This was the second U2 show I've seen and it blew me away. I was at the first show of the 3rd leg in Toronto back in September and I think I had a much better time at this one. That's probably because I had GA this time instead of section 317 behind the stage. You have not really seen a U2 show properly until you've seen it from the floor. I didn't get in the ellipse, but had lined up long enough that I was 2 rows back from the outer rail on Adam's side. I like to give a shout out to Jay and Vicky from Windsor who were in line behind me. The show was incredible. Bono came out plenty of times and stood directly in front of us for most of With or Without You. A girl behind me got a little carried away at that point and had to be "escorted" out by security. Adam also came out and stood by us at one point (during the encore I think) because there were a couple of girls with a sign that said Adam on it right next to me. Well done. And I noticed none of the other reviews mentioned the Bono lookalike who was pulled up on stage. It was hilarious. All in all an excellent experience, even though it involved enduring Gavin Rossdale's ridiculous attempts at showmanship and his new band's poor performance as openers.
