I'm from Dublin on a years travelling and flew from Thailand to Taiwan to Tokyo to see this concert. And was it worth it? U had better believe it! This was my 3rd Vertigo tour concert and although I still think Friday 24th June 2005 in Croke Park is the best concert that I will ever go to it was completely unreal! We were literally 10 feet from Edge who rocked Saitama tonight! The best song of the night for me was Out of Control! It was completely unexpected. I thought something like New Years day at number 4 or maybe I will follow but Out of Control I wasn't ready for! Miss Sarajevo was incredible as was Bad which is one of my favourites! Saints and WITS were class and it shows beyond all doubt that these boys will continue to make good, sorry great music for years to come! Bono did not miss a note tonight, he was magic. Second Vertigo was brilliant, they were either gonna do that or 40 but we could hear Bono telling Larry "Vertigo Again!". The Japanese crowd were mental and most of them knew all the lyrics! Bono seemed to connect well with them too. All in all the second best concert I've ever seen and it made me really want to go to Hawaii, but I suppose I'll have to settle for a year in Oz!
