Performance

Positives:
- Some good, but rare snippets
- Party Girl was hilarious. It's always funny when Bono forgets the lyrics
- I loved this version of Running To Stand Still
- Beautiful Day was above average
- The Fly
- Mysterious Ways
- A great performance of SYCMIOYO. I'm not usually a fan of this live, but for some reason this version stuck out to me.

Negatives:
- Larry's drums drove me nuts! Especially during the songs with "Military" drumming. I first noticed it during LAPOE and SBS. It seemed to calm down for a few songs. But it picked back up with Pride. It sounded like he was drumming with two bricks or two pieces of iron.

- Miracle Drug gave me a headache. I don't think Edge was playing in time. It seems that he was off just a little bit in this performance.

- Boring Setlist. It was better with Beautiful Day though. I don't like Vertigo being linked with stuff from Boy. I would much rather see it linked with stuff from Achtung Baby or ATYCLB.

- All Because Of You should not be played live. It's a good studio song, but when it's played live it sucks.

- Just an average performance of The Electric Co. I think this song got boring or predictable after a while.

Sound

Very clear quality.

Overall

Overall, it was a boring show. But I'm biased because I'm not really fond of 2nd Leg Vertigo. I hate the setlists, especially with Vertigo opening and ending the show. Sure, it gives it that "Retro" feel, but it just doesn't work. I'd much rather see it opening the first Encore. Setlist wise, I prefer the 1st Leg and the last leg. And if they are going to play some old stuff that they haven't played in year's, why not bring some other stuff out of the archives to mix it up? How about 11OCTT or Twilight. Maybe even Stories For Boys?
