Had a GA ticket and was able to get into the inner circle on Edge's side of the stage. This was my 15th show since the Popmart tour and the 4th show I have seen in Chicago. Pretty standard set though Bad was added last minute. Bono mouthed "BAD" to Edge and Dallas had to scramble to get the guitar. As a matter of fact, it looked like Edge and Dallas had a lot of issues with guitar changes tonight. The energy in Soldier Field was awesome. It was a great show and the band played pretty well for being off for a couple of weeks. Great to hear Unforgettable Fire and Ultraviolet for the 1st time live. It would have been great to hear Your Blue Room-maybe next time! Not a fan of Breathe as an opener. I think Magnificent would work well from the new album. I love Moment of Surrender but it just doesn't work as a closer. The claw and the whole stage show was spectacular. Hope to see a couple shows on the next North American tour next spring/summer.
