I'm that Zoo Station advocate (or at least one of them)...I mean...follow up playing the Joshua Tree with the first sounds of 4 lads cutting it down, right? Just too easy.
I repeating myself but I think the encore is flawed because it doesn't fit into the first two parts of the show...pre-JT...JT...and...woman/future? Nothing against women, I think it should just be an encore about their response to JT...in other words, just songs from Achtung, Zooropa, and Pop. (ATYCLB and on were a reaction to those albums...keep em away). You got a solid show there.
ANYWAY. Yes. Zoo Station as encore opener. Big fan of that idea that will never happen...

And it was fantastic. I had never been to a show with video projections like this and it was stunning (sadly the last time I saw U2 was on the original Joshua Tree Tour). More importantly Bono really showed himself to be a master performer. He gets so much shit for his politics and save the world stuff but he can perform and really make a stadium as big and dumb as Fedex Field into a tight community... where I was it felt like the tens of thousands in the stadium hung on every word and note played. It was intense, emotional and a powerful assertion of decency and old fashioned American values (welcoming to immigrants, traditions of struggle - civil rights, women's rights).. The humanity of the music and the videos was really striking.
Joshua Tree was stunning not to mention opening the show on the b stage with some of their best songs (Sunday Bloody Sunday, New Years' Day, Bad, Pride)... Loved Exit, Bullet the Blue Sky was super intense and Running to Stand Still had these quiet moments where the stadium was silent listening to the Edge's keyboard notes. On RHMT -- Adam sitting next to the drum kit like they are in some practice space, Edge on keys.. was great.
So happy I went. the feeling today when I woke up - the buzz.. Excited for more U2 tours. And my wife who thought I was nuts for being so excited for the show and going early to wait out the hot sunny day in the GA line(s) thanked me repeatedly after the show.
