3. Vertigo — the band always played “40″ as the closer but tonight was special

Tonight, for the first time in the tour, the band played “Vertigo” a second time for their closing song! I was waiting for “40″ but this surprise ending was awesome. Bono was a little bit angry at Larry during “Pride/In the name of love” since Larry went ahead to do a drum roll that lifted the song up again instead of keeping it in the down low while Bono was doing his speech about Africa. This forced Bono to sing again… he was still able to do his full speech at the end of the song. Bill Gates’ name flashed during the part where the names of those who text for Africa on the big screens. During “Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own”, Bono got a young boy to walk around the stage with him while he was singing — it was a very touching part of the concert. On the Adam’s side of the stage, one can see a sign language interpreter, interpreting the lyrics of the songs for deaf U2 fans.

The crowd was very LOUD!!!

The KOL seem to have been largely ignored by everyone. It’s a pity, they are a great rock act
