I attended the 2nd of 4 shows here in Toronto last night, and while I am always happy to have a chance to see U2 Live, I have to admit that I can do without the many snippets.

The band has a ton of songs that appeal to their gigantic fan base, and I for one would like to hear them play there own stuff rather than hearing Bono belt out Opera Songs (Miss Sarajevo).

I was so excited when I heard that they had played "In a little while" at the 1st concert. It happens to be my favorite U2 song, and was hoping they would play it again tonight......but it was not to be.

I paid $190.00 for my ticket tonight, and this I would rate this concert a 7 out of 10.

There was easily room for another 3 maybe 4 great U2 songs to be played if they had left out all the snippets.

I've never heard my favorite song (In a little while) played Live yet.....other favorite songs that I would have liked to hear are "Angel of Harlem" and "New York".

Anyhow.....I still enjoyed the concert, and hope one day to hear less snippets and more of the sound that makes this band #1.
