Yep, just checked it and it still seems to be working (I think they guy who posted it said it won't be there forever...maybe just until tomorrow's show is loaded in?!?)
Anyway, there were definitely parts that I wasn't thrilled about. I know it was the first show and that'd be like giving a review of a preview on Broadway. They'll definitely need some time to gel, and figure out the setlist, etc. However, some things in particular...Sunday Bloody Sunday was a major disappointment. It didn't have anywhere near the passion I'd expect from it after listening to the boots. Also, (totally random, and I don't know why it bothered me so much, but it REALLY did!) there was no "I'M/WE'RE SO SICK OF ITTT!" Have you guys noticed that on the boots? I LOOOOOVE it! It's just a little thing, but he seems to do it in most concerts, and it's just like *POW* So emotionally charged...totally gives me chills.
Also, I HATE the fact that he only sings like a third of One, and just lets the crowd pick up the slack on the rest. Ummm, yeah totally nice to have the audience interaction, but he'd only sing a line here and there. I was sitting there thinking "Bono! Where are you?!?!?! Hello, hello!" Dammit, it's a classic, and I want to hear Bono sing it, not the crowd. (ETA: I was listening to it again this morning...I guess Bono sang more than I gave him credit for last night, but there were still some biggish chunks where he just kind of let the audience go at it...eh, I dunno!)
I don't know...I guess that's it. I know it'll get better as the tour goes on in the next week or so, but those two things bothered me (and yes, I realize one adlibbed line shouldn't bother me so much!) Oh, and I also think Vertigo should open the show. It is the Vertigo Tour afterall, and I like the "uno, dos, tres, quatorce" opening it. It's counting off, and it seems kind of fitting to open counting it off. Dunno.
Guess that's about it...Oh, did you see someone's selling the DVD on eBay for $19.50 w/ s/h? He's sold well over 100 in less than 24 hours!!! That's quite a hefty profit my friends!!! Crazy! I think I'll wait it out and try to scavange up a B+P trade for one of our MSG shows thank you very much! Maybe I could work out a trade...I got the Brooklyn Bridge DVD (and I'm getting ZooTV Sydney, PopMart Mexico, and Elevation Las Vegas...for FREE!!! *squeal*...I'm in the process of trying to figure out how to burn DVDs. I've got a friend who can copy from DVD to VHS, and she supposed to be getting a burner that can go from VHS to DVD, so although it may suffer from a bit of generation loss, maybe I can copy y'all some DVDs!!!...It'll be a while though, so ya know. But, I'll keep you posted!)
ETA: HAVE FUN GROWNUPGROUPIE!!!! I can't wait to read your review (and if you have some imput from your friends behind the stage, that'd be cool too!)
But when did New Hampshire become--Such a backward wasteland of seatbelt hating crazies?...I mean, only 40 people actually live there. The others are just visitors who come for the tax-free liquor and three inches of novelty coastline. John Hodgeman on The Daily Show (1-30-07)

) and my friend and her husband are using the loge ones right behind the stage. It's going to be amazing just being there at all! 
I was SURE that coming on here at 6:45 would ensure I post my thoughts on what I read before you!
