Support - The Hours, Glasvegas
This gig felt so much better than Sheffield in some ways, and not as good in others! Firstly the not so good - the stage was 'cropped' to fit into the stadium even though the roof was open, and it didn't look anywhere near as good as it did in the open space of Don Valley. Other than that though the atmosphere was ace - the band seemed to be on a high because it was the last night of the tour and they were really enjoying the Welsh singing for them! Here's the set list:
Breathe
No Line On The Horizon
Get On Your Boots
Magnificent

encore:
Ultra Violet (Light My Way) - My highlight by far, I could watch Bono singing this all day.
With Or Without You
Moment of Surrender
It took a bit longer than the Sheffield gig for me to get into it tonight but it was ace - loads of positive vibes about being in Wales and the singing was brilliant. I absolutely loved Ultra Violet and I'm so pleased I saw it again, and it was cool to see Bad. I wasn't so fussed about the biggies - Pride, Mysterious Ways, Streets etc, but the overall spectacle was as good as ever.
Went with Alan, Gem and Ste, traffic leaving Cardiff was hideous, it took us nearly three hours just to reach the motorway! Finally got home at 5.30am, Ste is an excellent driver!
