I don't think I have the words to describe this show adequately. It simply blew me away! The small arena meant that U2 could connect with the audience in a way I never thought possible. From the moment the fantastic four came on the stage one-by-one, to the final soul-touching rendition of "walk on" they had upwards of 13000 people riveted. In my opinion, "where the streets have no name" and "stay" were the best performances of the night. And "stay" may truly be the most beautiful song the band has written. Bono's delivery brought out all the heart-felt meaning in the lyrics -- something you would never really get from merely listening to the CD. (not to discount the CD though!) Thank You, U2, for an incredibly moving performance!
