2 concert I ever attended.  My only previous U2 experience had been on an airport runway in Rome, Italy in 1997.  I stood 3/4 of a mile from the stage and watched the entire concert on the video screen.   Imagine how amazing it was for me to stand inside the heart at this gig and be no more than five feet from Bono and The Edge when they came out on the b-stage!
