Remarks:
U2 return to their hometown of Dublin and perform indoors for the first time in that city since December 31, 1989. This is the same arena as then, only with a different name (it was formerly known as the Point Depot). Due to the arena's unusually small size and shape, production modifications meant the walkway from the main stage to the "e" stage was not as long and the "e" stage was now centered just below the long video screen. "Raised by Wolves", which is a song having to do with the Talbot Street bombing, one of the four incidents that struck Dublin and Monaghan on May 17, 1974, honored the relatives of the victims who were in attendance at tonight's show. Thin Lizzy's "The Boys Are Back in Town" played over the PA system after the show ended, which was perfectly suitable for U2's return to Dublin in over 6 years.
