+ really like the setlist, clear themes there and especially the SBS to RBW is cool
+ the band played very tight! (A few mistakes here and there but let's call that ring rust)
+ Sweetest Thing was surprisingly good. I was thinking this might be a nightly slot for these kind of light hearted songs like Tryin to throw... Playboy Mansion and maybe Hawkmoon?
- TERRIBLE crowd from what I can tell from the videos. I hope the band doesn't get too scared about this audience and trust their work!
- No California or Volcano but maybe we'll see them tonight or in San Jose
I can now also see the logical connection of Miracle Drug into Streets in the future shows as Bono spoke about the defeat of HIV and the (RED) campaign being connected firmly with Streets.
How would you rate U2's Innocence and Experience opening night?

I didn't follow or listen to anything 6%
1 star - I think it didn't work 1.5%
