U2 - Don Valley Stadium Sheffield – 20 Aug 2009

Two top of the range shows for me this year, and they don’t come much bigger than this!

To put it simply U2 were awesome tonight the imagery from the screen held over the stage by the “crab” was just breath taking. To start with it showed 360 degree images of the band on stage, but as the show progressed the screen expanded down towards the band and started showing more abstract images. The sound was also top notch. I had to keep reminding myself I was at an outside concert it was so good.

The night started with the intro of David Bowie’s Space Oddity and then U2 kicked in with the set list below.
