After the amazing show from 4-12 � I decided on a whim to ride out the scalpers till the last minute and a drop in prices I managed to get behind the stage � one vantage point I actually wanted to have.

Nothing beats GA, like the previous night, obviously, but still this was fantastic, yet I do think that the previous night was better, even though the setlist was mixed up a bit more the second night: Gloria � the Christmas Theme, the new visuals for Origin of the Species and mixing in Norwegian Wood. Where else would you see Father Christmas Dancing with Elvis? Like Bono said, �it�s the Pantomime � we can�t help it!� Instant Karma was great as well � I could see Larry�s drumtech behind a box happily �air drumming� away.

And finally � after four attempts I got to hear �40� � complete with Instrument switch and the single torchlight. Great.

Finally, I can understand why people want to go to multiple shows. The energy, which came off the stage each night, was absolutely amazing. Thanks U2 for giving us a great soundtrack to our lives.
