Another excellents how. nice to see the band changing the position of "All Because Of You", and adding "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses". The second encore of "Vertigo" rankles, as always, and I think Bono is having some difficulty hitting the higher notes after being on tour for three months. A night of major dedications for U2, being Aung Saan Suu Kyi's birthday, "Running To Stand Still" was dedicated to her, and the band added a portion of "Walk On" after "Running".

"Vertigo" featured large portions fo "London Calling" by The Clash, but apart from that it was business as usual. And what a good business it is. Shame then, about the large continent of usual drunk idiots who think it's far more improtant to totter about drunkenly yelling and trying (and failing) to flirt with girls, instead of paying attention to one of the best bands ever, but wasn't it, sadly, always so?
