Ok. Nothing Special.
No songs from Joshua Tree. Only 3 songs from albums prior to the Joshua Tree. If your a fan of the newer stuff it's the right show for you. They sounded good. Stage was the same as the innocence and experience tour. Nothing truly outstanding or special. Long time fan but this show makes me question if I'd ever go see them again.

Great show. U2 helped make the large arena feel smaller and more intimate.

Loved the show
Amazing show! But the sound was disappointing. Bono’s vocals were muddled and often got overpowered by Adam and Larry.

U2 takes it to a new level!!
U2’s vulnerability and transparency into the best and most difficult parts of their journey was captivating. Their music was rooted in the standards that caused me to fall in love with them as a child, but fresh and current in the showcasing of their last two albums. I LOVE U2s consistent, powerful messaging about faith. Unapologetic. Bold. Honest. The saddest part of the show was that the sound was a little echoed in the arena. When Bono called out for an encore, it was difficult to hear what he said, and not very many people in the lower bowl screamed out for more. In general, it seemed like the crowd’s energy was muted. I’m not from Tulsa, as I drove 10 hours to see the show. I wasn’t sure if the culture of the area is more subdued than places like LA, Chicago, NY, and Dublin. Either way, U2 put on a great show. We as fans didn’t do a great job of showing excitement and gratitude. PS. U2 had set the bar for digitization of the concert going experience. This show’s effects are on the razor’s edge of using technology to deepen the impact of the music.

Amazingly visual, musical, and social!
An extraordinary event you will not want to miss. There were people in the audience from all over the world!

U2 was outstanding! The crowd was a sleep !!
U2 put on an outstanding show. The crowd did not respond to the music. No one was responding to Bono.He had to prod the audience to react to the classics . Skip Tulsa and go to Dallas next time. The fans in Dallas would be much more appreciative!

Visual sound candy!
U2's newest tour is a stunning visual virtual treat! With a screen the length of a football field, the scenic exploration of the music U2 creates is bigger than life. Bono struts, Edge plays razor-sharp guitar, Adam riffs on the bass and Larry decimates the drums. Seats in this venue are all good, the sight lines are outstanding. eXPERIENCE + INNOCENCE, the band's latest album, is featured but there are several songs from prior releases and one notable mention is a performance of "Acrobat" for the first time in concert. Bono uses a Snapchat filter that allows him to appear a Macphisto, and it's creepy, scary, and wonderful all at the same time. I would highly recommend you catch this show if you are a U2 fan. You won't be disappointed, And couldn't we all use a little more experience and innocence?

They sucked
Cut three songs from opening night and added one. The songs they cut were integral for the show to work. Lot’s of mistakes, really poor setlist. Don’t waste your money on an expensive ticket. You can be disappointed from behind the stage just as much as front row.
Few bands in rock music history have reached the level of superstardom (and have maintained the staying power) of Dublin-based band U2. Due to a winning combination of innovative, ever-evolving songwriting, spectacular live shows, and front-man Bono's penchant for political/humanitarian endeavors, U2 have managed to remain an A-list act since emerging onto the music scene with their debut album Boy in 1980. With phenomenal album sales (every album they've released since 1987's The Joshua Tree has hit Billboard's number one spot), a plethora of hit singles ("New Years Day, " "Sunday Bloody Sunday," "Pride," "I Still haven't Found What I'm looking For," "With or Without You," "Mysterious Ways," Beautiful Day," -- and the list goes on) U2 have established themselves as the premier rock band of the 1980s and far beyond. Their sound has evolved from post-punk (guitarist The Edge created a signature sound with his sweeping, delay-heavy guitar work), to arena rock, to blues-inspired rock, to electronic/techno pop and back again. With their 2005 release, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, U2 treat fans to sounds both classic and new-- reminding us exactly why these Dubliners have managed to become one of the most successful bands in rock history.
