My impressions:
The overall show: the band are playing with more energy than I've seen in a long time. Bono sounded really strong - probably better than any previous show I've seen, actually (my first show was early Elevation tour). The early stuff sounds fresh, the old warhorses sound fresh - hell, I even thought Bono did a good job on With or Without You - and that's something I've not been able to say about any of his past performances I've seen. I also feel like there's more of a narrative arc to the show than in previous tours, which is nice. The encore is weird. It feels slapped on, and Still Haven't Found, though performed well, is an awkward closer.
The new material: Miracle was a great opener. Iris didn't quite connect like I hoped it would. Cedarwood Road & Raised By Wolves were great. Dammit, Song for Someone is catchy, despite my resistance. And I might be in the minority, but I think the solo piano version of Every Breaking Wave is lovely - moving, even.
The crowd: we were way up in the nosebleeds. One row down from the last row. The section to our right was energetic. The section to our left was. Our section was pretty lazy. Note to concert goers: once the show starts, you need to get the fuck off of Facebook and stand up like you actually want to be there. Overall impression was the audience was into it and responsive, especially on the older material, but in truth, the lack of enthusiasm in my section was a bit of a downer.
The set list: Honestly couldn't give a rat's ass where this night ranks among the others as far as "setlist quality." U2 were firing on all cylinders and I enjoyed it immensely.
