I was extremely disappointed with the first night at MSG...the sound system (I still have ringing in my ears), song selection, and energy of the audience was horrible. I've been a huge U2 fan for over 22 years and have seen them perform over 20 times. Friday night was the first time I saw them on the Vertigo tour. I blame the failure of the night primarily on the drunk audience (in section 58) who acted like they were in a bar listening to recorded U2...others on their blackberries....others looking like professional photographers who were taking lot of pics of the audience and MSG ceiling (can you say terrorist?). People were very distracting and I was extremely disappointed. I expect a bit more after spending $360 for 2 tickets. I rate this show a 5 on a scale of 10.

P.S.: I went to the following night's gig and was blown away by a great performance and awesome energy pulsating throughout MSG.
