Absolutely stunning show...U2 brought dusted off old classics like "The Unforgettable Fire" and "Ultraviolet (Light My Way)", and revitalized "Where The Streets Have No Name" by teasing out a long intro and bringing back the red screens like back in the day. During "Angel of Harlem", Bono added snippets of "Man in the Mirror" and "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough" as a tribute to Michael Jackson. The band even connected w/astronauts from the International Space Station, supposedly live from Outer Space. But it dragged on too long and was kind of lame. The Desmond Tutu speech was surprisingly cool and a little funny (the Arch's intonation perhaps), inserted as a segue between "Walk On" and "...Streets".
Bono seemed to have lost focus, or lost energy towards the end of the show, and the group as a whole botched "One", and had to re-start it in the middle. "Moment of Surrender" from No Line on the Horizon closed the show.
