This album confuses me, & I don't want to figure it out, but for fans of the band they would definitely love this, I mean it is one of their most popular albums anyway but as a studio album it's a good listen but quite inconsistent. Sixty Seconds in Kingdom Come, B-side to The Unforgettable Fire single More outtakes dug out of of the pile in service of filling 12-inch singles. This includes their covers of The Beatles's Helter Skelter, & the song All Along the Watchtower. However.whilst most of these performances are good, therefore I think this album is quite good, in fact I think it's very good for the most part, there're just some tracks that leave me scratching my head. These performances, like of Pride are fantastic, & I do really like the songs exclusive to this album like Love Rescue Me & the closer All I Want Is You, these songs are quite epic. The more American style they had going on The Joshua Tree works well b/c it puts a focus on their stadium anthemic songs, this album doesn't really focus on the band's strengths, except when they're performing their old songs. But, if you love Pop, you will certainly enjoy this one. Honestly, it is very inconsistent as Live Album. ![]() The live gig was held at Mexico Citys Foro Sol. For one I think it's way too long at 70 minutes, but it's a live set so I guess it makes sense that it's long, but their dive into trying to be an American blues band kind of fails, not in the way that any song is bad but the blues don't really fit U2 & their style. U2 Hasta la vista Baby: Live From Mexico City (2000) Released in 2000 as part of the Pop Mart World Tour. This one's a weird one, I knew going in that this was more of a half-live half-studio type of album, but honestly this just feels like a live album more than anything with a few songs sprinkled in that aren't on any other U2 studio album. Honourable Mentions: Love Rescue Me, All I Want Is You ![]() Best Track: Pride (In The Name Of Love) - Live
