THIS. There's no way to say which show was "best", as it's such a subjective analysis. That being said, i saw 7 shows this tour, and my favorites are:
2) Dublin 2 (something special happened this night-- perhaps the first night hometown jitters wore off. it started raining during "Unkown Caller" and it was just a beautiful moment)
/QUOTE]
That was an amazing moment
worst - Barca 1. But I can forgive an opening night. But i do know someone who has been to a shedload of shows who thinks it was the best May also have something to do with my expectations being lowered after the first show?
This lol, as soon as One started I was totally lost. It was awesome having bad and UTEOFW ! I actually bought tickets for both Amsterdam's because "if they play Bad here and I am not there I will cry for days"Amsterdam 21/07. Blew my mind away! Having completely NO clue wtf was going on setlist wise was awesome.
I've only seen Chicago 1 and Chicago 2, so....Chicago 2.
But my favourite one has been:
I can't really describe it. It is Boston, so the crowd LOVES U2. And they loved Snow Patrol too, who opened for the last time. Not opening with Breathe. UTEOTW with Melissa onstage (who was excellent). The Boston flag that got onstage during Unknown Caller. The overall performance.
After this concert I just wanted to hug everyone I saw. It was that good.

I went to three shows and Amsterdam2 was by far the best, Gelsenkirchen the "worst", still great but there was a big difference in audience and performance of the band.
Yay! I didn't see you there, but here you go: .
Actually, Cathal has. I want to ask HIM at the end of all this what he thought the best show was. But even then, you're right, it will be heavily influenced by his own experience at each particular show. I've been to shows that others thought were amazing, but because I was really wiped out, or was in proximity of annoying drunkards, the show experience didn't do it for me.
I also hate how this idea of "the BEST show" becomes like a competition, or a way of making others feel inferior, because they missed out on "the most epic show ever of all time", blah, blah, blah....
I gotta say that the Toronto shows were amazing, Toronto 2 especially. But then everybody says that about their home town, no?
I only have only been to two shows..
Toronto 2 had the better crowd in my opinion
Toronto 1..this was good because I got to hear YBR live
And I love Milan both shows even though I wasn't there..but the crowd sounds loud!
It's impossible to say which show this tour has been their best. No one has seen each and every concert. Also, even at the same concert experiences differ due to circumstances (where you end up, who is next to you, how your general mood is that day, what your expectations are).
But my favourite one has been: Boston2

Ditto. I also especially appreciated the tall Dutch gentleman next to me who helped adjust my camera!
