This was my 4th show (if you count the L.A. Rehearsal). It was easilly the best played show, but the Rehearsal was still the best of the shows.

There's a serious problem with the floor tickets, and it's called the Lottery. The Bomb Shelter just looks dead. No jumping nothing. I wasn't inside for this show, but I was at others, and there were way too many people in there that didn't know anything from the new album, aside from Vertigo.

I really don't see why the band wants to fill the bomb shelter with people who have no interest in u2 as a creator of new music, but that decision affects me even when I get inside. Whether it blank/bored looks during new songs or loud obnoxious talking during new songs, this policy is bad.

The show itself was good by most standards, but not by U2 standards and faired even worse when compared with most Chicago shows in the past (5/13/01 was worse, however).

The shows got better, but only the last show had it all, a great bombshelter crowd AND a great show (easilly the best that I've seen this tour).
