Saw U2 In Anaheim

One of the things I tell my kids is that "Switchfoot is my favorite band, but U2 is the best." Well that was confirmed a few hours ago as my wife and I saw U2 in Anaheim on our 11th wedding anniversary. The set list is as follows:

Love and Peace
Vertigo
Elevation
Cry/ Electric Co.
An Cat Dubh / Into the Heart
City of Blinding Lights
Beautiful Day
Miracle Drug
Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own
New Year's Day
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Bullet the Blue Sky
Running to Stand Still
Zoo Station
The Fly
Mysterious Ways
Pride in the Name of Love
Where the Streets Have No Name
One
All Because Of You
Yahweh
‘40’

Not inccluded in the set list was a touching tribute for Pope John Paul II.

There are few bigger than life people but Bono is one of them. I've seen U2 before in 1987 and 1992 but just in big stadiums. This time is was a sports arena. As you can see from the set list the U2 guys covered a lot of territory. The only real downer was that I dropped a $35 tee shirt for my wife so it is lost. It's not available online yet so if anyone is seeing U2 soon please let me know if you can help me get her another one.

The reason I'm blogging at this insane hour is that my ears are shot and I can't sleep.

UPDATE: U2 does need to get the sound balanced a bit more. The Edge's guitar was too loud and drowned out a bit of Bono. According to a friend, this was also the case in San Diego.
