U2 kicked off an extended four night, weeklong residency at the United Center last night.
Philamonjaro Studio was on hand to grab some pretty incredible snapshots of the elaborately staged show.
The Tribune's Greg Kot had this to say:
For U2, the show was in many ways the band’s way of reminding not only its fans, but also perhaps itself, who it is. Visuals, sound and sequencing synced up to tell a story, but it was a story built on emotionally involving songs presented with a minimum of fuss.
