    I'd love to be there you don't get chances to see 2 legends (like them or not) share the stage

    I paid about €340 to see both Bruce and Bono play with there bands over the past few months and the people there tonight only paid for there Bruce tickets and got Bono thrown in too lol

    Sad they didn't sort out the sound after receiving so many negative reports after Friday's show

    Over at 10.17ish

    Sound was a better, but I was in the pit tonight.

    Enjoyed it. Independence Day the highlight for me.

    I don't begrudge him anything, he deserves his success; but if I paid to see Bruce on stage it's Bruce alone I'd want to see

    Bruce has joined U2 on stage in the past for a couple of songs.

    Personally I don't mind a bit of a twist

    My opinion, don't begrudge him anything he has achieved. Bono is just not my cup of tea.

    Really poor form from the promoters, telling people it was over with a good few songs left

    Seen them both years ago and wouldn't pay to see either of them again to be honest.

    Bono and his ego is a bit too much for me, and I find some of Bruce's songs a bit cloying.

    The best gig of the weekend in Dublin was, The Last Shadow Puppets and sound was great.

    But if 2 artist have mutual respect and decide to join each other on stage, that's all the better in my opinion and can add to the night.

    Other then a couple of drunken idiots I was pretty lucky tonight with the crowd immediately around me, really enjoyed the show :)

    Not at their best in all honesty, but Croke Park is a hole for live music and they can't be 110% every single time I guess. Even not at their best still the best live act I will be seeing this year for sure!

    Loved Two Hearts, The Promised Land and Out in The Street, always love Spirit in The Night. Great to hear Incident on 57th, I'd love to see him do a solo tour over the next couple of years, in the 3Arena ideally though I doubt it is likely.

    The rumour is that he has a solo album ready to go as soon as this tour is out of the way.

    Born In The USA and Youngstown tonight - damn I wish we got them on Friday. No Jungleland or Darkness on The Edge of Town though, so maybe it balances.

    I thought badlands was immense tonight, it probably better at that stage of the gig than at the start.

    Because the night was really good too. A lot of songs repeated both nights, thought he'd mix it up a bit more.

    I'd rather have gone to see Josh Groban in the Bord Gais tonight than The Last Shadow Muppets.

    43 different songs over the two nights, I thought it would have been a bit more mixed tonight also especially the encores, glory days, American land even Atlantic City in there however can understand why they played what they did Croke Park is so big they have to play the big hits to keep the atmosphere
