As much as I remain unimpressed with the current U2 album, this setlist from last night’s show in Berlin looks awfully tasty!
An audience recording of the show is available via Dimeadozen (free registration required.)

Layla,
One way or another, I need to get my ass out to a show!
this stage setup is way too over the top. is it reeeeally necessary?
I've seen them on this tour in Dublin and Chicago and I think the stage, although not necessary, makes for an amazing, multimedia experience. It definitely helped bring the band closer to those out in the stands and the sound system was the best I've heard for a stadium show (having 4 separate speaker systems, one for every 90 degrees, helps.)
As for me, I am a big fan of the new record. Although the middle third is akin to their last two records, the 1st and 3rd sections are excellent and I think Moment of Surrender is their best song since Until the End of the World.
