I've also heard that it seems to be a problem with the stadium design. Obviously none of these stadiums are built for rock concerts. They're football stadiums. It sucks that the sound was bad for you. That, and several other issues, such as the disgraceful traffic situation trying to leave the stadium, are things that people should take up with stadium ownership. I'm planning a second story on the show, this time looking at the dark side of the U2 - Live Nation connection. I've heard about the sound problems in the upper deck from people.

The lightshow blew me away. Incredible!! The accoustics were terrible, though... I am not sure if it's because I was sitting in the very top row of the stadium, or that's just the way it is. Every word echoed. Regardless, this was a once in a lifetime opportunity for me and U2 absolutely rocks. I got some GREAT pics. Excellent write up. Thanks for sharing the song list...we were trying to remember them in order. :D I attended the 9/20/09 event and it was totally awesome. The lightshow blew me away. Incredible!!

The best sound system and a great stage setup made all the difference for this show at this size of a venue. Well done U2, next time though, smaller venues will work also.

Oh, and I bet acoustic Stuck in a Moment was pretty damn cool.

Nice review, Ken.
