CONCERT REVIEW: Did anyone else notice???

Went and saw U2 last night at Giants Stadium. (2nd show of 2 for them.) It was a gorgeous fall night and the crowd electric.

I didn't realize until the 2nd encore just how important the fans were to the show. There are people gushing all over the internets about the show. I've seen them 3 times now and they do know how to put on a show. Do you want to talk about disappointment?

Nothing to do with NJ Transit or Bloomberg's chopper. Not that they played a bunch of tracks off of the new album. (I haven't been remotely inclined to pick up a U2 album since "All That You Can't Leave Behind.") Neither was the exorbitant price of an 80K stadium show. No, it wasn't Bono's dancing -- I've come to appreciate his lack of skills. It happened during their 2nd encore, 2nd song in -- "With or Without You." I noticed that Bono wasn't actually singing!!! He was just speaking the words. WTF? When you generate $9MM for a show, please fucking sing!



Check it out for yourself and let me know what you think.

I went back and listened to 'Mysterious Ways" that I captured on video when I got home and I sort of noticed the same thing. I guess when you have 80,000 fans singing along, no one notices that you in fact are not singing!
