Was a good concert by U2's standards, songs that were highlights for me included:
- The Ocean, as I haven't heard this one live before, An Cat Dubh and Into the Heart were played on the previous night. Was great to hear these songs live - after such a long time listening to the studio versions - the performance was superb.
- The Fly, as usual is a great live song.
- Bad, I thought this was a brilliant song to play at the end of the concert, given that it isn't over played at concerts, was great to hear it.
The best of the new songs I thought were: Vertigo, CoBL, Miracle Drug and All Because. Pity that Crumbs From Your Table wasn't played.
I Still Haven't Found was played with a local band, "The Bank Robbers", was entertaining and got a very good reception from the audience.
I thought the support act Kings of Leon were very good although there was limited interest in them from the sparse crowd.
