When in doubt about the why of U2 guitar tunings, go with how good (or bad) Bono's voice is. Playing everything a semitone below the album makes it more easy for him to sing a full night. Apparently lately he seems to think he can handle the original keys better. (for some songs that is)
You are right this tour they been doing a lot of songs in standard tuning his voice has improved significantly in my opinion from the past tours (Popmart and Elevation)
but usually I'm tone deaf I have to play along to be sure but thanks for the tip
