One of the defining performances of the historic day, U2 performed two songs, 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' and 'Bad' – the later of which was interspersed with snippets of 'Satellite Of Love', 'Ruby Tuesday', 'Sympathy For The Devil' and 'Walk On The Wild Side'.

for the prices they are charging it is hard to believe they are still in the Red..sic...even with the Redzone Scam they should have been in the black. U2 became their own scalpers with Redzone scheme. oh and what is the point of having sponsors, so you do'nt get into the black .

Maybe they should have got sponsored by iPhone instead of Blackberry...

bignose, funny how you mention their way too high prices. This tour, you could even buy 30$ tickets! There are tickets in every price range. The money generated from the Redzone tickets is going to charity, so it isn't that much of a scam and doesn't make U2 scalpers, does it? Oh and the sponsor, that was to cover the high costs of the development of this whole circus. It isn't quite nothing!

I bought 2 tickets to Wembley, best seats in the house. and it really was worth it-you can see why it costs so much and I'll never forget the spectacle of it all. And it masks that U2 aren't as good a band as everyone thinks wonderfully.
