U2's concert last night in Ottawa was great. I was in Chicago for the May 7 show and this one was easily as good. I do think though that Bono struggled a couple of times with his voice esp on the 1st encore. Having said that, when he sang both his and Pavarotti's vocal parts on Miss Sarajevo it was absolutely amazing. I kept hoping for a couple of B-sides tunes as a bonus but no matter. I thought the crowd was really into the show but there were def pockets of sit-downers BUT that happened in Chicago too and that city calls itself U2's home in N.A. Leaving B4 the concert was over - dumb, dumb, dumb. I will never understand that - if you don't want to sit in traffic go for a beer at Marshy's and wait a half hour. Arcade Fire was a super opening act - faaaar better than Sons of Leon in Chicago.
