2009-08-20 - Sheffield, England - Don Valley Stadium


setlist

Support act: The Hours, Elbow
Performance notes: U2's first outdoor concert in Sheffield, and their first in the city since 17 June 1992. 300th performance of Beautiful Day. Happy Birthday is sung by Bono, Edge, and the crowd for Willie Williams. A very brief snippet of Gloria is at the end of Streets; it is the first time anything from October appears in any manner at a 360° Tour concert.

Performance

Top Quality Show. The punch that Breathe packs at the start of the boot is enough to kick you in the stomach and wind you breathless. Unofrgettable fire, better than ever: I should know, I was there, and it sounds almost as good on the radio broadcast!

THe energy seriously translates from Don Valley to the rest of Britain, and the conitinent, and the world. From anthems such as where the streets have non name to dug up treasures like ultraviolet light....as fresh and beautiful as ever.


Sound

Perfect balance of bass, guitar, Bono and drums. And they got it just right with the level of crowd noise in the background-best audio of the tour so far-albeit the odd moment here and there when you'll notice the drums sounding a bitsoft and sloppy in the mix,such as the start of (the best ever version of) vertigo.

Audience

Strong. Shame the crowd singing and responce is muffled and unrecognizale for moments like the end of crazy.

Overall

Generally, a worthy partner to a great night at Sheffield: Breathe, the unforgettable fire, crazy tonight, sunday bloody sunday, vertigo, streets, ultraviolet and with or without you....the whole damned thing is crazy good!
