In a high-tech show beneath a four-pronged, 90-foot-tall canopy that he referred to as “our spaceship,” Bono dressed for the occasion in a jacket outlined in neon and dangled from a glowing, steering-wheel-shaped microphone as the band kicked into its encore. As he twirled madly during “Ultra Violet (Light My Way)” and then more lazily during “With or Without You,” the two-hour, 10-minute concert took on a surreal air, with a disco ball reflecting shards of light against the balconies of Soldier Field, a tiny constellation in a galaxy of sound and glitter. Stadium concerts usually tend to feel puffed up and bombastic, but this was downright strange — and wonderfully so.
