Rating metrics:
Outliers can be removed when calculating a mean average to dampen the effects of ratings outside the normal distribution. This figure is provided as the trimmed mean. A high standard deviation can be legitimate, but can sometimes indicate 'gaming' is occurring. Consider a simplified example* of an item receiving ratings of 100, 50, & 0. The mean average rating would be 50. However, ratings of 55, 50 & 45 could also result in the same average. The second average might be more trusted because there is more consensus around a particular rating (a lower deviation).
(*In practice, some albums can have several thousand ratings)
This album is rated in the top 15% of all albums on BestEverAlbums.com. This album has a Bayesian average rating of 74.2/100, a mean average of 71.0/100, and a trimmed mean (excluding outliers) of 74.7/100. The standard deviation for this album is 20.3.

An emotion packed show from the Joshua Tree tour that didn't see release until the 20th anniversary remaster box. Most of the show is here with the exception of a couple cover songs.
A nice document of a very memorable tour. The video is definitely worth seeing as well.

U2 live is more impressive than their albums. As recorded live... pending.
U2 are excellent live band, and this album proves it. They bring great energy to their shows, and Bono has the voice to deliver.
I'm not a really fan of Bono's voice in that time. But is a great register
