Just watched a chunk of the show on youtube; i'm still in shock that they actually didn't do ANY joshua tree material. I figured they were going to sneak in at least a song or two... For me, blackout was a highlight (i had been hoping for months that this would open the show with them inside the screen!). Very effective (haunting?) imagery as well. HMTMKMKM i didn't care for. I think the original version goes over much better and I think it's more recognizable to casual fans. Also, not totally jazzed with the cartoon storyline associated with it. Acrobat was good, but the whole Macphisto thing didn't make a ton of sense to me. ZOOTV was my first U2 show so I got the reference, but I'm not sure how many people who aren't hardcore fans did get it. That, and the whole "filter" thing of Macphisto was weird-looking and seemed to not work very well (ie, glitchy). American soul was decent I thought. It seemed to get a fairly good crowd reaction. Lastly, 13 closing the show didn't seem to work well (the bulk of the encore for that matter). I'm willing to bet over 1/2 of the people at these shows think they are hearing SFS (for a second time that night) acoustically.
