U2 3D 7.5
Not much to say: either you like U2, or you don’t.
If you like U2, then you’ll like this show: they mostly play the hits, the band performs well, the stage set-up is gigantic and dramatic, and the crowd really seems to be into it. It’s exactly what you’d expect and want.
If you’re not a fan of U2, then you should avoid it: they take no chances, it gets all-too-frequently superficially political, the 3D aspect is a tad superfluous, and the band is blown up bigger than life – inescapably, monstrously big, even!
