So Last Night I had my First Stadium Concert Experience at the Gillette Stadium in Foxboro MA (1st Night of 2 Sold out Shows), what better band to see with my parents than U2, a band all my family enjoys, it was opened up with a familar band called "snow patrol" it was gonna be MUSE but that didn't happen for our leg of the tour

Let me tell you, if you have seen U2 in concert you know there shows are intense! They have gone from coming out in broad daylight with no stage show and making it epic by just the power of music back on the "Joshua Tree" tour (A show I didn't attend due to my lack of being alive ) to Opening with a David Bowie's "Space Odessy" and coming out on there monster of space ship stage show! Just Watch... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=99aU7vdPswY

Let me tell you about this 40 million dollar "spaceship" stageshow... So first the thing is huge (Like Bigger Than Bono's Ego Huge ), it sets in the middle of the football feild and people surround it in 360 degrees (Hence the tour name) and I swear this thing does everything! Disco Balls, Blinding Lights, Strobe/Flashing Lights, Just Crazy Stuff I can't really describe, to be honest I'm suprised the thing didn't get up and walk away

Heres The Setlist (With Commentary ):

1. "Space Oddessey/Breathe" (Awesom Drum Intro)

2. "No Line On The Horrizon" (Liked This Song off the new album)

3. "Get On Your Boots" (I'm not a fan of this tune)

4. "Magnificent" (Another Good Song off the new album)

5. "Mysterious Ways" (an old favorite of mine)

6. "Beautiful Day" (great song)

7. "Elevation" (Awesome Guitar FX)

8. "I Still Haven't Found What Im Looking For" (Whole Sadium Sang Together, Win!)

9. "Unknown Caller" (Meh, off the new album)

10. "New Years Day" (Freat Song)

11. "Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of" (Another Great Song)

12. "Unforgettable Fire" (Stage Effects Get Awesome Here)

13. "City of Blinding Lights" (Stage Effecs Still Remain Awesome)

14. "Vertigo" (Intense)

15. "I'll Go Crazy If I don't Go Crazy Tonight" (Awesome Version, w/ Bongos! )

16. "Sunday Bloody Sunday" (Awesome Song )

17. "MLK" (Bono gets randomly preachy here)

18. "Walk on" (PREACHY! )

19. "ONE" (Not a Mettalica cover )

20. "Where The Streets Have No Name" (one of my favorites)

ENCORE:

21. "Ultraviolet (Light My Way)" (?)

22. "With or Without You" (should have ended show here)

23. "Moment of Surrender" (Worst Ender Ever)

I only wished MUSE had opened, and they played more of there older songs.... but besides that It's one of the best shows I have ever been to

I'm not really a fan of U2. I'm glad you had a great time, though!

Awesomesauce. I wanted to go and very nearly got tickets for it off ebay. If it weren't for the fact that I was saving for Uni I'd have gone.
