One more thing, I couldn't agree more with Gwynneth (see her review), about the Seattle crowd. U2 deserved more (they certainly got my enthusiasm, my wife would confirm that). The band was great and the unfortunate thing, again, is that Seattle is just too polite a town. I've lived here 9 years but every concert I've been to, it seems like the crowd is reluctant to give it up back to the band. I saw Bowie and Prince both this year in Seattle, same thing. People of Seattle, when you see a rock legend/band perform, they deserve more. It's really ok, no one will care, your neighbors won't see you. The Clash used to be called "The Only Band That Matters" and the Stones have been called "The Greatest Rock n Roll Band", but U2 has surpassed them both. They have surpassed the Beatles also(ok maybe not in terms of musical genius, but 25 years together outstrips the Beatles by far). U2 is still that gritty barebones, let's fight for what we believe in, band. And they give it up every night to their fans, they should expect nothing short of the same in return.
