First Show in Mexico

U2360° took off again in Mexico City tonight and that wasn't the only reason to celebrate.

Ok, so it was actually a day after Bono's birthday but that's a minor detail when you have a stadium full of fans who want to serenade you. Edge led the massed chorus of 'Happy Birthday' and Bono explained that he thinks of his own mother on his birthday, particularly so here, coinciding with Mothers Day. Special mention to Ali, the mother of his own children, who has flown in for the show.
"Even Better Real Thing' now established at the top of the show but with Magnificent getting another vibe thanks to some new animation with Archbishop Tutu. Another surprise came in the middle of 'Crazy' (this track knows no limits)  which suddenly metamorphosed into 'Discotheque' while there was a huge response for Zooropa, quietly establishing itself in the mix.
Adam sporting a new bass guitar with vibrant red stripes, was on top form - at one point taking hold of a huge flag that had made its way onto the stage and wrapping it around the rest of the band.
'Hold Me',  was followed by With Or Without You' which led into a special dedication from Bono before the beautiful closer 'Moment of Surrender'.

'We would like to dedicate this to all those who have lost their loved ones in the violence that is happening in this country. It's happening here and it's happening all over the world.
'Mexico needs to know you are not alone and we are with you.. you are not alone in the darkness. Let's make each light brighter...'
