Just got back from the show 
(well, no, in fact, I went for a few pints with friends first 
)
That was awesome, glad everyone was able to enjoy online too
I was right under the balcony, couldn't see all that well of course because it was quite high, but Bono was coming over the rail all the time so it was all good. In fact I kept been scared shit he was going to fall over onto us! The sound was ok given the circumstances, they had put speakers all over the building, including subroofers on the sidewalk
During Boots the sound was not that great (guitar was way too low) but it got progressively better.
During Boots and Magnificient the crowd was not super excited--most people didn't seem to know the songs very well, obviously, but people got really into it during Vertigo and BD, despite being a bit far away from the band. Bono was really doing all he could to reach out to us
Vertigo so kicks ass live, it's a real crowd pleaser, and was perfect for the setting.
About 8 friends of mine showed up after I sent an email around, ranging from one who is a huge fan but had never seen them live, to another who had heard of them but had no particular interest and just followed the group, and everyone in between casual/general public who like the big hits types. Everyone was completely thrilled afterwards, all asking me when is the record coming out and they will all buy it, and even wanting to make plans about seeing them live in Europe this summer! So well done on the promo there boys
This was such a tease from a proper show though! Now I officially cannot wait for the tour
