Well why not play one of the 15 other rocked out songs they have written.

probably cos they were confident they could play that without having to rehearse beforehand or that they wouldnt screw it up

One guy that I talked to who was on the other side of the stage said Bono had a chat and said he didn't want to go out with the same last 2 songs.
I have never seen such energy in concert. Not one person I could see ever set down, the sound was perfect!!!
I don't think I shall ever forget...

Even though I was originally hoping for a Yahweh/40 combo (and people were still chanting "40! 40!" at the end), I know it doesn't look good on paper, but when we were there last night, Vertigo (2) was through the roof! The crowd went absolutely insane, Bono and the boys were having a blast, and it was actually one of the highlights of the evening. The energy from the crowd was just through the roof, and the band and lights were going like there was no tomorrow. Again, it seems lame reading the setlist, but I think for anyone who was actually there, it's almost unanimous that Vertigo (2) wasn't bad at all.
The entire show was amazing. I'm still processing it.
(Oh, and if anyone has a recording of this show or any of the songs, could you please e-mail me at melsbud@yahoo.com?)

cmb737 said:Quite a statement about the failure of the presale I think. Every single second show has absolutely gone off, where many of the first shows pale in comparison. I think they understand what is going on, and who is in the building on each night.
