Comments

Last of four nights in London, and the band put on a very good show. The concert took place one day after Bono's father had passed away. Quoting U2-Live book (released by Omnibus Press, 2003):

[Out of Control has an interesting rap in the middle: "Got a plan, we're gonna go out and catch the train, catch the train, take a boat and the train, wake up at Waterloo, with a demo cassette, people to call, things to do, 17 years old, still sniffing glue. Mister... wanna hear our demo? Three tracks, Out of Control, Stories for Boys and Boy/Girl, we think we've got something special. Will you listen to it? Like... now. Will you listen to it, Mister record industry type. Will you listen. To. It. I'm just gonna wait outside. You listen to it now!].

Not much to say about sound quality. This is an excellent sounding recording, very powerful with a good capture of all instruments and vocals, and moreover, minimal crowd interference.
