Can't wait!
These pictures, reviews and clips are raising anticipation levels to new heights. Saw U2 live for the first time 24 years ago, and I can never get enough (along with my sisters). Can’t believe it keeps getting better. Great set list, glad to see so many of the new songs, some that I’ve never heard live (Ultraviolet & MLK!!), and the classics… Can’t wait for Toronto shows….thanks U2!

Was from Belgium In Barcelona
Got goosebumps when they entered the stage, a tsunami of new sounds and good rock pop songs covered with real show aspects. U2 like I saw them on Rock Werchter in 1982 Bono climbing into the stage construction, was far away but also near in the sound. Bono’s first in love with Stage&Co from Wijgmaal the village beside Leuven where I live, inspired him and that’s good to know

The Unforgettable Fire
Back home from the opening show in Barcelona...Don't miss them live. And what a superb version of The Unforgettable Fire. That song is an underrated masterpiece and it should be in everyone's heaven.

Show in Milan: sunburst stadium
I'm an italian fan, Angelo Liaci, and I was in the pit near the long walking line. Let me tell you guys that San Siro Stadium and Italian fans had such an anergy, such a strong feeling that the band kept at the intro and at the first songs!! Yeah Milano sexy people...Amazing...i was in Barcellona also and in my fair opinion this show in Milan was the best for the band and for the odience. Incredible singing crowd "one" with the Band. Bono's voice clear and powerful...he enjoyed a lot and it was clear to everybody...after the warm-up they are now ready to burn every stage in every stadium. In Milan there was a big storm in the morning that made us completely wet for hours while we waiting to enter in the stadium...but at the end of the night after this incredible show and his Unforgettable Fire...in this lovely embrace we were totally dry: bones, skin and soul!!! A great family, a great and incerdible long relationship between four guys, their crew, and millions of fans around the world..in the name of music, in the name of love...this is what I call "U2NATION". And, once again, the question is:How long to sing this song?
