I got mine on my doorstep yesterday from Amazon and watched it!
Thoughts:
It was too dark. Maybe they asked for mood lighting (cough ..lack of light) to hide their wrinkles? Up close beauty shots of them glowing in blue light were nice.
Surprisingly yes, the crowd seemed very laid back and I got the feeling Bono was trying really hard to get them off their fat asses! HA! That was funny! The Youtube show seemed like the crowd was more in to it, so the editing for me made the lack of energy from them more pronounced. I thought it would be the opposite.
But it was a great show! It seemed like the spirit did not descend on the RB that night.
There wasn't a goosebump moment for me, not even during Streets.
And that song always gets me. Maybe the camera shots needed to be more on the crowd jumping to help convey that spine tingling sensation during the opening ...

Also missing for me,,, lack of any fans on stage. Why isn't he dancing with anybody this time around? Or just messing around with people. He seemed removed from the crowd in a weird way. Did anybody notice that? As far as physical contact goes.
This 360 was suppose to make the inter-action with people better but for me it seemed like the crowd was just there and not a part of the show.
Remember how he used to walk out on the barriers and lean over everybody or just reach out and touch hands with fans...
Is the stage too far away this time from the rails? I couldn't tell.
