Great show. This was my twelfth u2 show and second for this tour (the other was New York). I have previously seen U2 in this building and since it is a domed building the sound can be quite muffled. The crowd was quite good except for the new material. I think the new album plays great live. If I could make a few complaints, I can't seem to figure out why they still play Until the End of The World. This song should have stayed with the Zoo TV tour. I only say this because their catalogue of music is so deep and they could put almost anything in this slot. Also, this section of music featuring Unknown Caller, UTEOTW, and Unforgettable Fire, seems to lose the crowd a bit. I'm sure this will change next year if they are touring with a new album. On a positive note, In a Little While, Suck in a Moment (acoustic) , and Ultraviolet were great moments in the set. I have to say, after all the spectacles that U2 has put on, Willie Williams has nailed the visuals and lighting this time around.

Cheers,
