Some shows just have something extra going on and tonight in Poland was one of those nights. How could it not be when you hear New Year's Day being in the country which inspired it, all those years ago?

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...'

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? If you were here, it probably was.


Beautiful Day In The Space Station - Seattle

15 hours waiting from 6a.m. Golden Circle just in front of the scene. It was my third U2 gig in Poland and it WAS amazing. White and red stadium, happy birthday for The Edge and Stand by My sung with Bono - priceless. Thank you U2 and all the people in the audience.

Thank You!!!
I couldn't be in Chorzów in 2005, I could be yesterday and it was more that I expected. It was the best night, the best show!!!!! Thank you for all of those emotions I had... it was Magnificent... Thank You for not only music but the message which reminds us how much we People have got to do, how important is our support for the Others... all of those masks... I was deeply touched... I will pray for Birma, Iran and all those People who wants to feel real freedom, I know how it is not to have it.

Beautiful Night!!!
It was my 5th gig on this tour but definitely the best! Maybe it's because I am Polish or maybe because the crowd was hungry for u2 like nowhere else! The FLAG made me cry! I was in Chorzow 4 years ago too, but what we did last night was abosulutely incredible! Thank you for giving me GREAT LIFE! :)

Thank you
Tickets was expensive, but it was worth to pay. U2 is one of the very, very small group of bands that treat fans very seriously and they do everything on the highest level of theirs skill. This event in Chorzów (in Chorzów!!, not in Katowice) was everything: moving, energizing, fun, dynamical, spontanic professional. Thank you very much. I will remember that until my end, maybe even longer. I hope I can meet you in Poland once again. I wish you all the best, and once again: Happy Birthday Dear Edge!
Thank you...
... for the greatest show I've ever seen, for the best party I have ever been invited to. :D I was red ;) and I was proud of my contry - thank you for "The New Year's Day". Come back - soon. :)

Incredible spectacle, when I saw a polish flag on whole stadium and heard a Bono words:" This country is going somewhere very special. Is it faith? Faith in the future. Poland! Europe needs more countries like Poland" I believe that we can do everything with a faith, hope, love and U2 music. THANK YOU U2
