i watched them last night at arco arena. had premo seats (and paid a premo price).
i must say it was a very enjoyable show.
i really love the edge's guitar style - that "ringing" thing he does is awesome.
bono did a great job entertaining the crowd. he pulled some of his usual moves including pulling up a freaked-out chick, lots of crowd-touching, some minor political ranting, etc. the stage was heart-shaped, with the contest winners etc. being in the center of the heart. bono did a good job walking around the entire set, giving everyone a chance to high-five him, etc.
considering how scratchy his voice is getting, it held together pretty well. it cracked at times, but i doubt anyone noticed or cared.
he was sweating a lot...guess he's not gettin' any younger!
a very poignant moment was near the end, when they played "one" - they posted the names of the victim's of the sept 11th tragedy. quite touching.
they played for about two hours...a very good setlist of old and new songs. they played "i will follow" which totally rocked!
