It's the reflection of the tree on the main stage

Great show! This was the best I've ever seen them play all these warhorses. My favorite U2 moments are when it feels like 4 dudes in a room banging the songs out, and this show was 2 hours of exactly that. They really are a tuned in, right group. It's incredible how much space they make these simple parts occupy. It was my favorite band playing my favorite album fantastically. Bonus points for Boner really nailing some of his most iconic and emotional parts - specifically the "Wide Awake!" Refrain in Bad. Wow!

Wow. I am really naive.

Mind. Blown.

[dudeman]

A shadow of the tree!

Thematically they could do a Zoo TV set on the B-stage as the encore on the Joshua Tree they just chopped down

The other members of the band feed off of Bono's energy level....and he needs to give his voice (and body in general) a rest sometimes to perform optimally.

I know he seems superhuman sometimes but he's still a little Irish elf.

I wasn't surprised when this show had some of the best (in places, imo) vocals of the tour as well as very high energy levels (borderline unseen levels during this tour) at times.

Bad was really good, I thought. Bono sounded on point a lot of the time, I think.

Yea, man...he had one of the widest awakes I ever heard! Know what I mean?

[georgemccauley]

Has this been Bono's best show vocally so far?

Overall, IMO, an easy yes.

Dammit. Looks like there's a good recording on Dime but I don't have downloading privelages yet.
