Overall, a very entertaining show. This being my first show of the tour I was glad to see that they changed the set list from Sundays show and took out I Will Follow and put in Out of Control and 11 O Clock Tick Tock back to back, however on Out of Control it seemed like the vocals werent keeping pace with the rest of the band. I am sure this is due to the fact that they have only played it about four times on this tour and before that havent played it since 83. Bono's voice seemed to be hurting from a long tour although with the crowd singing to virtually every song you could only tell in certain points of the show. All songs off of new album were excellent with Elevation and Stuck in a Moment the stand outs. The visuals were incredible. Like I have read in so many reviews, Streets is quite an experience live. They were just clicking on all cylinders on that one. New Year's Day was another pleasant surprise. Although I would love to hear them play more material off of Boy, October, War, & Unforgettable Fire, I realize they obviously need to push the newer material along with their hits. Considering that on Pop Mart it would have been unthinkable of them playing Out of Control and 11 O'Clock I guess I should be happy that I got those two. It is just depressing that they ignore their best material. I dont want to come off as being disappointed cause that is far from the truth. Overall good show, hoping Thursday Bono's voice is in better shape.
