U2 live at new Meadowlands Stadium July 20, 2011 Review



This was my favorite show of 2011. It was a sold out show on a very hot, over 100 Degrees night and very muggy.

That did not stop Bono from giving another memorable performance in which at one point fainted onstage from the heat.

The show lasted over 2 1/2 hours and went thru a medley of their all time hits and current songs from their latest album.

Bono later confided that he “felt a little faint” at the start of the show.  Then halfway thru the show he actually did for a short moment.
