About: A little about me, I was bitten with the U2 obsession in 1991 with the release of Achtung Baby. Although I’ve known about U2 since the mid 80’s it wasn’t until the AB album that I was hooked. AB was the very first (and only) album that I had ever owned that I played straight through without hating a single song. I truly love every song on that album. Even today that album seems so fresh. My online activities, I'm curator of several U2 related sites: U2exit.com, U2torrents.com, U2fansites.com, and U2radio.com. I've maintained a U2 fan site in some form since the late 1990's.See Authors Posts (2587) on May 29, 2005 in News & Rumors | Comments Off

Remarks:
The final show of the 1st leg is festive and merry. Before ‘Miracle Drug’, Bono talks about the uncertainty of touring and says it was faith in each other and in their fans that made it possible. Two kids are brought on stage during ‘Into The Heart.’ ‘Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses’ is played in full for the first time since 1992. Bono brings a large ‘U2 Day’ proclamation on stage. ‘Party Girl’ and ‘Vertigo’ replace ’40′ at the last minute, and Bono sprays a bottle of champagne over fans in the ellipse during ‘Party Girl.’

Opening Act(s): Kings of Leon
Setlist:
City Of Blinding Lights, Vertigo, Elevation, Gloria, The Ocean, Beautiful Day-Dream On, Miracle Drug, Sometimes You Can’t Make It On Your Own, Love And Peace Or Else, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Bullet The Blue Sky, Running To Stand Still, Pride (In The Name Of Love), Where The Streets Have No Name, One. Encore(s): The Fly, Until The End Of The World, With Or Without You, Out Of Control, All Because Of You, Original Of The Species, Bad-40.
Remarks:
Just before the show begins, a noticeable security detail leads former Vice President Al Gore and wife Tipper to their seats in a prime spot to the side of the stage. Bono sings snippets of two Aerosmith songs as Steven Tyler and his bandmates are in attendance tonight. U2 appears to abandon their setlist during the encores, and Bono plays traffic cop telling the band which songs he wants to do. ‘Out of Control’ is played for the first time this tour and its done spontaneously. The band are going into With Or Without You when Bono calls for Out Of Control. While Edge scrambles for the right guitar, Bono has to yell Adam Clayton’s name multiple times to get his attention. Bono also brings a girl up on stage to dance during ‘Bad’, reminiscent of Live Aid 20 years ago.
