U2360° TOUR

Apr 2 2011
Buenos Aires, AR / Estadio Unico de La Plata
with Muse
64



Even before the band arrived on stage tonight, we had a great ovation from another full house when over the PA came a track by Soda Stereo, the Argentinian band led by Gustavo Cerati, now hospitalised in a coma, and to whom Bono paid tribute at the opening show on Thursday.

Even Better Than The Real Thing again signalled the arrival of U2 onstage and what an inspired choice it's turning out to be as a show opener - everyone in the groove from the off. It closed with Edge making his way to the piano which almost certainly meant that New Year's Day was back in the show - and it was, to universal delight. Adam Clayton was introduced for the uninitiated, along with The Edge ('On guitar and everything else...') and Larry Mullen Jr ('On drums and everything else...')

After 'Boots', Until The End of the World jumped forward in the show to fourth track, one of a series of variations tonight: Stuck In A Moment was back and Ultraviolet also made it into the set list. Mysterious Ways went out to Kate Hudson who was at the show and the Saturday night party vibes had descended good and proper by the end of Elevation with the whole stadium chanting 'Ole, Ole.'

'Thanks Muse,' said Bono, taking a breath.' Thanks for taking us out last night.
'Tonight is Saturday night. Nowhere else we'd rather be than Buenos Aires.
'People go strange when they stay here. The Edge likes to dance. And Larry Mullen is dancing - there's something wrong in the world when Larry Mullen is out dancing.'

Another moment that will stay long in the memory was when a beautiful and passionate young woman took the stage to read the last verse of a poem by Violeta Parra, a Chilean Poet, Gracias A La Vida - a poem made famous by the late Argentine singer Merdeces Sosa.

Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto/ Me ha dada la risa, me ha dada el llanto/
Asi uyo distingo dicha de quebranto/ Los dos materiales qu forman mi canto/
Y el canto de ustedes que es el mismo canto/ Y el canto de todos que es me propis canto

('Thank you to life, which has given me so much/It gave me laughter and it gave me longing/
With them I distinguish happiness and pain - / The two materials from which my songs are formed/
And your song, as well, which is the same song./ And everyone's song, which is my very song.)


These were some of our highlights tonight, how about you ? If you were at the show and want to add your own reviews and post your photos, we'd love to see them below.

Stay in Moncton

OMG!
Hi there!. Well I just wanted to say THANK YOUUUU. Thank you for coming. Thank you for sharing this huge showwith us. It was very dificult for me and my boyfriend to get tickets (actually, for all of us!) but we finally managed it and we also managed to be in the first row right outside the inner circle and it was great to have you so close. The sound was absolutely incredible and the whole experience was breathtaking. I must also say THANK YOU for bringing MUSe with you, these guys really know how to rock. I love you both and I hope to see you soon. Thank you for this magnificent memory inside my head :)
Love You All
Thank you so, so, sooooooo much for this beautiful night. It was my first U2 show, and it will remain in my mind FOREVER. I was totally pleased to hearing New Year's Day again, and that acoustic version of Stuck In a Moment. I was about to cry, as we were getting closer to the end of the show. I cannot explain how much I jumped, how much I sang, how much I yelled, how much I danced. It was the best night EVER. Thanks to Bono, The Edge, Adam and Larry... I will never forget the moments I lived there... Love you all!

thank you!!
Thx for that beautiful, beautiful night. The show was magnificent and I loved that you played Ultraviolet. A fantastic show! =)
I cannot thank enough!
One of the best shows I've ever been to! Thank you so much for this amazing night. I wasn't hoping for anything less, and I wasn't expecting such wonderful gig. Again. Thank you. And especially for 'Stuck in a moment', one of my favourite songs. I couldn't believe my ears when you started playing it. The show was flawless, such as Vertigo, back in 2006. I hope to see you soon again!

La Plata, April 2nd
I loved tonight's show! I'm so glad that Bono actually knows the stadium is in the city of La Plata (capital of Buenos Aires province) and not in Buenos Aires city. They played Ultraviolet! I loved every song. I almost cried at the end because of the emotion.

Even better than march 30
Edge playing the guitar in front of me!

I have the pleasure to have been to the two concerts in Estadio Unico La Plata. If the first was pure emotion , the second tonight was strength, vibe and rock and roll.Thanks for the return of New Year`s day and Utraviolet... We`ll never forget U (2)... Best of the best!!
Finally I saw U2!!!
It was stunning! The show was totally great and I would see it a thousand times if I could!

From Bolivia to Buenos Aires
Hey U2...it's been a while since Santiago on the Vertigo Tour, which by far has been the best show ever. Now I think this time, Argentina will be even better....we'll see you next Saturday!!!! Hope you can include STUCK IN A MOMENT...in my humble opinion a perfect song to complete your setlist. Thanks for all the memories in a life time...April 2nd a new one to add! Jorge Dunn

Hey U2!. Can't believe i'm just 5 days away to have one of the most expected and dreamed experiences in my life...meeting you!!!. I'd really want u to play all of my favourite songs, but i know they're on the setlist for sure. It would be a pleasure to hear Electrical storm live, but if it's not the case, being there with you would be the best thing EVER! Love you!

Ive been waiting all my life for see you!!! Well no was possible in Colombia, sad.... a lot fans were waiting x this show. :( .... so ill be there in BA!!!! Im very happy and ready for enjoy all!! Hello from Colombia Claudia :D
Still waiting...
I've been waiting five years just to see you all come back to Argentina. I couldn't go to Vertigo Tour in 2006, cause' i was too young in that moment. But now, I'm more than happy to have the ticket in my hand. I'd love you to play "Acrobat"... Although is a song not played very much in shows, I think it deserves an opportunity, and most of us are really keen on this song... It's lyrics and music are really good! And, I am still waiting for April 2nd...
