Hi all,
One night after U2. The best show ever I believe; only waited 23 years for this one. Yes, perhaps better than Radiohead last year, and the three Bob Dylan shows I've seen. Glasvegas did a fantastic job as opening act, despite being incredibly nervous in front of their hometown crowd - as the band told me they would be when I had the chance to hang with/interview them a few weeks back.
Here's what U2 played - I've added some low-quality YouTube links for a few videos I found from the show. Right click to watch them in a new window or tab:
Breathe
No Line On The Horizon
Get On Your Boots
Magnificent
Beautiful Day
Elevation
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For (I actually cried when Edge cut into this)
Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of (Acoustic, with me still crying - very moving)
Unknown Caller
Unforgettable Fire City of Blinding Lights
Vertigo
I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight (Remix)
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Pride (In The Name of Love)
MLK
Walk On
Where The Streets Have No Name
One --------
Ultraviolet With Or Without You (complete with giant spaceship disco ball, and Bono hanging on a mic wire)
Moment of Surrender
Their 360 tour is set to be the highest grossing of all time once it takes over North America next month. Tomorrow night, live at 19:00 UK time, you can listen live to one of their shows from Sheffield, and here for yourself the wonderful sound and rock n' roll anthems from the past 30 years.
That's 12:00 Calgary time, 14:00 Toronto/Montreal. Listen; it will blow your mind, even without seeing the spaceship stage. Funny, the crowd old and young last night responded just as well to U2's new songs as they did the old classics, such as Sunday Bloody Sunday, which shows the band is still relevant after all these years. Unreal. Still smiling.
All the best,
- Daniel C.

I am so happy for you that you were able to see that show!! and mildly jealous of course.
Glasvegas couldn't get you backstage? Enjoy the rest of your trip! Miss you.
I imagine I could have asked, but they had already offered to put me and any friend on their guestlist at any of their Canadian shows in September. Hmm.
I forgot I knew one of the stadium managers at Hampden park as well, and he mentioned a few days after the show he could have got us in for free as well, with free beer and setlists. Stupid on my part. Ohh well.
Ps, come to Montreal this weekend.
Love D
