Think that would only attract the wrong people

From a dutch news site:

Even the weather helped. During the song When the rain comes the rain fell from the sky

Cause-consequence mixed up, but i guess not everyone knows that U2 always plays those songs when it Rains

They also say there were 80 000 tickets sold. Then or the stadium is veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrry big, or lots of people didnt come because of the weather?

Ufffffff
The organization was terrible, but the concert was beautiful.
I want to apologize to all visitors of our city, for the horror that you experienced... with our "organization". I hate that the number of SWAT and police at the concert. I hate their attitude to the people. I have no words to describe how I feel ashamed in front of foreign guests.

I hope ypu like concert and show and how Russians welcomed U2.
I think set list was classical becoase in our country U2 are not wery popular group....

I very enjoed rain. It was extra special effects. I hope that no one is ill, especially Bono and friends

From Moscow with love, Marina!

Thanks for the report, Marina, glad you enjoyed the concert

And don't worry: people are inteligent enough to see that Moscow is a great city where great people live, despite of the police&army presence and behaviour!

I think they played 12 of the 18 tracks from "18 Singles." Whether we like it or not, looks to be turning into a Greatest Hits tour indeed.

Has Larry been doing that insane drumming at the end of the NYD solo before?

Not based on the Helsinki set. I think it was made clear enough by several people here that U2 settled for a more "classical" setlist especially for the Russian audience.

Setlist was good for the Russians. Since it was their first show there, you cant omit the biggest hits without disappointing a huge part of your audience.

Sure if it was 2-3 nighter for the 20th time in Russia things should have been different.

FUCK RUSSIA! Before the U2 concert the heavy police and military presence shut down tents for Greenpeace, Amnesty International and the One Campaign, claiming they were illegal (!!!!). Bono was informed and perplexed by the action. HOW LONG MUST WE SING THIS SONG!!

Judging a whole country with millions of people because of one small incident nobody knows all the details of.

Also they didnt claim the organisations were illegal, they claimed they didnt have a permit to be there at that moment. However some say their was an agreement, there is not much info available.
