What a rubbish note to start such a huge gig on. They did pretty well on the whole but did have more fluffs than usual that night.

He hits a hi hat instead of a crash cymbal so it’s a wrong thing but he’s in time

Back to the gig and what I can remember from it .
It was a good u2 gig it wasn’t the big Glastonbury moment that I had imagined it to be. Seen u2 16 times and I’d say this gig was the worst one . It wasn’t bad, still better then any other concert other then a u2 one just wasn’t a great u2 gig.
It was red hot , sunshine all day then when the night time came the heavens opened. Never seen rain like it . Ridiculous rain and it definitely effected the gig and the crowd.
Morrisey was on before and was so boring and he was in a foul mood didn’t work well with the crowd
I was right at the front . When ebttrt ends the crowd pans onto a group bouncing up and down, I was in there.
That beginning was awful . It was terrible , 100 times worse then on tv trust me . Then they did the fly and it was unbelievable , sounded great , zoo tv visuals were great and the gig started to become great.
I didn’t even notice the rough streets start there ,
Gig went great up until Stay , love the song but at glasto it just killed the wet crowd . Bono’s voice went really low after that aswell , not sure if there was a technical problem he just went really quite . The pyramid stage has a reputation for bad sound . I was at the front so it must have been poor at the back
Get on your boots shouldn’t have been played either
Streets should have either been an opener which was rumoured or towards the end of the set .
Yeah so like I said it was a good gig not the best u2 gig I’ve been to but still a good one
The next day was sunny all day elbow supported Coldplay , elbow were great sun was shining and Coldplay smashed it to be fair , they were brilliant
