U2 performed for more than two hours, including such favorites as "Pride (In the Name of Love)" and "Beautiful Day." For their encore they brought an old friend on stage, Bruce Springsteen, who joined them for "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" and the Ben E. King hit "Stand By Me."

The New York shows were part of U2's "Innocence & Experience" tour. (++++)
