i dont really have anything new to add about the show except to agree that it was a very good show. i had a chance to upgrade 2 crappy $48 tickets for 2 $85 dollar tickets(which i was happy about)the day of. The scalper acted like i was taking food off his plate by holding out for 50 for both,but im a horrible person. my highlights were stay and all i want is you(the latter being a surprise). the new songs sounded great too. i agree with some of the others that the speakers seemed to be pointing down so we didnt get a very good mix of the sound(we were about half way up). the bass was very heavy most of the night also. this being my first ever time ive seem them live,i can say i was very impressed by the show. my brother(who wasnt a real big fan)was equally as impressed. the congo line was hilarious. i found it kind of strange that bono went with a wireless headset mike for new york,but that song only. they started the song and he was singing,but i didnt see him holding a mike,but my trusty binoc's picked up the headset. i had never seem him use those before. my only other surprise was how many new songs they are playing on this tour. they could probably go for 3 hours easily with all the "hits" they didnt play(bad and 40 are a couple i missed). cheers!
