U2 - part II
Bono proved his greatness as a singer. He recorded “Miss Sarajevo” with Luciano Pavoratti a few years ago. Yesterday, he sang the whole song, including Luciano’s part of the song and did an excellent job of it. I love the energy at U2 concerts. They don’t spend any time between the songs. Mostly, one song fades out and second begins. There is a few seconds delay when they have to change guitars for Edge and Adam.
We liked this concert better than the ‘Popmart’ cocert we saw at Giants Stadium in NJ in 1997. Our seats were better this time and also the music was better. Also, last time, a drunk sitting behind us spilled his whole glass of beer and it was uncomfortable to stand in a pool of beer (YUK!). This time, we had a drunk behind us too, but, he was almost passed out.
Anyway, here is the setlist from yesterday’s concert:
City Of Blinding Lights Vertigo Elevation I Will Follow Gloria The Ocean I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For / In A Little While (snippet) Beautiful Day / Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (snippet) / Blackbird (snippet) Miracle Drug Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own / No Regrets (snippet) Love And Peace Or Else Sunday Bloody Sunday / Get Up Stand Up (snippet) Bullet The Blue Sky Miss Sarajevo Pride (In The Name Of Love) Where The Streets Have No Name One / MLK (snippet)
encore(s): The First Time Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses With Or Without You Crumbs From Your Table Bad / People Have The Power (snippet)
