Description French version   
The begining of the show is a little bit abrupt. Before singing really Vertigo, Bono makes sing "hello hello" with the public. During the song Bono shouts more than he sings. On I will follow the Bono is not better. Snippet with Bullet With Butterfly Wings of Smashing Pumpkins during Electric Co. Despite everything its energy, Bono cannot mask his really limiting voice at this beginning in concert.
On Beautiful Day Bono misfires a little the words.

Appearance of All I want is you. First time that a song of Rattle and Hum is played on Vertigo Tour.

Just before Edge verse on Miracle Drug Bono plays with the public. Just at the beginning of Love and Peace or Else Bono launch a wondering "a mother fucker". At the end of Bullet the blue sky, he sings (if we can say "sing") a part of Please.

Before One, Bono make a speech of around 2 minutes without much conviction (it seems very tired).
The Zoo Station which follows lack cruelly of energy (especially if we compare it with the versions of the leg1). Bono is wrong on The Fly lyrics (a little bit like in the first Vertigo Tour show). That does not prevent the song to have a great final. Second Vertigo is more powerful than the first one (but really much more). As if Bono had decided to awake just for the last song...

To summarize this show, I believe that we can say that Bono is not good : limiting voice, lapse of memory of words... Concert really average level performance. The setlist is not really bad, but Bono is not there.

If we add a sounds quality far to be good, we have a bootleg only for collector. Really not a priority!
Sound French version   
Very good audience sound

Oddly for an audience we don't hear the public. The sound crackle terribly and there are a constant breath (like at the time of the cassette recorders). The voice of Bono appears far and in general the sound is a little bit "deaf". During Sunday Bloody Sunday and at the end of One we can hears an interference due to... a mobile phone !
