Both nights were amazing. Bono took us to church!  They played the best version of I Will Follow I've ever seen last night. I loved getting Ordinary Love on night 1.  Incredible energy.  So glad I was there!  Can't wait for nights 3 and 4.

Due to real life (AKA my job/work), I couldn't go to these two shows even though I had originally planned to. I watched via Periscope whenever possible and listened on Mixlr the rest of the time. The shows seem to be getting better and better! Is it just me, or does Bono seem to really be connecting more with the audience this tour?

My sister and I went to the July 10th (1st) Boston show. We had the most incredible time! Spent some time @ McGann's prior to and after the show hanging out and having a blast with all the U2 fans who were at the show!
The boys from Dublin made the night so personal. It was an honor and a pleasure to spend some time with these incredible performers!
Thank you U2...YOU ARE ROCK AND ROLL!!

This show was better than the U2360 tour at Gillette. You just can't get the sound in a stadium. This concert was so special. Loved it so much it left me wanting more and more!
Thanks for coming to Boston - we love you!!

I am going to be a bit of a downer and thought the show was good but nothing special.  I do not at all like the new album so 7 songs from that is probably a part of it.  But the whole thing going through Bono's childhood with these poor new songs.....they made their first 3 albums about basically the same thing.  Maybe break some more out of those and cut down the new stuff to 3?  Seemed not as much like a band with so much Bono-centric stuff.  And when they played Even Better in the cage it killed their energy.  U2....in a cage.....  

 

Not a fan of no Bono singing One.  Pride can just go away please.  Very predictable show with the band seemingly going through he motions.  Only during Bad did the band seem to lift out of their doldrums.

 

I know the band is 53-55yo and we are on the downhill slide.  And it is not fair to compare to shows from 83 and the like.  But this was my least favorite show easily.  But a mediocre U2 show is still a good show by any band standards.  

 

Flame suit......engaged!
