right on
U2girl, I think this is exactly right. I apologize for repeating my self in some way but the audience really pulled it out at the end. Especially after "All Because of You" gave us one more shot of adrenaline, I personally was looking forward to "40" to go out on a chill note. I think many of the people seated around me (in the back of the Key) were wiped from standing/dancing all night.
When the drum beat revealed itself to be "Vertigo" we came un fucking glued. As, it turns out, did 17,000 of our friends.
It was a spontaneous, ballsy move by the band and the Seattle crowd repaid it with complete euphoria. It was stellar. And my neck is absolutely killing me today. I swear to god I nearly went over the railing in front of my seat.
Trust us, it was why God made live shows.
u2girlcj said:Holy crap, serves me right for posting the set list as soon as I got home.
At least there are some voices of reason here! I sware to you that after seeing both shows, getting my "Bono moment" and Adam Moment(s) in GA on Sunday and breathlessly watching them leave to 40, I still found the ending last night to be fucking awesome. And I wasn't even a Vertigo fan until then.
I don't like to repeat myself from that other thread, but the second version was faster, harder, better, and every damn person was into it. The energy of the show at the end was different than any other U2 show I've been to.
To anyone who complains from afar, I will godamn guarantee you that if you were THERE in the building last night you wouldn't be so upset today.
If you had told me yesterday afternoon that they wouldn't end on 40, I'd be PISSED. But look at me today! I'm so damn elated that I can't even find a smilie to express it!!!!!!!!!
