i saw them in April here in Vancouver on the 2nd night. Amazing show! Amazing... 100% worth seeing. It was prob the 2nd best concert ive ever been to. Bboys 1st, U2 #2.... you should definitly see them. Their GA crowd is fairly tame unless you're at the barricade, im sure its a bit crazy on your chest.

If you are big U2 fans, I bet you will have a blast.

I went to one of the Chicago shows because my best friend is the world's biggest U2 fan. They did the hits as well as a few more unexpected things. Bono is obviously older, moved slower, and his voice was pretty rough (they had been on the road a long time before I saw them), but it was a solid show for an arena. I liked the stage and the light show. They are obviously trying to ensure that as many people as possible see and hear them. (It was probably the third best arena show I saw in 2005.)

My friend nearly passed out when Bono came out of the floor at the beginning. It's the closest she's ever been. That was worth the whole deal. :)

I was in the front row of seats next to the circular stage. It was great placement for crowd watching. It seemed to me that the people inside the circle were all kind of drunk and walking around because they could flash their wristbands and come and go. They didn't seem very intense in their fandom. The people in standing on the outside of the ring were more hardcore because they had to stand for ages to get and save their placement. There was more medic action than I usually see. Some of the people standing on the outside of the ring had to be removed before the show was over on account of fainting and whatnot. One massively pregnant woman shouldn't have been in there at all. I was very glad to be in the seats (even though we never sat down).
