Performance

---Intro - I'm getting those goosebumps. hell yeah! I love the fact that you get pretty much the entire song on this boot. It gets you in the mood. Love the guy who you can hear yelling "U2! U2! U2!" He's totally taken with anticipation. I remember feeling that way!
---Vertigo - All i have to say is this song is electric! definitely a stadium anthem. crowd participation is unbelievable. Go Germany!
---The Electric Co - man i love this song. i absolutely blew my lid after I saw that they were playing this song at the start of the tour. great return of a classic! edge has a mad solo here.
---Sometimes... - I don't think there was a bad performance of the song the whole tour! so much emotion runs deep in this song. you don't get more personal than Bono introducing this song and dedicating it to his father. It takes a lot to put yourself out there with things like that. Bono carries this song and the audience carries Bono.
---Where The Streets Have No Name - love the "I love you Adam Clayton" part
---The Fly - this one just sounds great!
---With Or Without You - the crowd is the highlight of this track, there's nothing like that feeling you get with thousands of people singing together. I love the placement of this track in the setlist. Perfect!
---Party Girl - special gem
---Vertigo - I definitely like that Vertigo ended this show.

The not so good:
---Beautiful Day isn't so great
---All Because Of You - just don't know what's going on with this song. In my opinion, they haven't matched the performance since the Brooklyn Bridge show.

Overall

It's been a while since I've listened to a 2nd leg boot from this tour. Nice return though. I remember this summer. I would sit in my office here in the States listening to Virgin UK Radio 1 hoping to catch an update from the tour. Great times. Great sounding concert!
