U2 played for the first time in Seville, Spain last night at Estadio Olímpico de la Cartuja. North Star and Mercy were back in the set , along with New Year's Day, after a short absence, and the always euphorically received Ultraviolet.
There were about 77,000 people in the stadium, another record breaking. The Spanish audience sang along like their lives depend on it - the sound is particularly crisp, thanks to Mr Joe O'Herlihy entering his 33rd year of service.
Bono reflects that it was here in Spain that they began this tour, way back in June last year, so it's great to be here again. But that's not all...
'There's somebody special here tonight,' he says, 'Who gave me my first guitar lesson. My big brother and it's his birthday tonight and he's come to Seville to celebrate.'
And they all joined in with a deafening chorus of Happy Birthday to Norman, to celebrate. 'Wonderful night, something very special...'
