There are some things in here that might be considered spoilers, so beware...
I've noticed that Bono has been going to the crowd behind the stage a lot more lately. Not only that, but he has been heavily interacting with them.
1. Providence #1, Bono spots a little girl in the lower balcony behind the stage. Larry's drumset was in my way so I couldn't see but this is what I was told happened- first Bono marches off stage, and we were wondering what the heck he was doing. The crowd is cheering and apparently Bono climbed up onto the railing and hung there with his arm slung around the rail. He is singing - I believe it was SBS- (my memory is a bit foggy) and then he says "what's your name?" and asked it again. Then you hear the little girl scream "I love you!" and the crowd erupted. it was great!
2. Providence show #2. During SBS Bono is again facing the crowd behind the stage, making them go wild and the heart also go wild. I saw Bono pointing and counting something on his fingers- apparently this is when he spotted these three woman who were dressed alike in blue jeans and flag shirts. During Pride the girls suddenly appear behind Adam and Bono walks them out to the tip of the heart, singing away. The girls were great, dancing and clapping their hands and just followed Bono to the tip, where he arranged them on the platforms and said "these girls were in the back row and now they are in the front row" or something to that effect, and then Bono left them as he went back to the main stage, although he sung the rest of the song directly to them. They were great, all grooving and smiling- I got some good pics of that.
3. I'm sure something happened from Philly but I'm getting everythign confused all of a sudden.... oh yeah I remember now- again during SBS Bono headed back there, did his usual thing of raising his arms and getting the people going, and marched around again, it looked like he was going to go off the stage and under the balconey, but for some reason he changed his mind and headed up on Edge's side of the heart.
The lights have also been different so far. For instance, during Bad the house lights come up! And the way the spotlights are on Adam and Larry, notably, they shine on the rows behind the stage, creating a wonderful effect of being able to see the fans. I for one enjoy having the lights come up frequently when it's appropriate.
Also, in Montreal Bono pulled up the pregnant woman who had GC seats; not the back of the arena but still outside the heart.
Just goes to show you the best seats are everywhere in the arena! Anyone else notice this, too?
