The show was amazing. I'll give more of a review tomorrow.

Wow, what a fantastic U2 show!

We we're GA about 10 deep dead center on the outside of the elipse, fantastic view and the sound quality was amazing, the best I've ever heard live.

Great set list, perfect mix between old and new. Until the end of the world was the most energetic song of the night with bono running around the stage and the lights going off like laser gun fire.

Bono out front of the stage playing acoustic with edge near the end on yahweh sounded so cool.

Original of the Specicies was one of the best sounding songs of the night, great live song.

What an experience!

U2Girl1978 · 12-05-2005, 09:01 AM

This show as I said was really awesome!

The songs that stood out for me were OOTS, Miss Sarajevo, Bad/40, Fast Cars and UTEOTW. Bono was emotional after Bad. He ran like crazy around the ellipse during UTEOTW. Edge was really getting into it with most of the songs. Adam got lots of loving from Bono.

What a great show!

I agree with U2Girl1978, it was a great show.

3rd time we have seen them this year and it keeps getting better. I splurged for my wife and got us front row in Section 21 a mere 4 feet from elipse.

Nothing was better than seeing Bono (and his razor stubble) sing SYCMIOYO right in front of us!

I thought the setlist was excellent! I really enjoyed the Clash snippet!!!

Crowd I thought was better than the previous shows. Except for the drunk bleep next to us we had a wonderful time.

What else is there really to say when you can leave the show and just shake your head the entire ride home saying I got more than my $worth yet again.

Let's hope it's not 4 years till they are back again!! Fenway in 2006????

This show was my 21st time seeing U2 and I know this is a bold statement because I"ve see U2 in thier supposed "Prime". This may have been the best show I've ever seen. I hope tonight will be even just half as good and I'll be happy. OOTS, Miss Serejavo and Bad/40. I've FINALLY witnessed Bad on this tour. I went to the Patriots/Jets game and I didn't get to my seat until the opening chords of Wake Up - Who's the band that plays that song??? More later...............

U2Girl1978 · 12-05-2005, 10:57 AM

Wake Up-Arcade Fire

I loved the Rock the Casbah snippet after Sunday Bloody Sunday.

Dreadsox · 12-05-2005, 11:49 AM

Santa was very happy standing two deep in front of the Edge. It will be my favorite show for eternity. I cannot imagine it gets any better than last night.

ramblin rose · 12-05-2005, 02:34 PM

Everytime I think U2 can't outdue themselves (ie Miami), they do.

wsslaura · 12-05-2005, 04:23 PM

Going tonight! Can't wait after hearing all these awesome reviews!

an_cat · 12-05-2005, 05:09 PM

I thought nothing could beat my experience in October (front row against the outer rail, AMAZING show!). I was wrong though. Set list wise, last night just blew me away.

I really wish I was going tonight, but hey. 2 days 'til Hartford!

solacevip · 12-05-2005, 05:45 PM

Talk more about what happened during ONE!

an_cat · 12-05-2005, 09:36 PM

I filmed almost 2 minutes of One, the part where everyone was pulled up. I'll be uploading it tomorrow and I'll be happy to share!

Amazing moment, definately one of the best of all three shows I've seen this tour.
