Bono
sings a bit of two Frank Sinatra songs during 'Until the End of the World' --
Sinatra died 13 years ago today. Just like the prior show, a fan comes on stage
to read a poem by the ancient Mexican poet Nezahualcoyotl before the band plays
Beautiful Day. With both Zooropa and Stay being played tonight, it's the first
show since Dec. 10, 1993 to have multiple songs from the Zooropa album in the
setlist. Mexican President Felipe Calderon is at the show, and live-tweets a
photo from his skybox near the end of the concert.

U2 does a dress rehearsal for what
appeared to be about 500 people, made up of corporate guests and
participants/members of Special Olympics - Colorado. Bono makes a lengthy,
sometimes funny speech during 'Until the End of the World' about the rumors
and reports that tomorrow actually will be the end of the world. There's a
new video that plays after the main set and before 'One,' replacing the
traditional Desmond Tutu clip. Several dozen fans listen to the show outside
the stadium.

U2 returns to the U.S. after last year's
tour was postponed due to Bono's back injury. Bono tells the crowd that his
surgery was a year ago today, and praises the German doctors who took care
of him. With claims of a rapture happening today dominating the news, Bono
plays up the theme a bit during Until The End Of The World. There are a
number of new elements in the show, including a video of Aung San Suu Kyi
that plays in the first encore break before One. All four band members come
out in jackets with flashing lights during City Of Blinding Lights. Rather
than Amazing Grace, Bono sings and plays a bit of Will You Still Love Me
Tomorrow before Streets. Bono dedicates Moment of Surrender to Josh Green, a
local ONE Campaign member who died in 2009.

does a bit of Love Rescue Me in honor of Bob Dylan, who's 70 years old today.
Dylan co-wrote and performed that song on Rattle And Hum. Bono then leads

brings three girls on stage and joins them in reciting a poem about Utah.

The Royal Canadian Air Force does a

Day this time is actually the lyrics to You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet by
Winnipeg's Bachman Turner Overdrive. At the end of the main set, Bono leads
the crowd in singing Happy Birthday for Amnesty International, which is 50
years old this year. Although Moment of Surrender is on the printed setlist,
the show ends after With or Without You.

Brule is at the show as Bono's guest, after Brule picked up a hitchhiking
Bono in Vancouver a day earlier.

A new video debuts before Beautiful Day.
It features astronaut Mark Kelly (Gabby Giffords husband, while he was still
on board the Space Shuttle) holding up a series of word parts that leads
into the song, and then saying 'tell my wife I love her … she knows.' Kelly
then reappears again later in the song on the video screen, and recites the
bridge lyrics ('See the world in green and blue,' etc.) Members of Pearl
Jam, R.E.M and Heart are at the show. Also at the show is one of Aung San
Suu Kyi's sons.

Bono brings a fan from Poland on stage - a guy who flew 20 hours to be at

in attendance include Rick Rubin, Tom Morello, and Cindy Crawford. Before
Moment of Surrender, Bono pays tribute to E Street Band saxophonist Clarence
Clemons, who died earlier today: 'Think about one man's saxophone. Think
about Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. Think of Clarence Clemons.
This man just carried music, and music carried him until this day.' He then
sings/recites some of Jungleland at the end of the concert.

Astronaut Mark Kelly appears on video before Beautiful Day as he's done on
the 360 tour. Bono snippets The Beatles, The Clash and Coldplay. They also
revisit Live Aid, playing Sunday Bloody Sunday and Bad together, and even
Pride next - the song they were supposed to play at Live Aid. U2, especially
Bono, gives this performance everything, and the crowd responds in kind. By
the end, it seems U2 has won the night.

U2 plays Nashville for the first time
since Dec. 1981. Bono sings a bit of The Wanderer with Edge playing quietly
as he sings. It's the first time the song has been sung at a proper U2
concert, and was only performed once before - November 2, 2005, as part of a
TV show taping in an empty Staples Center. At the end of the show, Bono
brings a blind fan on stage who wants to play a song for his wife. The fan
gets Bono's Gretsch 'Irish Falcon' guitar and starts playing All I Want Is
You as Bono sings along. The rest of the band eventually joins in for a
magical moment. When the song is over, Bono gives the fan the guitar to keep.
Carrie Underwood, Michael W. Smith, OneRepublic and many other artists are
at the show.

that song's been sung since December 10, 1993. Bono dedicates Moment of
Surrender to his former personal assistant Greg Carroll, who died 25 years
ago this week. He sings a bit of it at the end of Moment, then strikes a
deal with the crowd to play it in full, saying 'Here's the deal: If we screw
it up really badly, you don't put it on the Internet.' The band then goes on
to play a full version, much to the delight of fans at the show and online.

Patti Scialfa are also there, but rumors of a guest appearance on stage
never come to fruition. Bono dedicates Moment of Surrender to Clarence

The final 360 tour show in the US ends with a bang. First,
Bono brings two fans (Matt and Melissa) on stage during With Or Without You.
He announces that they've been to 60 shows together and invites them to slow
dance on stage during the whole song, which they do tenderly - making an
amazing moment. After Moment of Surrender, the band huddles and U2 plays Bad
for Andy Rowen, whom the song was originally written about in 1984 and who
is at the show tonight. Rowen is brother of Bono's Lypton Village friend
Guggi (Trevor Rowen) and Peter Rowen, who's on the cover of Boy and War.
With a few snippets thrown in, the song runs for almost nine minutes.

Ballad of Springhill' (AKA but incorrectly referred to as Springhill Mining
Disaster sometimes) in honor of the nearby town devastated by an earthquake
in 1958. It's the first time Bono's sung any of that song since 1987. The
show concludes with a full-band version of 40, each member leaving the stage
separately, with Larry last to go. The 360 tour ends as the most successful
tour ever, grossing $736 million on sales of 7.2 million tickets.

Comments:
Bono and the Edge perform at the Clinton Foundation's 10th
anniversary 'A Decade of Difference' event. Early in the show, Bono joins K'Naan
on stage to sing Bulletproof Pride. During the Edge/Bono segment at the end,
they perform A Man And A Woman for the first time, with accompaniment from
Edge's Macbook Pro. Bono changes the end lyrics in Sunday Bloody Sunday to
reference the famine in Somalia. Staring At The Sun is played for the first
time since Oct. 24, 2001, and includes a string section on stage. The
strings remain for One, which also includes the Zoo TV buffaloes video and
Bono ending with singing Happy Birthday to Bill Clinton. Edge plays piano in
Miss Sarajevo.
