A great concert, but what a lack of organization. Starded queing at 8:30 am, barely made it to the inner circle. Had to struggle to find a good spot close to Bono & co.

At my gate, people stood up at 1:45 - i.e. 4 hours before the gates were open. This was utter nonsense. In Sheffield there were police officers making sure all went well, and all went well. In Amsterdam, no officers, but no madness either. When they opened the gate in Paris, people started pushing like crazy. If someone had fainted or slipped, it would have been extremely dangerous. The French should go to Britain, or the Netherlands, and learn. If they care. Or should we wait for an accident to happen before they actually take action?

Never again in Paris, even though I'm half French!

Though of course it was worth it - the concert was awesome, as always. Band, especially Bono and Adam, in top form. North Star sounded great, the reaction to Mercy was at best lukewarm. Great setlist, though I'd have loved to hear MOTD instead of MLK.

Walk on U2 - amazing people, amazing band. Thank you, merci!

I had a blast of a time (just my 3rd u2 show). And i had fun all the way through. Funny I told Remy and Coen during the queue that I Gotta Feeling would be a nice snippet. And it happend to be used

Only 2 lines though

Bono was a bit overly political though. Bit a let down.

Terrible organisation indeed. There were people staying the night who didnt make it to the inner circle. Lots of dangerous pushing at the entrance.

Stade de France, zero points. Never ever

Yeah, I was surprised by the organization, or lack thereof.

I thought Bono made good points - essentially two: human rights - they must be respected; and drugs - they must be made available). I also thought he didn't dwell too much on politics - in contrast, for instance, with the JT tour and the Vertigo tour. It's true he made a remark about the French and human rights, but I think it was quite appropriate - the actual president would like to discriminate immigrants on a racial basis; something we haven't seen in Europe since WW2.

The Get Up Stand Up was a bit too much as well. Anyway it didnt ruin the show for me, just a remark.

Great show! Poor poor organisation. Will mention it lots of times as i hope they will improve it before things go wrong.
