After a blistering start(elevation, b. day, until the end...,n. year's day), the show hit a brick wall with 3 slow songs from the new cd. The edge's guitar work on Kite was cool but why does u2 destroy the momentum built by forcing upon the crowd, blocks of songs from the new ablum? The middle of the opening set(5-6 songs, after new york, new y) the band couldn't rekindle the fire they had from the opening 4 songs. It was cool to hear 11 OCLOCK TICK TOCK, but I thought Sunday B. Sunday didn't have the passion on either night. But the Edge made cool nosies toward the end of the song. DESIRE was done on the tip the heart after Bono introduced his mates but was dragged out. STAY? why? They are better songs on ZOOROPA. The bank rocked after STAY. ALL I WANT IS YOU was intense, WHERE THE STREETS... had cool lights going on during the song, M. Ways was a blistering fun time with small video screens(displying shadowy dancing women) rising up and down behind the band. THE FLY's was awesome. IT sounded fresh and it rocked! Considering the money I spent to both shows($88 plus the insane $10 s. charge), u think the band could have played longer. About 2 hours both nights (this inlcuded all the talking Bono was doing and the band getting off the stage then right back on)
