u2

Here's how it went down:

The traffic was horrible on the way down, but we got there in time. Missed the opening act, but who cares?

The seats were killer. The way the light curtains were set up (which were up for most of the songs anyway), we had a clear shot of the stage - a great stadium perspective.

First half of the concert was like a 100 yard dash. It was so freaking loud. On The Electric Co., Edge went out on the ellipse and just went off. During I Still Haven't Found, Bono did his "Now we're having church" thing. He said, "This isn't Monday night, it's Saturday night or Sunday Morning." Pretty cool. They weren't lying on the U2tours review, the crowd singing was extremely loud. Nuts.

Then they did Beautiful Day. And on and on. Original of the Species - Bono's "favorite song from the new album". Sunday Bloody Sunday rocked. And of course, Streets.

But my favorite of the night was The Fly - the second song in the encore. Amber and I moved down to the second row in our section for the encore. The Fly just exploded. Got to be one of my favorite U2 songs. I was a little disappointed they didn't play Yahweh, but Bad was a nice ending. Everyone was singing.

U2 has been playing together for 25 years. At one point in the show, I realized that I was singing along to a song that I was singing during a school dance in the 8th grade (With or Without You). This generation's Beatles.
