I bought tickets back in January for one of the May shows in Boston, but needed to trade on Craig's List due to a medical emergency - I'm finally going tonight

hope you'll have a great time!

Enjoy! The show is INCREDIBLE . Prepare to be dazzled.


Want to hear a full report/review when you get back.

Thanks!

I'll be back tomorrow (can't keep me away from the org too long...)

You're gonna love it!

they're still on tour? I saw them twice here in Amsterdam 5 months ago already!

Have fun!

Yep, started in USA, Europe second leg, now back out to USA third leg, then a final leg of Australia, NZ and Japan next year.

have a blast! you're in for a great time...i saw the show 5 times and loved it each time!

Incredible show! I will post a review later (just starting work, so I should actually do something before spending time on the review). The setlist below, from U2.com (it's great that they post these the day after every show), doesn't do it justice - Bono also threw in Norwegian Wood in addition to Instant Karma, and threw in lyrics from several songs into other tracks - The Hands That Built America, Rock The Casbah, and how about Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) into Beautiful Day?!?! The one Boston loved most was throwing the Red Sox victory song Dirty Water into Vertigo ("I love that dirty water... oh, Boston you're my home!")

Uh oh - you've missed it: last time played live: 2005-11-09: Oakland Arena, Oakland, California - This song has been played at least 329 times live.

and good lawd almighty, they're doing Cry/Electric Co, 40 (!) and even An Cat Dubh!

You'll have to go again and see if they'll do it just for you babe

Cheeky is and ...

Wow, I'm so jealous that they did 'Crumbs From Your Table' in Boston. That was at the top of songs I would've died if they'd played.


Oh well, glad you loved the show. Cant' wait for your review.

Well....
