RTSS was played like in the days when the JT was still standing.

Not having an acoustic set was NO disappointment for this fan! The whole show rocked!!!

Just curious… is “Running To Stand Still” played like on Joshua Tree or like it was performed on ZooTV? I loved the ZooTV version, so I was just curious.

And no acoustic set? That is disappointing.

HUZZAHH!!! Had a call from the wonderfull ALLEGRA from the old zootopia, got to listen to Beautiful Day, so many thanks to her.

The acoustics at the arena are not that great, but I could make out the lyrics and enjoyed it tremendously.

Went to dreamland here in the midwest with U2 and the sound of the crowd in my ears. Cant wait for my turn!!!!

And yes, i have put my order for a t-shirt with my mom and sis, who get to go on 3/30

Well, a very good friend of mine (Andy Tennant)!!!!!was in the egg two rows away from Edge. I was working in the trenches of ESPN and he would call me with reports of songs by holding up the phone. I heard snippets of Bliniding Lights, Electric Co, Into the Heart, New Years Day, Running to Stand Still, Vertigo, Love and Peace. Audio quality was not the best but who freakin cares.

On a wierd side note……Technology is amazing…thanks to M2’s site I was able to buy a T-shirt of my choosing by looking at the pictures, then calling Andy and telling him exactly what I wanted……

What a great night and I wasn’t even there….can’t wait for 5/26 and 12/7

I got a couple calls from my sister at the show..hard to hear it clearly over a cell, but I made out COBL, NYD, and SBS… looking forward to seeing them in San Jose.

I had some family at the show and they called me during the first few songs. What a treat! Loved it! Hearing it, coupled with all the photos from people’s cell phones, Flickr groups, Yahoo and Getty Images and chatting with fellow U2 fans on different threads and chat rooms was the next best thing to being there! Thanks U2!

That was indeed cool. Thanks m2 and AG for sharing that with me! And special thanks to MF for phoning me a bunch of tunes and text messaging the setlist when it happened. What the hell did we do back in the days of Popmart?

I’m totally with you. My wife thinks I’m a complete idiot. She told me she didn’t realize how “into this I was”. I’m not sure how to take that….
As for today, I got absolutely nothing done at work because I was looking for any new news on about 10 different sites. I’m such a geek. I’m going to see them twice next week. I don’t know if I’m going to sleep between now and then……
