When they say 360 tour, they mean it. The stage was massive with a true 360 walkway all the way around it. We had cheap tickets, so we got stuck behind one of the structural poles, but with the walkway and gigantic stage screens, we actually had a pretty good view - and Cory took some killer pictures.
The Black Eyed Peas opened for U2, which we thought was a little weird at first, but I like the Black Eyed Peas, and they did a great job of warming up the crowd in anticipation for the main act. I had no idea the band was so big ... and that Fergie had such killer pipes. They played their most well-known songs, including a few Fergie-only tunes while the boys changed outfits.
The set switch didn't take long, so before we knew it U2 had taken the stage. I love U2's new album, so I was stoked that they opened with three songs off of it. Throughout the rest of the concert, they played new stuff mixed in with the classics - Where the Streets Have No Name, Beautiful Day, One. The platform bridges moved around the stage and Bono and The Edge made their way all the way around. I've got to say that they had killer energy for the entire 3 hours that they played.
I love hearing bands that meet or exceed the expectations we have of them based on their albums. U2 definitely did not disappoint. The crowd was clearly enthusiastic about their performance, and Cory and I had an awesome time. Definitely an evening well spent.Love ballads and hard rock classics,
JoAnna
