I'm glad I can just enjoy this great show without picking and analyzing it to pieces. I really don't see how any U2 fan could watch this and feel disappointed in this band. But that's just IMO of course.
Well maybe they'll make another DVD later on.
I got it I got it I got it! Am about to watch.
Wait, you only watched half?
I like my sleep. I thought about waiting to watch it all in one sitting, but then decided I wanted to see what I could last night, and catch the rest later. 
And the beginning of ISHFWILF. And first goosebumps moment for me, strangely enough during the Solo of UC. I never had that during the tour. Hm Edge is using his number 2 Les Paul. Edge and his snowglobe. That's very cute, love how he kept that theme during the whole tour! LOVING UTEOTW! Edge hanging his guitar over the bridge, them playing around like the old days bullfight ont eh bridges. Lovin' it!
Gotta love the confusion. And did I spot a Mr. Mullen SMILE there? Gotta love Edge bouncing around the stage. At the finale the crowd does seem to be into it! God, it's still awesome what they did to this song. So bloody epic. It doesn't fully translate to a dvd, but it's still awesome.
So, nobody in Europe knows how to rip vinyl?
Sorry! Finally they didn't turn it down too much.
I got mine on my doorstep yesterday from Amazon and watched it!
Thoughts:
It was too dark. Maybe they asked for mood lighting (cough ..lack of light) to hide their wrinkles? Up close beauty shots of them glowing in blue light were nice.
Surprisingly yes, the crowd seemed very laid back and I got the feeling Bono was trying really hard to get them off their fat asses! HA! That was funny! The Youtube show seemed like the crowd was more in to it, so the editing for me made the lack of energy from them more pronounced. I thought it would be the opposite.
But it was a great show! It seemed like the spirit did not descend on the RB that night.
There wasn't a goosebump moment for me, not even during Streets.
And that song always gets me. Maybe the camera shots needed to be more on the crowd jumping to help convey that spine tingling sensation during the opening ...
??
Also missing for me,,, lack of any fans on stage. Why isn't he dancing with anybody this time around? Or just messing around with people. He seemed removed from the crowd in a weird way. Did anybody notice that? As far as physical contact goes.
This 360 was suppose to make the inter-action with people better but for me it seemed like the crowd was just there and not a part of the show.
Remember how he used to walk out on the barriers and lean over everybody or just reach out and touch hands with fans...
Is the stage too far away this time from the rails? I couldn't tell.
oh no you didn't throw Muse at Wembley under the bus!
Does anyone have a clue what Larry was saying/shouting to Adam during the first verse/chorus of Streets?

) I think people are just predetermined to think American audiences suck, so no matter what they see, they are going to bitch and moan and say they should have shot it in Europe. Whatever. Honestly, any of the "mellowness" had to do with the setlist, there were a lot of mellow songs, and a lot of new songs a casual U2 fan (which you have to assume was at least 50% of the audience in a crowd of 100,000) didn't really know. During the hits and the upbeat songs, the crowd was into it.). Does anyone remember specifically what he said??
The other bummer to me is they cropped off the end - in reality, they stood out there a long time after MOS, the crowd was going bonkers, and Bono said something like "I wish this wasn't the end" (or something else that really concerned me, it almost sounded like U2 was packing it in as a group, he was that emotional, he made it seem like it was the last time we would ever see them perform! Or maybe I was projecting my fears.
I remember him saying that too and I said what did he just say??!
And yeah that was one thing I wished too was that the end didn't cut off after MOS. It was really emotional afterward when they said their goodbyes to the crowd.
It was really odd, he was super emotional, and he really made it seem like they were breaking up or something. My sister and I both were like, "WTF did he just say?!!!" I thought I must have not heard him correctly. Or maybe it was just silly Bono getting emotional. I was really looking forward to seeing it on the DVD, to see what he actually said.
