U2, Muse "Magnificent" at FedEx Field

U2's 360 Tour with opening act Muse rocked FedEx Field with its visuals as well as the music

Finally! After waiting 3-4 months after buying tickets, U2's much anticipated 360 Tour hit FedEx Field in Landover, Md. Tuesday, Sept. 29. With a stage 164 feet high and visuals galore, this concert was going to blow anything U2 had ever done away. With each concert comes an even bigger and mind-bending idea which is why they are the greatest band in the world as of this moment.

The concert started off 30 min. late thanks to techincal problems, but at 7:30 the lights went out and Muse was ready to go. Playing most of their hits off their smash album "Black Holes and Revelations" and their latest hit "Uprising," Muse rocked the stadium for 45 packed minutes and took advantage of the video board as they displayed some really slick graphics and displays.

Sharply at 9 p.m., U2 started blasting David Bowie's "Space Oddity" to get the crowd ready. As smoke billowed in, the music got louder and culminated with a giant neon clock counting down to the start. Bono and Co. came on and started with "Breathe" as they have at most stops on the tour. With the bulk of the songs coming from "All That You Can't Leave Behind," "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb," and "No Line on the Horizon," the setlist was a great mix of new and old (although they missed some huge songs like "Pride" and "Sometimes you can't make it on your own.")

The complete setlist included:

1. Breathe

2. Magnificent

3. Get On Your Boots

4. Mysterious Ways

5. I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For

6. Elevation

7. Your Blue Room

Encore 1:

18. One

19. Where The Streets Have No Name

Encore 2:

20. Ultraviolet (Light My Way)

21. With Or Without You

22. Moment of Surrender

All in all, a great concert worth every penny. Rumors are that U2 will be on another tour sometime in the next year with a new album out by the end of this year or early next year. Hopefully it's a lot sooner than 5 years in between visits!
