Well where do I start?
I was here for the Vertigo Tour,which was absolutely tremendous,but this show was far more elaborate,had elements of the two great '90's tours (Zoo Tv & Popmart),and yet retained the intamicy of an arena show.(Which is quite a feat considering that we were in a 70,000 strong stadium!)
I knew that I was in for a great night when I met Dallas Schoo (The Edge's guitar tech),this guy is like Willie Williams,Mark fisher,Joe O'Herlihy....U2 Royalty!!!
He allowed me to take his pic (above),thanks mate!
I was just in awe of the stage,breath taking!!!
when Bowie's Space Oddity came on my U2 fan-ship went into meltdown.
Rather like the Vertigo Tour,the band simply walked onto the stage.Larry stompted open the show.Just look at the set list below,it has to be one of the best in years....speechless!

Stay,Bad,Unforgettable Fire,Boots,Magnificent,Horizon,40 and then to have the red screens and the white out at the beginning of Streets return after it's break on the last tour was beyond words.
I know it might just be someone throwing a switch,but it is what makes this song live.
I hope there are other U2 fans who know what I am feeling here????
