U2 in T.O.

Last night was the first of four U2 shows at the ACC,
and I was lucky enought to go to the show.

It was FANTASTIC!

I have been a U2 fan for decades,
and this was the third concert of theirs that I have seen.

The first was in 1987 for the Joshua Tree,
which was held at Exhibition Stadium.
Our Seat sucked, but the show was good.

The second time was in 1992 for the Zoo TV tour.
That was also held at Exhibition Stadium,
but this time we had the best seats in the house,
and the show was awesome.

The set list for last night was:
(Songs in Red were my favourites)

Vertigo
I Will Follow
The Electric Co.
Elevation
Beautiful Day
In a Little While
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
City of Blinding Lights
Miracle Drug
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
Love and Peace or Else
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Bullet the Blue Sky
Miss Sarajevo
Pride
Where the Streets Have No Name
One - Ol' Man River

Encore(s):

Zoo Station
The Fly
With or Without You
All Because of You
Fast Cars
Yahweh
40

My favourite live song from U2, as always,
was "Where the Streets Have No Name".
Last nights rendition was as good as ever.

During "With or Without You",
Bono pulled a girl out of the audience
and sang to her while hugging her.

Some reviewers and others said that Bono was too political.
I didn't see anything wrong with him expressing his thoughts and views,
as he is an activist,
and always has been.
He was telling everybody to take out their cell phones,
and call Paul Martin to give 0.7% to Africa.
When he asked this, people pulled out their phones,
and there was a sea of blue throughout the ACC.

I just really enjoyed the whole show.
