I managed to blag a ticket at the 11th hour. Although Edge had a Vox and a Fender onstage. They just looked like props.
The sound was was a little bit off in places, but otherwise they were brilliant. Although I did think at times Edge with a Strat sounded a bit brittle sounding. But otherwise is was a masterclass in how to play a stadium.
Apparently his rig is under the stage and now seems to be about 5 Fractal AXE-FX and a few pedals. I've seen some shots of Fenders and Vox amps miked up too. But I did prefer his tone with the Explorer & Les Paul's tbh.

U2 were fantastic, but as you say at times the sound was pretty shrill. Masters of the art of getting a stadium to rock with you.
Well worth it and really glad we went.

Any highlights? Mine had to be One Tree Hill, but the section from Pride into Streets gave me goosebumps... That screen!
Highlights also included Vertigo and With or Without You and Pride...actually it was all pretty damn good!
I saw Bryran Adams on Friday night and as good as it was you just can't touch U2 for working a large outdoor stage. Bryan was only £35 a pop though
