Third show of the 360 tour and 17th over the years. Was at Paris II, and Wembley yesterday (see previous review for Wembley!).
Tonight, was situated in seats next to Edge side. (Block 110).
The support acts sound was very poor where we were where. I was just hoping that the sound would improve for U2. Glad to say it did.
There was a marked difference in the audience atomosphere tonight which was evident even from the Mexican Wave before the band even took to the stage!
U2 did not disappoint with their performance at all tonight. They really fed off the audience tonight, and gave it 100%.
The set selection was great. The addition of Bad, Until The End of The World, Stay, and New Years Day were fantastic.
There was also a moment during Streets where Edge ran around the stage (much to the delight of the audience), and not wanting to be outdone, Bono left the main stage area to run around the outer circle in the opposite direction to Edge to meet him half way!!!
The end of Pride was ended prematurely when Larry made the call, but was quickly restarted by Bono continuing to sing the "Oh Oh Oh Oh". This brought smiles to each of the band members which was really great to see. (even Larry managed a smile!).
Bono also mentioned the fact that Joe H had told him a story of when he was around when they were in the process of building the new Wembley Stadium, and that he managed to place one of Edge's guitar plectrums under the soil.
All in all a great concert from a band truly on the top of their game.
