U2360° TOUR

Sep 3 2010
Athens, GR / Olympic Stadium
with Snow Patrol
157



This is the stadium where the 2004 Olympic Games were held and if the times have changed since those heady days for this country, the venue was packed to the rafters tonight, with the Greek audience generating as much noise as any on the tour to date.

Bono acknowledge that there have been tough financial times here lately before adding, 'Greece is a great country because of the Greeks... Ireland is a great country because of the Irish..'

The place was illuminated like fireworks night during One, not just with phones held high but an ocean of glow-sticks. Looked like someone even set off a flare in the inner circle. The excitement was tangible.

'Incredible people,' announced Bono at the end of a breathtaking performance of 'Streets. 'Incredible place'

Hold Me Thrill Me is back in tonight and by the time we get to With Or Without You, the audience have decided they can sing the song on their own. 'Wow!' exclaims Bono.' We won't forget this'

If you were there, sounds like it was a night that you won't forget either. Add in your own review and upload your photos below. Tell us what moment tonight you will never surrender, what you found in Athens that you never knew you were looking for.

Beautiful Day in Melbourne

Crazy about U2
An incredible show! The best moment was when 90.000 fans were singing a capella a part of "With or without you". I think that this was the best way to show our love and to say "thank you" for an unforgettable night...Two and a half months later i still remeber the magic moments...

ADORE YOU!
I went to their concerts in Washington DC, in Phoenix, and now in Athens. My highlights were Moments of Surrender and Go Crazy Remix. But the greatest moment I'm looking forward to is next June in Anaheim, CA, standing in Red Zone. I wish they can go to Beirut, Lebanon! Thousands of fans are waiting for them there. Greatest and most inspirational band ever!!!

Beautiful day
It was a "Beautiful day" guys. At last the road brought you to Athens the "City of blinding lights".You got up on that stage to sing to us with "Pride" and everything was "Magnificent", the music, the sky, us.Everyone came to see you, even "Miss Sarajevo" was there dancing with your music, moving in "Mysterious ways". Looking at the scene i thought "I'll go crazy if i don't go crazy tonight" and i screamed really loud. I knew that "In a little while" you would have to "Get on your boots" and "Walk on" but that didn't make me sad because i knew that "I will follow" you "Until the end of the world". Have fun, take care and come again!!!!

You help us breathe...
In hard times like these, U2 helped us breathe at the Athens show... The band filled me with happiness, joy and hope. I came from Thessaloniki and especially after playing "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me", "Magnificent" and "With or Without You", my heart was full of thrill and romance... Thank you for being part of my life.. Ariadne Galatou

Athens
A lot of effort has gone into the bands performance and show. Bono’s voice is still very powerful and true. I especially liked the live translation from English to Greek which appeared on the screen as Bono spoke to the audience. Unfortunately for me the show was ruined by the sound balance. U2 are too good a band to hide behind base which must have been 20 – 30 dB louder than the vocals and other instruments. I had travelled to Athens from Crete especially for the concert and I had to leave a couple of numbers early. Once outside the stadium the last two songs sounded much better. I did not miss any of the performance as I could still hear it perfectly a mile away at the railway station. Perhaps this stadium offered particular problems for the sound engineers or perhaps the sound was exactly what the band and sound director wanted, either way I will definitely not be going to another U2 concert. I’ll just have to be satisfied with my CDs
Best show of 2010 Leg
Perhaps this was the best show of 2010 European Leg.
U2 I WILL FOLLOW U FOREVER!!!!
PLEASE COME BACK SOON!!!THE GREEKS LOVE U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!YOU SAW THAT WITH YOUR OWN EYES!!!!

U2/Athens
It was my 3rd U2 show after Paris I, and Paris II last year and without doubt the best! Watching U2 near my neighborhood was a dream that finally came true. The passion of both the band and the audience was unbelievable and the Olympic Stadium of Athens never seemed so beautiful! Even in the Olympic Games of 2004. Thank you Larry, Adam, The Edge, Bono for that great concert. The best concert ever in Greece

One of the most memorable nights of my l
After 1997's concert in Thessaloniki,the biggest band on earth gave us the joy and happiness to see them live in our country again!I was also at the San Siro concert at the 8th July last year,but in comparison to that, group's performance in Athens had more passion and was generally stunning! They gave us a concert to remember forever!God bless U2!

Spectacular !
after San Siro last year, this year in the Olympic Stadium, As usual, U2 set the level sky high to all others to learn from. fantastic production, amazing stage, Bono might be slower than previous years, but that's understood considering his injury, all in all, great fun and thrill through out, Well Done you all.
