I'm not saying this just because I am a huge U2 fan. As a matter of fact I was at the concert with someone who really only knows the "popular songs" and is just a casual fan that doesn't even own a U2 CD. In his words "Holy shit dude, THE best concert I have ever been too and may ever will". In a review from the Chicago Tribune the next day the author tabbed it "the best stadium concert in nearly two decades". Bono was spot on almost all night, the energy level was crazy and the production was out of this world. You just cant imagine how massive and impressive "the claw" stage is until you see it. Got seats in the nosebleeds? Dont worry, one huge round Jumbo tron gives a 360 live view, not just in real time but also clipped through 10 different cameras that give the effect of a music video. Amazing. The concert, deemed "The 360 Tour" is just that. Two huge bridges rotate giving everyone at the concert, even behind the stage, a view of the band. I have a few clips for you but the below is from a song "Ultraviolet", which most of you probably dont know but it was one of the highlights of the night. Bono came out with a jacket that was lit up, well, ultraviolet and included a steering wheel type microphone hanging from the stage in which Bobno used to fly around on. I cant stress enough that if you are even just a moderate fan you should see them live at least just once. Well worth any price you pay.
