Saw them for the first time last night in Philadelphia. Awesome show. The biggest highlight of the evening though was the Boss, Bruce Spingsteen, coming out to sit in on People Get Ready!! Bruce's wife Patti Scialfa came out and sung harmony.
From what everyone was saying on the radio on the way home, they thought this was the best show of the 4 in Philly.

I was there too! It was an awesome show--I saw them twice before on this tour (once in Philly, once in NY) and this was the best of all of them. I was really surprised they sang "Miss Sarajevo" and "Fast Cars"..both were nice surprises. I wish just once in all of the shows I've been too they could do "All I want Is You"...but regardless, great time!

I'm going tomorrow night for the first of the DC shows. I have crappy tickets though. Oh well it should still be a good time since I'm going with a bunch of friends who have never seen U2 before. I just hope it's not like last tour and I pick the wrong night of the two and miss 40 somewhere in all the encores.

I need to find my tickets for november, I just realised I can't locate them that will not be pleasant

Everyone else in the video looks great, but what the hell is up with Adam? His hair wasn't that long even in the mullet years!
