U2 in Paris:

As the iNNOCENCE and eXPERIENCE tour finally comes to Paris, it's sure to be an emotional night. We'll be updating throughout the evening as the City of Lights welcomes Dublin's finest to the first of 2 nights at the AccorHotels Arena. [photo by Eoin McLoughlin]

The emotion has been raw and heartfelt from the word go. With Bono addressing the crowd as the band arrived on stage.

There's no doubt that Raised by Wolves has a particular resonance this evening.

"The worst things in the world are justified by belief." Passionate version of Raised By Wolves tonight. #U2ieTour #U2 #strongerthanfear
