This show was my fourth time seeing U2, but my second during Elevation 2001 (11-15-87,4-17-92,11-15-01,11-20-01). This was the greatest of all four. I got off work at noon and went down to Arco to wait in line to get into the heart. Nervousness and anticipation was among us in line, worried that maybe after waiting all day, that we would not get into the heart. All of that disappeared as we were finally led into the Arena and placed in the heart. I was just at the inside tip of the heart. It was so awesome being that close. Watching Bono and Edge play "Angel of Harlem" and "Please" feet in front of me was incredible. Also the strobe light effects during "Until The End Of The World". It was nice to hear certain songs they did on 11-15 in Oakland replaced by others. New Years Day replaced by Mysterious Ways, Out of Control replaced by I Will Follow, Wild Honey replaced by Angel of Harlem, and the full version of "Peace On Earth" before "Walk On" at the end of the show. I was the guy that Bono handed the bubbles back to in the heart. As soon as he handed them to me, I gave them to the original owner behind me. I'm a nice guy, what can I say. Thank you to those other reviewers on this site who shared their pictures with us of this show. Nice souvenirs from the show.
