So after a week I figured maybe I should give my review? This is my second time doing this as Firefox failed me the first time, and so has my computer since then. Great.

- So as soon as my Mom and I got into the Rogers Centre we headed straight for the merchandise table. I bought the venue t-shirt , and the new "I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight" t-shirt (the one with the bopping heads); and my mom bought me a key chain. She bought some buttons for some friends and relatives and the "Future Needs A Big Kiss" tee. The women's sizes are extremely small as she had to get an XL and she usually wears a medium or large.
- We found our seats which were just above the Blue Jays dug-out, to the right of home plate. The guys looked a little small on the stage but we could still pick them out.
- I was amazed by the size of the claw. (We had seen it earlier that day from the observation deck of the CN Tower and from the glass floor.)
- Snow Patrol were great openers and even though I would have loved to see BEP (as I have said here a million times) I was not at all disappointed.
- When "Space Oddity" and "Kingdom" started playing I was so excited I could pee! haha
- I was on the fence about "Breathe" as the opener but there was something cool about the build-up. Larry, then Adam, then Edge; they play for a bit and Bono comes storming out. I've had this sone stuck in my head since last Wednesday.
- I loved the next three songs from the new album. "Get On Your Boots" rocked. I called my girlfriend from back home for her to hear and she loved it.
- "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" was absoltely awe inspiring. Bono stopped and we kept singing. I had heard you guys talk about this in other topics but you can't really know what it's like until you are actually there. I have so much more respect for this song now!
- They did indeed do "Elevation" and it made my life. I took a video of this performance and you can hear me loud and clear during the "Woooooooooooooooooooo!" parts...

haha
- "Your Blue Room" was OK. A lot of people around me were wondering what it was though...
- "Unknown Caller" was also quite enjoyable. I really liked the sing-along lyrics flashing across the screen, but not many sang along...
- "Until The End Of The World" was epic. Enough said.
- "Stay (Faraway So Close)!" was so beautiful. The full band version would have been nice, but accustically it was lovely. I also have more respect for this song now.
- Of all the songs played during the tour, I was least looking forward to hearing "The Unforgettable Fire" but because in part of the amazing light show and great performance I really enjoyed this song; and again appreciate this song a lot more.
- "City Of Blinding Lights" is one of my favorites and the performance and light show was amazing.
- "Vertigo" brought down the house.
- "I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight" is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. The video and remix are awesome, and I loved the "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" snippet.
- Not many people had the masks for "MLK"/"Walk On". We did, but I just held it up and decided not to wear it.
- Even though "Elevation" was the one I was dying to hear "Where The Streets Have No Name" had to be the best performance. It was almost divine. I can't even explain the feeling of hearing it; I was almost brought to tears.
- The encore was good. "Ultraviolet (Light My Way)" was awesome. I always liked this one, but I might like it a lot more after seeing it. Plus I totally want a swinging LED microphone and LED jacket of my own!
- "With Or Without You" was better than I expected after reading a lot of negative reviews on here which is nice because I really love this song.
- "Momment Of Surrender" was also good. It was a very cool sight to see when the lights went off and people's cell phones lit up the Rogers Centre.

- Overall I have to say that this was the greatest night of my life. Sadly it went by way too fast. I can't wait to see the guys again and am hoping they announce some more Canadian dates for next year. I honestly thought that besides the given feedback from the PA system, the guys really sounded like they do on a concert DVD. I can't believe the concert was a week ago. I have been listening to "Breathe", "Unknown Caller" and "I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight" (Remix) ever since I got home!

- As I said, feel free to add me on Facebook to see my pics and videos! http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/profile.php?id=502634849&ref=profile
