I was there, too! Great show. They were so tight. Played the entire 1st CD from The Incident as their first set. I loved the 10 minute countdown timer between sets. Wilson was very gracious. Gavin was unbelievable.
Glad to hear it! I'm going to see them tomorrow night in Charlotte, NC. I Cant Wait!
I don't know why the mean theme under this song is "how technical as musician are U2's members"....but...let me say some things:....first of all: I'm a U2 big fan (at least until zooropa album).....well...larry mullen jr. certainly is not steve copeland, but he keeps the time and he know the perfect rithm for a U2's song.... adam clayton is the worst musician of the band.... but he perfectly play an efficient bass line ad hoc for every song.... the edge is not david gilmour (maybe for effects....) but he invented a completely different way to play guitar and of course to use at best a pedal effect to make stranger a riff (and last but not least... he always had a good taste for the parts).... bono is not pavarotti...not jeff buckley...not frank sinatra....not marvin gaye....not paul mccartney.... but he had (not today) his particular, strong and powerful voice....no technique... only feeling and passion....ok that's the point...U2= only feeling, passion...heart and soul..... is it nothing for you? is it enough for rock and roll men?
I remember an old Muppet show episode where Kermit sings this song and yes, he is wearing the white suit and doing the hand gestures with his flipppers! I would love to see that video again!

Exactly what I was just thinking!!
I would like Bill to play Mark Knopfler's "Going Home" after this song. I think you will hear that they have the same melody.
