Utterly amazing. I keep on telling people the closest thing I have for reference for the 360 tour is the Chinese Olympic opening ceremonies. They band were energetic, Edge in particular. The setlist, while lacking in some deeper cuts, still felt really solid and flowed very well. It was nice to see a few old warhorses like Pride, Bullet, and New Year's Day be put aside. How lucky is this band that they can do that and still have more than three frickin' decade's worth of some of the best rock ever to choose from? Standout songs for me were No Line on the Horizon, City of Blinding Lights, Ultraviolet, Breathe, and Streets. I see that other reviewers have said the sound wasn't too hot, but I got along the rail of the outside ring and it was about the best sound I've ever heard at a U2 show. Must be about the positioning of the speakers. Without a doubt, the biggest two hours of my life. Not sure if it's my favorite U2 show ever due to the greatest hits setlist, but it's without a doubt the most astonishing thing I've ever seen in person.
