As expected, an outstanding show!

Keane was the opening act. We missed half of the opening act, but I don't think we missed much. U2 went on around 9PM. As expected, a long and outstanding set, with 2 encores (see playlist for details). Highlights included 1) excellent performances of some of the older songs (The Electric Co, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Bullet the Blue Sky, and the wrap-up of the final encore with "40"); 2) a great performance of "Miss Sarajevo" (with Bono himself singing the opera lyrics that were originally sung by Luciano Pavarotti); and 3)what was apparently the first ever accoustic performance of "The First Time".
