U2 - "Ultraviolet (Light My Way)" Pt. 1 - Chicago, 9-12-09

U2 plays the first song of their encore - and one of their best underrated gems, "Ultraviolet (Light My Way)", at Soldier Field in Chicago, Illinois on September 12th, 2009. I apologize for this being in two parts, but my battery was getting low, and I didn't want to risk losing this song as it was that good. The second part starts up nearly three seconds after this clip ends (without missing any of the vocals), and I was able to get the rest of the song in Pt. 2 as well.

were you in the inner circle?! or just outside the catwalk??? cuz i was so close to you it looks like from this view this was the most amazing performance i have ever seen!!!! im so jealous you caught it on camera!!! that was one hell of a show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was in the inner circle, near the middle of Bono and The Edge. I will agree that this was a great performance though, and I'm thrilled they kept this song on the American set lists for this tour in particular. It's one of my all-time favorite songs, and definitely one that I think deserves a little bit more praise than it normally does. But a lot of fans like it a lot anyway, so yeah! ;)

HOW did you get in the inner circle?!?!? i made my own homemade shirt and everything and im a hugeeeeee fan and i would kill to get into the circle...do you have to buy special tickets??? pleaase let me know cuz it is my lifelong dream!!!!!

[trevgreg2]

No special tickets needed. Just need a regular GA one. To get in though, you need to get in line early. The earlier, the better. I had to be at Soldier Field before sunrise in this case, but it might be easier for you at any other show (depending where it is, of course). I imagine the smaller markets would give you the best chance of getting the spot you want compared to, say, New York City.

In any case, good luck!

I was at both Chicago shows (flew in from Seattle to see them). I wasn't gonna miss opening night! First thing I noticed when Ultraviolet started was the new lit up microphone!!! The mic wasn't lit up during the European shows. Both shows were awesome.

Thanks for posting this. I was in the partially obstructed view in section 356, :(, but damn, this show was so friggin' cool! Saw Bono before the show at his entrance. What a great guy to stop and come out of the SUV and mingle with us!  Woooo hoooo!

Thanks for posting! It was great to finally hear this song live and I'm glad you captured it like this, what an amazing show.
