This is probably conservatively graded as an A-  audience recording...there is cover art at the archive which shows nine tracks on disc 1 (does not have the Intro as track 1, and ends with The Cry-Electric Co., and nine tracks on disc  2 (Bad through "40" with no listing for the Clannad outro track).

"Slowly but surely the new show begins to take shape; in Bordeaux a full 18-song set is played.  MLK has returned, after its unfortunate premiere in Lyon.  Bad still sounds rickety because Bono cannot handle the demanding "I'm wide awake" part, while Indian Summer Sky lacks the edge it has on record.

"The band checked out the town the previous night and stumbled on a fun fair.  "There was this big wheel, and we went to the top of it and could see all over the city of Bordeaux," Bono says excitedly, implying that usually they have no time for such outings.  "When you travel a lot, you go in and out of hotels, another room, more people and more people, you just forget that...."  He stammers, realizing this is a problem that fans will have difficulty relating to.  "We've a pretty job actually.   Well, this is for some of you who maybe don't feel so good, but I'm sure you will -- this is a song called 40.  Comprenez moi?"
