I saw this show. It was to this day the greatest U2 show I've ever seen and the greatest by anyone period. The overwhelming scale and spectacle of the staging was completely matched by the excellent music and the perfect pacing. I had seen a Joshua Tree and the Indoor ZooTV Boston Garden show the past March, but this was a whole new level of excellence and greatness. The flashing TVs of The Fly, Mystery Girl, the belly dancer in Mysterious Ways, the moving cars, the incredible solos of Bullet The Blue Sky descending into Running To Stand Still darkness. The high point was Bono singing a great, soaring So Cruel from the mini-stage in the middle of the field. I was surprised to learn on here that the song has only been performed 4 times in U2 history.
