I am going to the Dec 9 show as well! (I am also going to Dec 2). Would be delighted to buy you a beer (although I am leaving on the evening of Dec 10th) :-)

Just wanted to say- after seeing this song live at the Sphere, it did grow on me. I don't love it. But, it was totally stuck in my head after the show and it definitely works live for U2.
