Feel sorry for "roachcraft" for the disappointment he/she felt after Chicago 5, but I could not disagree more. Maybe it's because "roachcraft" saw all 5 shows.  For us, it was the first time since 2011 in Montreal and we were completely blown away by the performance.  And, we felt very, very lucky to get "Gloria," "California," (my favorite on the new album), "Bad," and "40."   The lights are incredible and the design is a major improvement over the 360 tour which was awesome in itself.  Bono sounded great and the guys did not appear to be going through the motions for us.  I will say that it was a late arriving crowd, and older crowd, and Bono had to work a bit more to get some of them into it.  The folks in the row in front of us stayed seated until "Beautiful Day" which worked out great for us visually, but took a bit away from the atmosphere.  The people next to me never stood up and left before the encore.  It's a bit of a shame that the older fans have lost some of there concert going stamina.  As for us - it was a fantastic show that deserves a lot of positive expletives, but I will keep it clean and hope that U2 comes back to No. America (Cleveland?!) for 2016.
