Late to the party. Love the nod to The Saints Are Comming. Well done Martijn! Thanks for keeping track.
Great hear the Mrs enjoyed !! From what you could see .... Best place to stand ???!
5th time seeing the band last night and it was probably the best I've heard them sound. New material sounded strong, Electric Co. and Bullet are huge and UTEOTW is probably the greatest live song I've ever heard. Crowd was excellent aswell (including one very enthusiastic steward) and you could see the band were lifted by it - great night.
Sweetest Thing is a terrible choice though, the arrangement is lazy and it doesnt even go over that well. Considering some of the other songs that have occupied that slot (Two Hearts, Crystal Ballroom, Love Comes to Town) I can't see why the band are so enamoured with it.
I don't think the encore works all that well either - the songs individually sound great but as a collective it doesn't hit the heights of Ultraviolet/Hold Me Thrill Me from 360.
Can't wait to do it all again tonight!
So apparently Bono was singing (live vocals) during The Fly intermission at last night's show. You be the judge.
