Spain: U2 arrives into Barcelona like a freight train rolling in with a massive thunder to waken the masses.  The first of four shows set the tone for the next few days.  The boys did run a couple of numbers thru song check however the set remains tight.

Consider the amount of technical work that has to go into adding or removing a song from the list. Yes at this point is all pre loaded into the systems however the set list does require couple of changes now and again. "One"  closes out the evening and "Sweetest Thing" was placed in rotation after sitting out a couple of shows.

Bona nit Barcelona!’, shouted U2’ leader, ‘Bono’, to the nearly 17,900 people who filled Palau Sant Jordi. All the shows have been sold out for months.  Rocktober is in full swing for the boys.
