This bootleg starts off so poorly that I immediately thought it would be the worst recording in my collection when listening to it the first time. Suffice to say that "Where the Streets Have No Name" is essentially a waste of disc space. The bass is far too high and it sounds as if the person recording the show was standing outside of the stadium. The sound is muffled and the thundering, dull bass only makes matters worse.  Thankfully, things improve and by the time "I Will Follow" begins, the sound is much clearer -- the recorder must have made his way inside of the building by this point!  This is not to say that the sound is suddenly wonderful.  There is still some persistent static in the background and the crispness that is a feature of any audience recording worthy of an "B+" or greater isn't there. Audience noise is certainly audible and stray conversations can be heard at times.
Also, there is a small skip at the beginning of "With Or Without You".
