U2 Encore:
One, Amazing Grace (lead into) Where the Streets Have No Name, Ultraviolet (Light My Way), With or Without You, (Bono thanks a million people for their contribution to AIDS awareness and anti AIDS drug measures, he then asks everyone to turn on their cell phone lights to turn the stadium into the Milky Way) Moment of Surrender (lyrics)
9 Night Trains:
I agree, I hate the Crazy Tonight live version - brand new singles really should be played as they were recorded (within reason!)
Totally disagree! I love the remix version and it got everyone moving at Giants Stadium.
That's a snippet from Frankie Goes to Hollywood's "Two Tribes" in "I'll Go Crazy...". I noticed it wasn't mentioned in the setlist
Likewise, snippet of "It's Only Rock N Roll" by the Rolling Stones in Vertigo
After "Stand By Me" Bono talks about Bob Hilburn also being present, said "great writer, 70 years old" and praised his new book "Corn Flakes with John Lennon" to which Bono made the Introduction, here it is:

it was 2009 not 2010.
Thanks for all your comments - how does Bono fit it all in!?
I'm sorry, but I'm a huge U2 Fan since the Boy Album and saw 'em live about 5 times, but I've missed the big spirit on the the show, as I'm missing all the well known U2 passion and Rooms of Sound in the new Songs from NLOTH. I've had no problem with the lost Bass-Line on Magnificent, but all the missing harmonies and cut off lines of Bono ...? (For better and to understand, check out the Slane Castle Concert) Since the new album, it seems to me, everything is just about money and big power. I'm sure, it was a stunning party at Bowl, but watching it on Video was disapointing to me.
The show was absolutely amazing. But hundreds of fans weren't able to see the Pasadena Rose Bowl show because of a massive ticket scam via Cragislist, Ebay and Stubhub. Counterfeit Ticketmaster tickets were created and sold, sometimes in person, all over LA County -- usually by someone calling himself Steve Medina at stevetixxx@gmail.com.
LA TV station KTLA did a report on the fraud, and LA Weekly is doing an investigation:

I'm sure Steve will be back for the Anaheim show. So please contact LAPD or me at marpact@gmail.com if you know anything about the guy. We want to stop him before he rips off more fans.
