I just found these originally posted on another forum by NicaMom!

Look at how sweet Bono is, taking Edge's hand.

Thank you NicaMom! Yes, the fan is so lucky and the Irish sky sure is a Beautiful Day! The news report said it had been raining but cleared up, maybe Bono's Dad sending him a gift from Heaven? (tears coming to my eyes)

Where are all the PLEBA girls? Please keep them coming NicaMom! What a special time!

Thanks for posting those! They're great! And look at all the people there- I wonder how early you had to get there to be in the heart.

Concert pics already, fantastic! I love the one of Bono looking down taking the fan's hand! Are there any pics of Bono after he took off his shades yet? I like the new jacket. What a day! Everything they've done sounds amazing. This is too exciting, being able to follow it as it's happening.
I WISH I WAS THERE!!

OK. A fun afternoon from the sounds of it. The notes that go along with the setlist Phil just posted are:

Comments: U2 plays the Slane Festival for the first time since opening for Thin Lizzy 20 years ago. 'A Sort of Homecoming' is an early surprise, and makes its first live appearance since June 27, 1987, when U2 played a homecoming show in Dublin's Croke Park. A snippet of Coldplay's 'Yellow' is included at during Bad. An image of Bob Hewson is shown on the screens during 'One'. U2 leave the stage to fireworks.

Some notes about the notes:

The images of Bob Hewson were outtakes from the One video. I'm told it was a really nice presentation. Bono dedicated the song to his father.

A Sort of Homecoming was the full song, and they sounded in top form for it. Sounded really nice to hear it again after all this time (even if it was over a crappy cell phone). Dancing in the Moonlight was another unexpected treat.

Dreamchaser had people filming everything tonight. Rory said there were cameras going everywhere.

The show ended with the Unforgettable Fire playing over the PA system and fireworks lighting up the sky. [OH, to have been there!]

Expect some video snippets of the whole thing later on tonight after the crew get out of the castle grounds and back to the hotel.

That sky was absolutely breathtaking. And if Dreamchaser was filming, can we expect a "Under a Purple Haze Sky"? video sometime soon? lol

On another note, I'm tearing up just thinking of all the emotion that must've been pouring out from everyone at the show, especially the guys.

Wow.

These are really beautiful - with the purple sky. I really love them!! I can't imagine what it was like there

I would've killed to see the fireworks with the Unforgettable Fire playing .. I love that song

Those are wonderful pics of Slane...thanks to everyone who posted them. I do think Bono looks sullen in that pic of him reaching out to a fan. His eyes look so sad, I don't know how he does it. You have to admire someone like him. God bless him.
