U2 ROCKED San Jose! They were awesome. Bono's voice sounded awesome! Bono interactive with the crowd alot,he talked alittle to the crowd, took someones cowboy hat and wore it, took a bandana from someone and wore it for awhile, a girl even got up on stage a dance with him! The EGDE rocked too. They sounded really good.I missed not hearing "I haven't found what I'm looking for" I've been to the Elevation tour (which rocked too) but this crowd was definietly not the same, luckily for us we were by people that never sat down we danced and sang every song!Looking forward to seeing them again at Staples Center in November.Also they have nice U2 mechandise for sale!

This show was absolutely an incredible performance. Of course fans and first timers will always find a rough comment about this show to post. However, U2 did an outstanding job. When U2 ripped into "Electric Co." The Edge did a very aggressive solo version that made the house go wild. I have seen U2 live many times and hearing that song was awesome. Bono did another tribute to the late Pope John Paul II before busting into "Miricale Drug." "Love and Peace" was hot and Bono had alot of energy on that song drumming away at the large tom drum on the far edge of the cat walk. "Bullet the Blue Sky" was played at a slower tempo and The Edge tuned down the usual aggressive solo of the song to a more mellow version. The band did play it slower. "Elevation" was dragged out a couple of verses before the band drove into the song with Bono. I noticed The Edge used an acoustic guitar for songs like, "Love and Peace, The Fly and Yahweh." It sounded great! After Bono picked a girl up from the audience danced with here on stage during "Mysterious Ways," the band waited for Bono after eneding the song, to let the girl back so they could leave the stage for the first encore. While The Edge shrugged his shoulders to Bono, U2 decided to run through the first encore with out a break. They did however break for the last encore. The highlight of the show was when the band played "40" Adam Clayton was so engrossed in making sure he played the notes right with The Edges guitar! As the band slowly left one by one during the performance of "40" proceeding with first Bono, Adam and The Edge. Larry Mullen Jr. just kept playing the drums while the sold out crowd sang, "How long...," He stopped drumming puased and I saw him close his eyes, he looked out to the crowd shock his head. Almost in a state of aww...maybe he was taking a breath and taking it in after so many years since that posting at his old school, Mount Temple he would never dream of a sold out crowd singing while he alone drummed away to "40." Then out of no where he fiercely bagen to drum louder for another minute then Larry dropped his sticks and waved goodbye to the fans and the crowd went wild.
