Hey y’all

Just saw U2 last night and it was mind-blowing! Have been to see them twice on the Popmart tour and once on the Elevation tour and I have to say that last nights show was one of the best I’ve ever witnessed. I was a bit wary approaching this show as it was early on in the tour and some past reviews I’ve read weren’t too positive, but they stormed it last night. Bono really looked like he was getting into the swing of things again, playing with the crowd and really feeling the music.

There’s seems to be mixed reviews over the inclusion of Zoo Station, but that was the highlight for me, from the initial opening bars it just rocked! Please U2 keep this in the set for the whole tour, it has to be one of the best songs for me and to see it performed live was awesome. It just captivates that era of U2 music.

I have to admit I’m surprised they didn’t play crumbs from your table as I was looking forward to hearing it live, maybe they’ll play it in Europe when I am going to see them again in London.


Yahweh and the early 80’s stuff like An Cat Dubh etc needs to go, I would have liked to see a few more from the 90’s - ‘gone’ from pop, or maybe even ‘dirty day’. I would have gone to heaven if the somehow managed to get in Lady with the Spinning Head and Salome!

All in all though, a great gig and they show no signs of slowing down. Can’t wait for London – bring it on dude!
