U2 - 360 Tour

360 Tour 2011 (May 21st)

Opening Act: The Fray

Comments:  Great setup but the 50 year old band members have started to age.  Still a lot of energy and amazing that a band can fill an 80,000 football stadium but some of the song choices seemed weak.  Plus the flow was a bit off (perhaps they needed to catch their breaths?).  Anyway was glad to finally see them after a year delay but the hype has gotten to them and maybe they need to get back to the basics.  Bono seemed distant and a little off.  Back to the flow comment, I just felt the songs choices didn't jive all that well especially toward the end when you couldn't tell if they were preparing for the encore, in the encore, or what.  I especially disliked the abrupt ending, come on, finish off with an anthem and make everyone go home happy!  Oh and the poem...here

Comments:  Best show ever for me.  Was seated right next to the stage and could literally spit on Bono has he walked by.  Not one bad song and fabulous setlist.

Popmart Tour 1997 (April 25th)

Comments: Never see a show right out of the gate.  Popmart truly beat the band to a bloody pulp.  Again nosebleed seats and the band seemed disjointed all night (what show plays a song twice because they messed it up?).
