Análisis (en inglés) - :
It would be difficult to review {^Santiago}, a two-CD set, without some discussion of politics. That's because this bootleg was recorded on February 11, 1998 at {~el Estadio Nacional} in Santiago, Chile, a place that had seen more than its share of bloodshed under the {%Augusto Pinochet} regime in the 1970s and 1980s. {%Pinochet's} dictatorship was among the most violently repressive governments in the history of Latin America, and {$U2's} {&"Mothers of the Disappeared"} was written for the families of those who died at the hands of such Latin American regimes. Under {%Pinochet}, anyone who dared to perform that song in public literally paid with his/her life. So it's quite heartening to hear {$U2} perform {&"Mothers of the Disappeared"} in a more democratic, post-{%Pinochet} Chile. {$Bono's} feelings for Latin America obviously ran deep, which explains why {$U2} sounds especially inspired on {^Santiago}. A soundboard recording, {^Santiago} offers sound quality that is decent but not excellent. {$U2's} two-hour performance, however, is superb. {$U2} puts a lot of heart into 1980s favorites like {&"New Year's Day,"} {&"Bullet the Blue Sky,"} {&"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"} and {&"Sunday Bloody Sunday,"} as well as songs it had recorded in the 1990s (including {&"Discotheque,"} {&"Last Night On Earth,"} {&"Staring at the Sun"} and {&"If You Wear That Velvet Dress"}). The show closes with a very moving {&"Mothers of the Disappeared,"} which finds {$U2} joined by actual relatives of {%Pinochet's} victims. Though it doesn't have the audiophile-like sound quality that characterized other {$U2} bootlegs in the 1990s, {^Santiago} is well worth obtaining if you come across a copy. ~ Alex Henderson, All Music Guide
