The chemistry of Friday's show is loss to be astonishing: a perfect, contemporary way to rush off the fortieth anniversary celebrations. I am so grateful for the exuberance of the media and the unit of the music industry for their willingness and readiness to sustain us in what could have been a crisis.""It's a dreadful thing for U2 ?
