Performance

Starting an hour later than the scheduled time (as usual), they blasted their way through the set. The crowd was electric, and Bono picked up on it, dragging four people on stage by the end. Not counting Noel Gallagher! As he said, this isn't Monday night, it's Saturday!

Audience

From the moment I came in, I couldn't put my finger on it, but I could tell there was something different about the crowd that night. Which had nothing to do with my seat. There was a new electricity. Maybe more than me had been to the show the night before - I don't know. But the anticipation as we waited.. and waited.. for the show to start was practically unbearable. It was fun actually when the three guys beside me finally got there, and were on tenterhooks trying to figure out where the band would come on. I didn't give the game away - but, at about 8:30, when People Have the Power blared out, and I shot to my feet, directing my gaze pointedly at the e stage - where Bono appears - gee, you'd think that would've given them a hint. Nope, they were still staring at the i stage as he made his grand entrance, between lines of baying fans, phones held aloft for shots.

Best crowd yet. Go London!


Overall

The U2 show rolls on.. Second night in London, and my friend and I (and her husband) were there. Along with a few others..

We left in good time - the restaurants and bars at the O2 open before the main arena. Changed from a fairly crowded District Line to an even more crowded Jubilee Line - no major departure of passengers at London Bridge this time, which meant we had to stand all the way. It was a relief to get off. A busker was performing - not the same one as the night before, and again, not U2..

The queues for merchandising weren't bad, this early, and she got her purchasing done quickly. We met her husband inside, and made our way straight to Water Margin - the Chinese buffet. I really think this is a great option before a show - as the guy standing at the door advertised, "No waiting! No queue!" Unlike all the others. Also, there's a good selection, a fixed price - so you can have as many helpings as you want - and the quality is good. Drinks orders are taken at the table - drinks are priced separately.

We had a good selection, among the three of us - chicken szechuan, which was quite spicy: chicken satay (less so): crispy chicken: two different types of noodles: hash browns: seaweed. I had a whole heap of prawn crackers, which were excellent.. and we went to town on dessert, with lots of tiny helpings of different things. I got the last slice of chocolate cake. :-) I can also recommend the chocolate fudge slices and the lemon cheesecake..

We finished at about 7:20. Now, the scheduled start time for the weekday shows is 7:30.. yeah, right. As mentioned previously, when they were supposed to start at 7, they didn't come on till 7:50. So, we sauntered off in the direction of our entrance, and took our seats. They weren't seated with me, but a few sections away (in the same row, as it happened). They had bought "restricted view" tickets - which meant they were behind the i stage. As I reassured them, for people who are side-on to the vidiwall and can't see it properly, there are smaller screens that give a good close-up of the action - I had a view of one myself, seated at the corner in Barcelona. It's interesting to note, though, that this is the first venue I've been in this year that has been played completely in the round.

Spending £70 more, I had quite an excellent seat. The girl pulled on for Mysterious Ways was Tammy, from Belgium, with the funky hair. And not one, but two, guys were brought on to play guitar for Angel of Harlem - brothers, who'd had a sign up pleading for the band to take them both! Final audience-on-stage moment of the night went to the guy that Bono pulled on for City of Blinding Lights. Again, he gave him his glasses and jacket and waved him into the dark. This time, he took the young lad's jacket - but it didn't fit. And eventually, he got his own things back, explaining that he couldn't keep giving things away - the wardrobe lady had complained she couldn't replace them. Not the cost - she simply couldn't get them!

Famous people in the house included Bono's wife, for the second night in a row, and Bob Geldof. Oh, and Noel Gallagher, who joined them onstage for the last two songs. Best concert yet. I'm expecting great things, later in the week..
