A very good recording of the Mannheim concert. Clarity and crispness are very good to excellent. The high end is very clear, so that you can hear, for example, Larry's cymbals very well. On the other hand, the low end could be slightly more pronounced to make the sound more voluminous, in my opinion. Audience noise is no factor. A nice concert if you look for some high quality recordings from the Popmart tour since Bono and the band are in an excellent mood this night and a lot of songs are decorated with lines and snippets from all kinds of other songs.
