U2 and B.B. King
Live at the Westfalenhalle
Dortmund, Germany
December 14 1989
Audience recording (A-)

Well, I have no idea what happened between the second Paris show two days earlier and now, but this show is an entirely different story to the Paris shows vocally. Bono sounds like a 20 year smoker here, with this incredibly raspy tone which he sounds super weak with most of the time. I personally think he should've just had a glass of water before the show. One good thing is that it seems he took this advice from me sometime during the show, as he somehow gets marginally better towards the backend of the set, around Bullet the Blue Sky approximately. Bono aside, everybody else is in pretty damn solid form here. Larry especially is having a great night, as is Edge, and B.B. King puts forward arguably one of his best When Love Comes to Town solos, which combined Bono's (slightly) improved voice make the second half of this show quite enjoyable, surprisingly. The tape is also very solid here, and is definitely listenable, albeit running a tad slow.
