The three theories/thoughts/comments we've heard are:
1) Bono was really struggling due to the heat
2) They ran out of time
3) 4U2Play said he had a source close to the band who said the plan was never to play all three, but they'd pick one of them, depending on how they felt at the end of MOS.
He changed his shirt at least 4-5 times. There was a point where he was lying on the outer ring on Adam's side for a minute or so. He looked exhausted most of the night, battling the heat. He was dripping from sweat. He left a puddle when he got up.
The weather sucked. It wasn't overly oppressive but I wasn't signing under concert lights running around, etc... I'm surprised they play 26 songs. If they played Bad/"40", this would have been a show for the ages. I think we're lucky we got OOC.
