U2 360° Tour, Amsterdam ArenA, The Netherlands

22.07.2009 in Touring! | No comments

Saw U2 for the second time on their 360° Tour in Amsterdam yesterday evening. After quite a stressful drive to the capital of the Netherlands, and the quest for the right train to the Stadium (thanks to the dutch guys who were so kind to help us out) we got there several minutes before the support act. This time it was Snow Patrol who were better received by the audience than the Kaiser Chief’s were in Paris (I guess it’s the French’s fault :-) )

While standing on the stage left side in Paris (close to the outer ring) and having a good view on Adam Clayton, I had seats for the show in Amsterdam. Due to the fact that we were sitting basically under the arena’s ceiling, I had a whole different experience. The visual effects and the looks of the lighting work very differently if you are far from the stage. Not in a bad way, just a different experience.

Still no “Mysterious ways” for me, I hoped they’d play the song, due to the fact that it was the 2nd show day in Amsterdam and it often was on the 2nd setlist for a city … but not this time.
