[gareth brown]

Haha! JUST the way god intended! What a fantastic setlist!

 

[verte76]

Love is Blindness--what a shock to see that in a setlist! Amazing!

 

[Canadiens1131]

I think this band is headed in the right direction getting off the tour if they're playing Love Is Blindness to close

 

[U2democrat]

Oh to have been there... Excellent setlist!

 

[doctorwho]

I "Fast Cars". I'm so glad U2 play it. I was lucky enough to see them perform the song in Boston last December.

Playing the song reminds me of the JT tour era, where U2 would play some b-sides, like "Spanish Eyes". While "Fast Cars" technically isn't a b-side, it also wasn't included on the album around the globe (unless a special CD was purchased). As such, I really enjoy that U2 play this song and give it the attention it deserves. Sadly, I don't think we'll hear it again after this tour (like "Spanish Eyes"), so best to enjoy it now.

 

[Harry Vest]

You can't lose when "Love Is Blindness" closes the show. Well done guys. Now a little more "Bad" and we're set!!!

 

[Roland of Gilead]

Oh God, I wish I was there.

Oh man, Love is Blindness and All I want is you...

[powerhour24]

Is this the show that was filmed? If so, that's gonna be awesome.

 

[LostAtMoon]

It must have a wonderful show. Fast Cars, All I Want is You and Love Is Blindness all in the same night...

 

[Val]

and it was filmed in 3D!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[The_One1932]

Do we know if love was electric and if edge played the genius that is the solo at the end?

 

[The John Tree]

I don't wanna be the party pooper here, because I love Love Is Blindness. Especially as a closer.

But I always associated the song with Zoo TV. I thought it was perfect for that show, the darker, "futuristic" atmosphere of those shows.

Does it fit in with a more joyous U2 show?

 

[lady luck]

Love Is Blindness closing the show! Man I am in shock. I can't wait to here what it sounds like.

[innocent_eyes]

Awesome!!!!!!

That show would fuckin' ROCK in 2d!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!!!

Fast Cars!!!

All I Want is You!!

Love is Blindness!?!!???!?!?

This show can't be released sooner!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Yahweh_OMG]

Hey guys, I was there, it was fabulous!!!! love is blindness was not played in full, just the first verse with Edge on guitare, same sound as in 1993, but no solo at the end. However, it was more than a snippet, it was exactly like during ZOOTV, but only the first verse...... hope it's clear enough? Wait for the bootleg!

VAMOS CHICOS!!!!!!!!!

 

[Azor]

OMFG
