Your 360° Moment

9 Nov 2009231
They performed for more than two hours playing up to 25 songs ... and every night they changed the set list. Your Blue Room might be in, Until The End of the World might be out. Pride might be in and Desire out. They kept us guessing.

But if you had to choose JUST ONE MOMENT from seeing U2 live in 2009 what would it be ?

Take a look back through the our Tour pages and check out the reviews, photos and videos. Bring it all back... then post your 360 Moment below.

Was it the super-funky rhythms of 'Crazy' with Larry wandering around the stage playing the djemba ?

Or the breathtaking stage choreography stage during Unforgettable Fire ?

The return of Ultraviolet or the latest reinvention of 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' ?

How about Walk On and the appearance of Aung San Suu Kyi on a thousand faces ?

Or the mysterious benediction of 'Moment of Surrender' at the end of the show ?

(We know you probably have loads of highlights, but we're just looking for ONE MOMENT.... and a sentence or two explaining why it was so memorable.)

Ultra Violet's return
One of my two favourite moments was the remix of Crazy. I like it when the band experiments a little. There should more of these moments, just like during Zoo TV and Popmart. My second and most favourite moment was the return of Ultra Violet. I was so happy to hear this one live again after so many years. Just like the return of Zoo Station during the Vertigo Tour. Other suggestions: Even Better Than The Real Thing, One at the beginning of the setlist followed by Until The End Of The World, and So Cruel.
thankyou

please don't leave out moment of surrender, breathe and magnificent. as far as i am concerned they should continue as "must haves" on your future set lists. your new album is AWESOME!! regardless of sales numbers. (I also loved the disco version of I go Crazy if I don't go Crazy Tonight)

Favorite moment
so many great moments, but my favorite was when Bono started singing Amazing Grace and everyone else in the place starts singing along,then hearing the intro to Where the Streets Have No Name. Just beautiful:)

The Defining Moment(s)
I can't believe I'm 55 and have never been to a U2 concert before. How can this have happened? My best moment was when the lights went down in Vegas, followed by the audience singing along with all their hearts and ending with the band hugging each other at the rear of the stage at the end of the concert. Don't get me started on the stage and special effects! Can't wait until June in Anaheim!

Vancouver BC
We were at the Vancouver BC concert and a crazed fan ran up on stage in back of the guys. He was running across a ramp and a security guard tackled him hard! Wham! More security arrived and took him out but it was pretty tense as he wasn't cooperating very well. I was very impressed with the professionalism of the crew, and of course U2...their songs have touched me deeply. This was my first U2 concert. I took my 11 year old son on this big road trip to get passports and then into Canada for the first time. It was a scary, thrilling, amazing trip...so worth the effort. What a great concert!

The Rose Bowl Moment
Bono singing Amazing Grace and 96,000 fans joining in. Talk about goosebumps.

buenos muchachitos!
my favorite moment was bono saying ¨buenos muchachitos¨ before vertigo

Kilgore Trout moment
Yes, yes, the songs, the old ones espcially, everyone singing and crying and all that, but definitely the stage design was the cat's meow. As Kilgore Trout would say, "If this isn't nice, what is?"

Mr. Jefferson
Bono talking to Thomas Jefferson in Charlottesville was definitly a highlight. Way to get the crowd inspired!!!

5 Gigs, 5 Cities, 1 Sublime Moment
5 summer gigs in 5 different 'Crazy for U2' European Cities - Best moment in 25 years of U2 gigs was 'Bad' up front at Croke Park 1 - Wow !!! (and I won €5 from my tour buddy for 'Bad' being played also)

Falling Star over Reliant Stadium
Some one already commented on the fact that there was no denying that the Holy Spirit was among us that night. But it was confirmed when between Magnificent and Mysterious Ways a shooting star flew across the open roof of the stadium. I still get goose bumps thinking about it. The person next to me looked at me to see if I had seen it too. As strangers we hugged and celebrated a celestial event. No better place to do so than at a U2 concert!!!!!

Pinch me, I'm dreaming
Being in the Red Zone in Oklahoma....I have loved this band for 25 years and have seen them many times in concert but never up close like that. It was truly surreal to see the band members walking by 6 ft away from me, producing the music that has been the soundtrack of my life right before my very eyes. Just remembering that feeling brings an irrepressible smile to my face. Oh, and being interviewed for U2.com about my stage hat. That was pretty amazing, too!

