Snippet from Wall Street Journal:
"In concert, U2 does not embellish the studio versions of its songs. "One," "New York" and "Staring at the Sun" all sounded in Madison Square Garden as they sound on the band's albums: tightly constructed works of concision and energy. The performance faltered only when the band forgot this principle. Why, for example, was Bono's voice amplified with an echo effect on almost every song? The synthesized voice has become increasingly common as a studio trick, but we don't expect the great rock acts to resort to Britney Spears-style cheating in a concert. Even worse, the sound-board jockeys were too busy juicing up the vocals to notice when Bono and The Edge, singing backup, were caught in an audio sludge, their voices lost."
