U2 Concert Setlist Rose Bowl, Pasadena, CA, USA 2009 setlist.fm

Now that I have time to reflect, review and remember the U2 show at The Rose Bowl, here are my thoughts:

For being a concert for the masses, the people seemed to be well behaved. Great positive energy, yet a lot of consuming! What else are you to expect from a U2 concert?

The Rose Bowl was not too bad getting in and out. Only because Preffered parking was obtained and we had to leave midway through that final song, "Moment of Surrender". We normally don't leave under any circumstances, but the baby sitter and work the next day gave us a good excuse. Bono has to understand this!

The show was well rehearsed and went well with out a hitch, except for brief feed-back on one song (truely can't remember which one :-) ). It really helps when you know what songs a band will play. They played almost the same set as Las Vegas and Arizona shows. Thank you Setlistfm.com! This was necessary for the potty breaks, ha ha ha! The first song that grabbed everyone's attention was "I still haven't found what I'm looking for". Great crowd sing along! This led right into "Stand by me" which was just pure magic! The next gem from the Joshua Tree disc was "Where the streets have no name" with Bono belting out " Amazing Grace". Simply said that most none believers were brought to their knees.

The new songs just kicked butt, bottom line. They opened up with "Breathe" and it got the L.A. up and going. The rest of the set didn't display any of the songs from "Boy" or "October". That was really something I (we) really wanted, but oh well. This was to be expected being that the show was being broadcasted on YouTube and had been strictly rehearsed.

The stage was just phenominal...It really looked as if a spaceship landed in Pasadena. How cool was this for the guys in the band that the JPL is just a stones throw away? The feed from the Space Station was really cool, too! The sound was really good for being the Rose Bowl. The gentle echoes seemed to work really well for this show. The lighting was spectacular. Picture that the Rose Bowl for most of the night was highlighted with red lights and dim blue. What a great effect!

Overall, this was a truely EPIC event and we are soooooo glad that we made it. Even better, a DVD should be on the way before Christmas. Until Anahiem in June 2010, guys!
