Anyway, I updated the post...

Just a little nit to pick; they've played in America before; they've been playing it at several recent shows on this leg of the tour and I heard it at the Philadelphia show. I heard somewhere that it's on some editions of the latest album, though unlisted. It's not on mine, so I never heard it until the show, but it was pretty good. I'm glad you had such a great time. I was also struck by the age of the concertgoers when I was there. I'd guess the average age was probably about 35-40, which made me feel among friends. Well, this is a band that's been around almost 25 years. But pretty much everyone spent the whole show standing and rocking, so U2 is still pretty good at getting our creaky bones moving. “The 3rd to last song, Fast Cars, had never before been played in America, and has only been played 7 times ever.”
