the lightning doesn't knock out my power or internet :( .

5. I only wish I could crank it. 11pm here and my neighbors would have a cow. I guess
I could drag out the headphones but I hate those things.

high-dollar seats were all they had left for the new Cowboys Stadium here in TX and there no way I was going to pay that much.

I've been trying to see U2 since about 1990 and still haven't managed to do it.

paying to sit in.

7. Is it just me or did they use a crappy audio codec? I hear lots of digital noise.
Hurts the ears a bit even. Not good for music, not good at all.

16. I just rebooted my browser and loaded it again, it sounds better now.
Clearer picture too. Still not what I'd call great, but not as bad as it was.

31. That screen (~1000 screens?) above them is insane. I see now why Bono calls it "the spaceship"
When they started moving from a cylinder into that cone with open space I was totally "WTF!?!??"

44. Just one little quibble
I didn't arrive till 11, so I missed a lot.

There are few things that annoy me as much as any performer who chooses not to sing one of their most popular songs and let the audience do it instead. Hey, Bono, everyone knows the lyrics to "With or Without You," but they paid to hear you sing it.

I'm sorry I evidently missed "One".

45. They would have to pay me to attend any of their shows.
Since that one was 'free' and not 'too' bad overall (their spaceship was something to see... even on very low, crapy resolution), I thank them (and all the people who made that 'free' concert possible to watch around the world).

I understand the probable frustration of many of those who paid for it, though.

47. I know right. That's EXACTLY my thinking on that - with any band. I want to
see the band perform, not listen to some lame audience singing along.

46. It was great! I am looking forward to seeing it again on video.
My SO got me a ticket and said "but you will have to stand". I said "you mean I will have to DANCE!"
All in all a nice evening of traditional Irish music and at a volume I prefer.
