Well, I have been waiting for this for 4 years. It was just brilliant. That is the only way I can describe it. The highlights of the show was: 40,000 people from all ages that were singing every word from the old stuff to the new, the rain and lightning, Lemon breakdown, the guy climbing the large speakers during "Where the streets have no name" and much, much, more. I didn't think that U2 would play "Bad" but they did, with adding bits like Ruby Tuesday. At the end when Bono started to sing "MLK," he started to cry and had to start the song again, this is because he dedicated this to "Michael Hutchance." When they played one at the end, Bono told everyone to turn the lights off and turn off "Poplight" (Big Screen). So forty thousand people sang with Bono while the rain fell and lighting flashed across the sky. It was a magical moment for everyone in the venue. U2 are truly the best band in the world. Live, they are surreal!