Amazing Streets
I will never forget that day, September 23rd, in the old Giants Stadium, Bono singing that beautiful anthem, Amazing Grace, and building it up to Where the Streets Have No Name (pun intended). Wonderful and unforgettable moment

My unforgettable moment of this 360º Tour was to see Larry Mullen Jr get in this stage, walking slowly and givin the welcome to the 90.000 people who was in this magnificent opening night in Barcelona. I think the show of Seville could be even better than the Barcelona's one!

One
Atlanta was the first time my two teenage daughters and I had ever seen U2. We were in the pit and having a blast jumping up and down, dancing and waving our sign during the whole show. Then they played One. All three of us, a world class musician, a gay rights activist and a single mom Red Cross worker, were spellbound. We just stood there transfixed by what we were experiencing. We sang along and held each other and cried at the beauty of the communal experience. I have never felt anything so powerful in my life and I am happy beyond measure that I got to experience it with my daughters.

Bono's Red Light Suit
Says it all really - weird beams of red light whirling slowly out of the smoke, what the **** am I seeing? It's Bono... wearing a suit of mirrors?! No, it's a suit of red lights... the single most haunting and mysteriously beautiful image from the show for me - a brilliant piece of theatre in amongst the music, and totally suited to the intro to Ultraviolet.

Walk On
We've been struggling quite a bit with the economy. We've been looking for some form of security for almost a year now. It's been the most psychologically difficult, heartbreaking trial of my life. We were fortunate enough to go to the concert in Glendale, AZ, and when U2 rang out the truth that is Walk On, I felt it to the depths of my heart. I remember thinking very clearly in that beautiful moment, "We just have to keep going." I'm walking on!

Edge cracked a smile
We spent 12 hours camping in line with the most amazing people surrounding us known as u2 fans in for the Glendale, AZ concert. It was an almost unbearably freezing experience waiting in line. A man I'd never met before in front of us offered me his blanket after saying, "You look freezing. Here. We're not using this." After he did that, several others followed suit as they offered blankets, jackets, and reading material as we all waited for our favorite band. It's the U2 effect. The band cares for people; it's fans care for people. Waiting in line all day meant we were right up against the stage and literally ten feet away from Edge. He had such a contemplative face the entire concert, but once when he looked right at me, I'm sure my face was full of pure joy singing along, and he cracked a smile!

Barcelona
I was at the opening night of 360. For me, CRAZY was the moment the whole stadium went into meltdown. I have never felt like that before, not even at the raves in the early 90s have I felt so good. It was something else.

Croke Park 27th july
It was my birthday time and hearing Bono sing "Stay" (one of my favourite song) for the first time on the 360 ° and just for me (and 80 000 people ok!) was f...king special. Thanks a million, boys!
Damien_horizon14
my first concert in Paris...
hard question... the show was so great ! but if I had to choose one moment that would be Breathe...definitely... the entry of Larry and the drums solo, followed by Edge and Adam... and finally by Bono ! the first song of the first concert of U2 you live... it's totally unforgettable...

best moment
Best moment for me: being in the pit surrounded by U2 during Until The End Of The World, with Bono on the bridge to the right, Edge on the bridge to the left, and both bridges closing in on us. Chillingly surreal.

Ultraviolet
When I first heard the sounds of Ultraviolet I was ecstatic, one of my favorite songs ever. Then when I saw Bono sing into the electric red wheel with his flashing jacket, I was mesmerized. I was lucky enough to see 360 twice, and the second time was as spectacular as the first....I cannot wait to see it again! Lauren G CT

Larry coming off his background
I must say that one of the coolest moments by far, was when U2 played " i'll go crazy if i don't go crazy tonight" and Larry came out around the ring with his drum and now the whole band was playing around the ring. It's good to see the whole band, literally, aiming to reach out to the audiences.

Unforgettable Moment..
The unforgettable moment for me was hearing for the first time in concert "The Unforgettable Fire" Wow! Sounding as brilliantly as ever. I got chills hearing it. I hope U2 continues resurrect classical gems like that. Truly a great moment for me personally. Also hearing Ultraviolet, a greatly underrated song. That song really moves me.
