The boys gave a great performance, they are such professionals, and although Bono gets so much attention, it was really cool watching Edge and Larry do what they do best, with seeming effortlessness. I was, however, very disappointed that they didn't play Miracle Drug. It's such a great song, but they've been dropping it from the set list lately in favor of Original of the Species. Why not play both? They're both strong live, and U2 is promoting Atomic Bomb, so it just doesn't make sense to me. Aside from that, Bono's voice sounded great, he really can hit that long "amore" on Miss Saravejo! Love hearing that song, too! I can't help but feel that this tour has a "greatest hits" vibe going on, though. "Mofo" as a first encore song would really blow the roof off, and "In God's Country" would be a nice fit, too. I know they can't satisfy everyone, so I'll shut up now. Hope to see them in Cleveland again, in what, 2008?
