Originally posted by LikeASong:That European leg of the 360 tour was a blast. They were top form, Bono was really giving his all after undergoing surgery a few months earlier, and the band seemed to be really into the tour while still retaining many of the 360 tunes that would then disappear when they started turning it into a Achtung Baby/Greatest Hits tour. Some of these gigs are among U2's finest ever (Zurich 2, Brussels 1, San Sebastian, Rome).
My only complaint is that Beautiful Day did NOT work as a pseudo-opener at all, it didn't in bootleg and it didn't when I was there. If only they had gone from Stingray Guitar straight into I Will Follow that would have been a different story!

I wasn't in Turin but next show in Frankfurt. It was really great (good spot, a lot of place around me, Kasabian as open act, new songs, some different songs than last year...). And you're right, Stingray right into IWF would have been blast. Beautiful day ruined it.

These were definitely the most fun shows to follow. Regardless of your thoughts about the quality of the unreleased tunes, nothing was more fun than every show potentially including a song no one had ever heard before.
