It was a great show, but i had not-so-great-seats...I thought it was more "in the round" like Def Leppard years ago, but there was a front and a back of the stage.
Amazing stage though, the logistics of setting all that up is mind-boggling.
How did y'all see it?

Great show, especially towards the end. Loved it!

Best show I've ever been to (not that I go to a lot of shows...)
This was my view:

Yup, Amazing show. When I heard they were coming to Commonwealth again I had to get tickets. The Popmart tour in there last times was still one of the top two or three shows I've seen! :thumbsup:

I miss the days when none of those MF had camera phones. Enjoy the show and stop freakin' filming it, for it will be crap quality and sound. Look at those fish in the stage photo. At one point Pearl Jam was going to record all their concerts, sell copies post show. They do this for the audio end (online feed and send a CD a week later), been doing it for years. I guess the video end just died on the board, they had tons of cameras last time I was at their show in 2006. If everyone knew there was a video and audio copy coming after the show, included in the ticket price... maybe the crap cells would be left in pockets?

U2 puts on an awesome live show, even the DVDs (Sloan Castle I have) are great to watch.

Since Bono & the boys are sponsored by Blackberry I'm sure they don't mind if you take crappy pictures with your phone.

In fact they encourage recording their live shows and distributing them amongst fans as long as you don't make money off of it.

I'm trying to find a recording of the show - however "I still haven't found what I'm looking for"... ;)

Great, great show although I thought it was going to start pouring when the stage umbrellas went up.

I still cant believe it took us only 1/2 hr to get back downtown to our hotel. We snuck around the backside of the LRT station, ducked a fence and joined the line.

Someone got some great video of the last song "with or without you"
