Yeah, the only time I will definitively say I specifically was given attention from the band was when Bono commented (into the mic, you can hear it on the bootleg) on something I did.
I think it's cool they do stuff like that sometimes. But yeah everyone will say "he looked RIGHT AT ME". I've been on stage in front of 20,000+ people and really you can't see much of anything when the lights are on you and everything else is dark. But, sometimes they do b/c they read signs and comment on things people do or have on their sign. Jamila, I'm not sure why that's a bad thing? It just proved how well they actually interact with their audience rather than stare into space or shut their eyes like lots of musicians.
And Otto, thanks again!
