Show Report
As showtime began, all four members of the band arrived on stage at the same time, picking up their instruments and hitting the ground running by bursting into Magnificent, which took everyone by surprise.
The energy of the band was matched by the energy coming back at them from the Boston audience and you barely noticed as they went straight into No Line On The Horizon.

Your Blue Room returned but this time after Elevation and then leading straight into Beautiful Day.

What a show!
What a pleasant surprise to hear Magnificant as the show starter. I was a little bummed that Breathe was not on the setlist for the night, however. Regardless, the second night in Boston was amazing. I am so happy they played Your Blue Room, Stay and Until the End of the World!!!!

Still on cloud 9
All I can say is amazing! This is the best U2 concert I have ever been to. The stage was incredible and the crowd was crazy into it and the energy that filled the stadium could lift you off the ground. Bono's voice was pure magic and the band was equally as awesome. I have been a fan of U2 since the early days and after this concert I am more in love with their music than ever before. I only wish I could catch another show. IRELAND RULES and I'll love U2 forever!

Come Back!
Went to both shows. Both were unbelievable! They get better and better each time I see them. I hope they add another leg onto the tour and swing by Boston again. Love seeing them outdoors!

Set list?
Went to both shows in Foxboro and have seen them on every tour since 1984's Unforgettable Fire. They always please but I do question the set list. Your Blue Room after Elevation was a downer. Just when the crowd was getting into it, everyone was running for the beer lines. Glad they dumped Breathe. I question Moment of Surrender as the close. Great song- but not for the close of the show. Maybe my issue is that I compare these shows to the other 30 times I have seen them live. I still love them and would go again without question, but really want them to rethink the set list. Thank you boys for another amazing experience.

Great Job Guys, again........
Went to Monday night show at Gillette,haven't missed a tour since the 80's! U2 sounded Incredible! The only Band that I have ever seen live that can duplicate the music they produce on their records!!! Keep up the great work... I hope one day our paths will cross so I can thank You all for the Music personally!! David Bagley-Boston Mass.

Oh my God!
I live in Brazil and flew straight to Boston in May, 2005 to watch the Vertigo Tour at Fleet Center. I was lucky enough to get into the elipse and make it all really worthy. Well, I also met "The Cow" and laughed a lot back then!!! So, waht a surprise to watch the video!!! I became emotional to see him again dancing and supporting the band, it made me remember the whole concert and how I felt so excited about the concert 4 years ago... Nice, really nice... Hope I can also see this tour live here in Brazil or abroad... Ah! I believe Magnificent is a strong start as City of Blinding Lights was, good choice!!!

Excellent
Made both shows at Gillette, what a way to end the summer. Only thing I would have changed as to continue to lead the show out with Breathe, what a great,powerful intorduction into the new material from No Line On the Horizon. The stage is expansive, but this allows so many more people to get close to the band and the action, and truly be a prat of the U2 experience. Great show, keep doing what you're doing, it works, and works well.

Magnificent Boston! Mind Blowing World!
When Larry sat down and the rest of the band followed him straight out on stage we knew something was up. "Boston you wanted this", "So here it is". The energy and passion they bought on stage tonight was intense from get go. Magnificent was just that! And the rest of the set the same. But unlike many times they have played it before Until The End Of the World was a performance that I haven't seen since Zooropa. F#@%ing mind blowing - even with the captain directing his troops to greater things. An intensity that whipped the whole of Gillette into a frenzy of ecstasy. And the euphoria didn't end there. Again! The omission of Pride (in the name of). What next boys? Mofo straight out of Crazy Remix? Or how about Gone into The Unforgettable Fire? Please? POP. the cork once for us on this tour! Some dreams do come true as you've shown us tonight and every night U2 360° lifts off and carries us all to another place in the sound. Words can not express how grateful I am for being in this space and time with you! Thank you!

dissappointed
I love Magnificent and its one of my favorite songs on the new album but i have to say i was dissapointed to see that breath was taken out of the set list. That is one of the songs i looked forward to hearing at this show. Dont get me wrong. I think magnificent was a great show opener but would liked to have seen Breathe in the set too :-(.

Yes! Yes! Yes! MAGNIFICENT!
Since the debut of NLOTH and the announcement of the 30 tour, I spent a lot of time thinking about how I would like to see them open the show, and 'Magnificent' was and is THE song I believe is best suited to this important slot. Reading about the shows in Europe and the first few in NA had me willing to give Larry's opening with 'Breathe' a fair shake, but I'm thrilled to hear that the boys have reordered the opening sequence with 'Magnificent' in the lead. The lyric, the ultra-strong beat and the overall quality of 'Magnificent' make it a much better choice. I'll be up front - or in 360 terms... ??? close to the circle??? - in Dallas in a few weeks, and I'll 'Go Crazy' if they open the show with 'Magnificent'!!!!!!!

Simply Magnificent!
I was 11 back in India, when I first heard Joshua Tree telecast during the Grammy's. For some strange reason I rooted for U2 to win the best album and they did. It is to date my favourite U2 album. Fast forward 22 years, I actually get to watch them live at Gillette last night. Boy! was it amazing to watch them from such close quarters!!! simple fabulous and magnificent!!! I absolutely loved it!!!

I LOVE U2. I'm old enough to remember Boy, and have watched these four men grow into what they are today, representatives of my generation's best. I love how they have always brought a sense of morality to their music. I love how they express themselves, and work on so many levels besides through their music to make the world better (tip of the hat to you). I saw your Boston show last night. My family and I (brought my 11 and 14 year old to their first concert) were sitting up, way up, near the top of the stadium. WHAT A SHOW!! Really. I had a chance to see U2 back in 1984 in Syracuse and always regretted missing that show. Now I can say that I saw U2. And although the show was incredible, the acoustics up there were just awful. The echo across the stadium ruined most of the music. Couldn't understand Bono when he was talking. And the echo was as loud as the music. I talked to friends who sat behind the stage and were blown away by the music. So, I know it was my seat location. Just thought I'd bring this to someone's attention. Waited 25 years to see the World's Greatest Band. I'll DEFINITELY seem them again. But I will be more aware of the seat location. My kids and wife were disappointed too. Tough to explain. I know that even U2 doesn't have control of everything. But they should know about this issue.

Foxboro 9/21
The show was amazing for my first.... We got to within ten of Bono and thats out of this world.......Ultraviolet OMG, never thought I would get to hear that live.. So happy still on a high from last night... Going to the 9/23 show in NJ... and maybe 9/24

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From Magnificent to MOS, the show did not disappoint! The band came out in top form aiming to please and didn't stop until the show was over. As always, they left us wanting more. Thanks again U2!
