"Have you come here to play Jesus?"

"I did"

is a key revision that Bono has been using on One for some time now, and he used it again last night. By inserting I did in lieu of the original line "to the lepers in your head", Bono acknowledges his own Messiah-complex ego that everyone likes to pick at. After getting a glimpse of what he sees every night, you can sort of relate to why his ego has the 32nd largest GDP in the world, ahead of all of Norway and Portugal.

Getting access inside the ringed stage meant we were mere feet from the band when they came around the ramp-which they took advantage of often-and an otherwise perfect sightline of the mainstage, which was no more than 15-20 away from our perch. Amazing. Everyone stood for the whole night, all the way to the rafters. To have that screaming at you must be rather satisfying.

By this point, highlights for me include songs I've never seen before live, Miss Sarajevo in particular (an amazing story behind that song, which I should repeat one day here). Also enjoyable was getting to see up close just exactly how much Adam Clayton was having fun throughout the show. He was often glancing right into our scrum, and at the end gave one comely female fan a mystery gift (hotel room number?) on the way out.

James has some pics.
