'Thirty four years ago yesterday, I got to meet these guys: so it's a birthday of sorts.' said Bono in the first concert in Spain. On 26th September was the 34th anniversary of U2's first meeting in Larry's parents' house in Dublin.
There was a bit of a celebration in San Sebastian , with the 360 debut of Spanish Eyes - written and recorded during the sessions for The Joshua Tree - and another bow for the beautiful 'Mercy', with a shout-out to Terry Lawless ('down in underworld').
'Muchas gracias,' says Bono at the end of With Or Without You. 'Let's do the magic trick one more time, let's take out our phones and turn this place into the Milky Way.'
And with countless phones illuminating the stadium floor and a beautiful moon hanging in the dark sky above, the whole 360 scene in Spain looks pretty amazing.
