2nd Show in Brussels

The  afternoon of second show in Brussels  was expected with torrential rain and thunderstorms  as afternoon turned in to evening and just when it was  going to get to dry out - around about the start of Until The End of the World - the rain returned. And didn't let up all night long.No problem, 60,000 people were soon chorusing 'Singing in the Rain'. 'Thanks for making us feel at home with this Irish weather,' remarked Bono. 'Let's give it up for the U2 crew, the hardest working crew on the planet and not all of them Belgians..'
One legendary crew member got special mention in dispatches tonight, because it was in Cork, 32years ago to this very night that  Joe O'Herlihy first worked the sound desk for U2 - even though they were fifth on the bill.
'He's not really like a sound guy, he's more like a wizard, a sonic sorcerer….'

"Bad" and "Angel of Harlem" made their first appearances in a U2 set list since last summe and there were two new songs after Still Haven't Found (North Star and Mercy).

Let's play a new song,' said Bono, reaching for the harmonica. 'This could be a hit…' Angel of Harlem was an instant hit, followed by Bad, greeted with a Belgian ovation. Pretty soon  all forgotten about the inclement conditions as the music took over all the way to the end when Larry, Adam, Edge and Bono all raised a Belgian glass of beer in toast to this wonderful audience.
