This was my third time seeing U2 (once on each prior tour), but by far, it was the most spectacular thanks to my location - front and center. I got there at 11am and it was worth every second.

The inner circle was one big dance party, especially during Mysterious Ways and the Crazy Remix (which, I'm not going to lie, I think is better than the album version!). Even though I knew it was coming, I still think Your Blue Room was the most random (in a good way) addition to this tour. But, above and beyond everything else, nothing did it for me more than finally hearing Ultraviolet live. That just did me in. Poor guys with the fog machines though, they kept trying to blast Bono but there was just barely a strong enough wind that they had a tough time hitting him with it.

The show also made me rediscover my love of With Or Without You, I have to admit. The only thing I really missed was No Line on the Horizon, I was really hoping for that one, be c'est la vie.
