Live From the San Diego iPayOne Center
U2's eagerly awaited (now that's an understatement!) Vertigo Tour officially kicked off in extraordinary fashion in San Diego tonight at the iPayOne Center.
Watch this space for more information, news, reviews and photos as we get it, but for now, enjoy the setlist and notes from the show, courtesy of our own Contributing Editor Devlin Smith. Show was filmed. Our crew spots Steve Lillywhite, Paul McGuinness and Ned O'Hanlon. Look for our full report tomorrow afternoon.
