This was the first time I saw U2 live, after listening to War Tour concerts replayed on Boston radio I knew it would be an incredible night. Like a lot of people, I wasn't sure how the Unforgettable Fire songs could even be played live, but Edge's guitar was powerful. The highlights of the show for me were Wire, The Electric Co. and New Year's Day. We never took our seats the whole night, U2 is such an engaging band, Bono had the audience eating from his hand. They seem to weave the set list into a story, almost like a play. After the encore, a guy ran up to The Edge on stage as if to say "we're not worthy" The Edge looked at him with a wry smile like "you're getting way too carried away". U2 Live is an adrenaline rush!
