    Amen. With the exception of NYD and October, pianos have no business tinkling around on U2 songs. And orchestras, don't get me started on orchestras...

    Unless you're talking about that performance of Miss Sarajevo with Pavarotti.
  3. Somehow I managed to chop my original post a bit last night...

    30 + Orchestra and 10 or so choir. Some songs the orchestra simply complimented ( one, aiwiy,) others triggered an interesting re-work (ytbtam).

    Spotted Paul McGuinness, Gavin Friday, Cillian Murphy but didn’t see the rumoured Noel Gallagher

    Ended with 1 hour interview of the band with Cat Deeley

    Spoke (and got autographs) with Bono and The Edge. Bono told me there will be a Scottish gig as part of 2018 tour this time but he couldn’t remember venue!

    First time I’ve ever spoken to any of the band in 30 years of gig attending.

    Wonderful night

    I felt the orchestration was really subtle at times - will be interested to hear how the final mix sounds
