Comments:
Live debut of Window In The Skies. Last performance of Walk On.
This is one of three shows scheduled to make up for the postponed show that was planned to take place on 4 April 2006 at
Yokohama's Nissan Stadium. This is U2's first concert in Japan since March 1998.


Concert review:

Fabulous night at Saitama. Flew down from Hong Kong for this one and the boys did not disappoint.
From the beginning chords of Wake Up- Arcade Fire, the standard build up song before the band takes the stage,
to the last chords of the magical One Tree Hill, the lucky crowd were taken through a back catalogue of some of U2's
finest songs.
The punters that showed up for this one were in good form - polite yet enthusiastic, dedicated yet respectful to others
in the crowd. All that you really want when you are upfront and bopping away with the others.

Bono, ever the front man, led the troops in a soaring rendition of City of Blinding Lights, Vertigo and Elevation before
hitting the old songs hard - wonderful versions of Sunday Bloody Sunday, Bullet the Blue Sky, Miss Sarajevo (with Bono
even singing Pavarotti's italian part which was might impressive) and Bad was also thrown into the mix.
The main set led into 2 full encores of Achtung Baby hits - Fly and MW and then the classic With or Without You.
Coming back for the 2nd, they played their single Saints before closing out again with my 2 favourite U2 songs -
Angel of Harlem and OTH.
I don't think I can say more. Hearing the last song brought goosebumps and then tears to my eyes.
May U2 live forever. It was a night I will never forget.
