U2 at Croke Park last night

Did any of the Word massive go to either of these shows? I was there last night. Really wanted to enjoy it but got fed up with Bono's jaded posturing, the poor acoustics, and a very middle-paced set. It was nice to hear "In a Little While" and "Ultraviolet" but overall was disappointed. They started with four songs from NLOTH, though it felt like they were racing through them to get the songs out of the way. There were random videos from a space station and Desmond Tutu too, although the staging was pretty spectacular.
If you were there what did you think?

Surprise, surprise
I was there
And I quote...
I wasn't there, but my friend Rob was. He writes;
"my perch at croke park was next to the security exit - as bono said farewell to the few in this area, you couldn't help but notice the other band members stood arms folded waiting for him to reach their people carrier.
as I mused to a chum at the time..... one wonders if its a bit like us waiting for a cab at the station after a night on the lash, and the edge is mumbling to the rest... fckn hell why doesn't bono bollocks hurry up? Its leaving off time and he's arsing about waving"
