This was by my estimate my 15th U2 shows since 1987, been to every tour since then. Also went to night 1 at Giants Stadium. Night two was much better then night one, for two reasons, one, the set-list started off much better, faster then night one and not all new songs. Band seemed more into it also. Also, the sound from where I was sitting was much better then night one, it was incredible. Night one I was in the inner circle, it was awesome to be up close, but night two I was in the stands to the side of the stage, with the speakers in front of me the sound was great.

Highlights of the show for me was Boots, Vertigo ,Until the End of the World and Unknown Caller.

I noticed at the show Bono botched Stay and also thought something went wrong with WTSHNN, reading the reviews now affirmed that for me.

Some minor complaints, the remix version of Crazy is awful. Such a beautiful song that has its beauty stripped out. Bone tries to get the crowd to chant along, that doesn't work at all. Also, not changing the set list for the encore is weak, on last tour one of the great things was the encore was always different.

Awesome show, reaffirmed my faith in U2.
