Poland, Solidarity Movement, the great leader Lech Valesa ...all together made years ago the solid background for one of U2´s biggest songs."New Year´s Day".
"Something important is happening in Poland, and we thank you to be invited to your party!" said Bono.
U2.com has posted:
A spine-tingling night right from the start with a huge and passionate audience. If they weren't in red and white - great planning by the fans here again - they were in U2 shirts or in Music Rising shirts or even, dressed like PopTarts. The opening clutch of tracks suggested this was going to be some night but none of us could have predicted the ovation when New Year's Day arrived. What a response!!
Say it's true, it's true...
And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one.
With the flag of Solidarnosc on stage it felt like all the hopes and dreams of this audience were captured in a song. 'Something going on here. There's something going on in this country,' said Bono. 'We could feel it the last time we came. This country is going somewhere very special. Is it faith? Faith in the future. Poland! Europe needs more countries like Poland...'And we can break through
Though torn in two
We can be one.
We sang Happy Birthday to Edge tonight and it felt like everyone was celebrating a birthday. Was it the best show of the tour to date ? Who can tell?
As many fans said it wasn´t just a "gig", it was a celebration!
