Sound Quality: Good to very good to audience. Comments: The instruments are very clear, meaning you can easily distinguish one from the other (unlike some really "muddy" bootlegs out there) although there is a little lack of midrange. The cymbals aren't exactly super crisp (I'm talking bootleg standards here) but are very listenable. The vocals are ever-so-slightly a bit low side but maybe that's how the acoustics of the stadium were that night. The sound is a bit on the flat and artificial side as there seems to be a lack of the audience and stadium atmosphere. Crowd noise seems to be like random clapping instead of a real stadium audience thus making it "artificial." Overall, this boot is among the upper echelon of PopMart audience boots and is recommended. What sets this boot apart from the other audience PopMart bootlegs is the PopMart version of "Bad," with snippets of "Never Tear Us Apart," "Walk On The Wild Side" and "All I Want Is You." During "Discotheque," Bono sang snippets of the Bee Gees' "Stayin' Alive." This was the second Australian PopMart show. This came from an audience DAT recording. The front cover is taken from a mini-poster sold with the Australian 'Mofo' remix single CD. The back cover has pictures of Bono, Adam, and the arch behind a tracklisting. The inside covers feature scans of a newspaper review of the concert, a newspaper advertisement for the show, a concert ticket and a "working personnel" ID pass. Some audience noise is prominent between songs, but does not distract from the music. "Sunday Bloody Sunday" is the acoustic version sung by The Edge.
