U2360° TOUR

Jul 8 2011
Montreal, QC, CA / Montreal Hippodrome
with Interpol
47
Another beautiful evening in Montreal tonight, and a festival atmosphere on site all day. With folks hanging out in the 'Fan Jam' area since noon, by the time the band took the stage there were huge chants of 'U2 U2 U2' ringing around the stadium.

'Give me one more chance, and you'll be satisfied. Give me two more chances, you won't be denied...'

After that, nothing was going to go wrong for the people of 'la belle province' - from The Fly to 'Streets', from Mysterious Ways to Moment of Surrender.

To general delight, Bono spent much of the evening speaking French, reflecting on current issues of State and introducing the members of the ancient Irish House of U2.

'Ce soir nous commencons notre tournee royale du Canada... nous sommes les Irlandais royaux.'
Larry he introduced as 'Bonnie Prince William', Adam as Kate Middleton and Edge as the Prince of Wales.

A glorious night reached its benediction as ever with the people's light show. 'Eteins les lumieres Willie voici Moment of Surrender.'

Like a scene from an exotic, magical kingdom, the rain finally started to arrive with serious intent halfway through as the band remained on stage to applaud the people of Montreal. With the wind picking up, everyone got thoroughly drenched.

'U2 killed it tonight.' tweeted @The_Shoe_Freak 'Just an amazing show. And the rain made everything more interesting.'
'Not even the rain could ruin this one.' added @DrewKrawczyk. 'Epic part one of #u2360mtl, can't wait for part two.'

Magic night in Montreal
This was my best ever U2 concert! What a night! Even the rain that began at the end of a verry special concert looks like part of the magic! The band singing "Rain" while the sky was falling on our head was surreal! Thanks to the band for allowing me to live this memorable evening! These souvenirs will remain in my memory and my heart for the rest of my life.

Thank You U2!!!!
Montreal loves U2 and it was apparent by the atmosphere at the Hippodrome the sing alongs were amazing and I believe the lads offered one of their best shows in years. Hope U2 comes back soon after a well deserved rest.

What A show
The song selection was awesome and the stage show was incredible. This was the 5th time that I have seen U2 and it could have been the first, they just blow you away with music lights and performance. Now I would like to know how they got it to rain on cue like that? It ended the show perfectly. On the way out everyone around us where laughing and singing and talking how great the show was. U2 come back soon and have a great show tonight in our City. Thank you from a fan.

Montréal 8 july 2011
The show was just great and I love the "stage and crowd setup"... were ever you were you could see the show with that 360 degree screen over the band. There were good visuals effects. Thank you U2 I had a great evening! :)

shakeup!
I agree with @cwocky, hearing Exit tonight would blow my mind!
cwocky
setlist shakeup
Cmon lads, how about this weekend you really give this setlist a massive shakeup. Maybe one for the occasional fan who likes the beautiful days and elevation, and one for the die hard fan by pulling out some obscure left field stuff. A sort of homecoming, Wire, Exit. Come on lads, break the boundaries
