An extraordinary concert recorded in good quality! U2 celebrate the last regular concert of the tour with some special songs like "11 O'Clock Tick Tock", or "Mothers Of The Disappeared" which never or only occasionally found a space in the setlists on this tour. An absolute highlight is Larry's rendition of "Tequila Sunrise". The sound suffers a bit from lack of clarity and crispness but all instruments and vocals come through clearly. During "Out Of Control" some quiet distorsions appear but I couldn't figure out if it is a burning flaw or part of the original recording. "40" fades out after the last chorus. The bonus tracks (9 - 14 on disc 2 are the San Francisco 04/25/87 soundcheck).
