Great spontaneity. I expected the newest hits but didn’t know what to expect from the back catalog. Seeing U2 live means that you could see a greatest hits package and never get half of all their hits covered in a typical two hour show. Mix in a handful of songs from a new album (All Because of You, City of Blinding Lights, Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own and Vertigo were expected – Original of the Species and Fast Cars weren’t expected) and a few human jukebox hits like short acapella “Do you Think I’m Sexy”, and the duet with the Edge of “Old Man River” and you wonder what they have to leave out. Well, very little. They played the longest show I have seen in three shows by going about two hours and twenty five minutes.
