Still among the best moments of my entire life ✅
And still the most disappointing U2 show overall from the 11 I've seen
But it's good to remember it anyway ☘️

Adam’s bass during the Streets intro rumbling through the pitch underfoot remains a highlight though. Haven’t felt that at a U2 gig before.

Imagine they played the John Lennon version of Stand By Me at that show as the intro and Running with a Dirty Old Town snippet.
Bad with Heroes snippet.
A Sort Of Homecoming added to the set before Bad.
Found with Stand By Me snippet and Without You w/ Shine Like Stars and Follow after Little Things...

The whole 2017 tour was underwhelming (except for Little Things, Exit and maybe south american leg). They didn't even try to hide that they were touring because they had to, not because they wanted to.

Such minor tweaks to elevate a gig to the next level. It’s a compliment to the bands high performance levels that such slight tweaks are what set a show apart but it’s also annoying because it’s all so minor that they should really do it every now and again.
Somebody definitely uploaded the wrong firmware that night. I still watch the videos fondly on YouTube though. The gig is not a memorable one however.

Today should be a super celebration day for me yet it's only the reminder that the first Dublin U2 show I saw was simply underwhelming. When the highlight of the show was something not even related to the music (the jets flying over Croker) something clearly didn't work that night

You could make the case though that they shouldn’t play more than a couple of new songs at any tour as they end up dropping big hitters to accommodate the new songs. As much as on fan sites we generally don’t want to hear a greatest hits set I think a true hits/best of set would be the most crowd pleasing so I’m glad they don’t cater to people too much and do things like finish gigs with little things or 13(there is a light) rather than do the predictable. Little things is one of the best closers they’ve done that I’ve personally witnessed, for my taste anyway, behind only walk on and 40. (Well technically little things wasn’t the closer at Twickenham, don’t look back in anger was but I would have walked out more than happy after little things).
