Can I Ever Go Again?

[nbcrusader]

To a U2 concert.....

After watching the show last night in the Eclipse, on the rail infront of Edge, it can't possibly get any better.





Bono rarely brings 40-year old guys on stage.

Congrats on getting in!

This was your very first show right?

 

[BAW]

Wooohooo, you got in Doug!!!!!!

 

[nbcrusader]

Congrats on getting in!

This was your very first show right?

My second (I got to SD2 by myself), my wife's first. This was our anniversary present to each other.

I'll put detail in my journal!

How was the sound comparison for inside vs outside?

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Oh wow, Doug! That's where I hope to be Saturday night.

Edge

That's so great.

 

[nbcrusader]

How was the sound comparison for inside vs outside?

It's just louder up front.

Everytime Larry hit the bass drum, it felt like someone punched my chest.


It's a good feeling

 

[BAW]

It's just louder up front.

Everytime Larry hit the bass drum, it felt like someone punched my chest.


It's a good feeling

At one show during the Elevation tour, we had seats very close to Adam and his bass rumbled so loud at times, we could feel it in our chests...it was very cool

Wow, I'm so glad you're getting to see shows, finally, and enjoying them so much!

 

[Mr. BAW]

Bono rarely brings 40-year old guys on stage.

I know of a drunken 45-year old that made his obtrusive way onto the stage......

I'm too much of an innate rule-follower to pull a Diamond.....

 

[BostonAnne]

LOL diamond is a year older than me. Thus he is 42 going on 43 in July

2001 he turned 38.

I turned 40 in July 2003 and another frequent interferencer (not fym) turned 40 in July 2004.

I think I'm the only Leo of the bunch though.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I'm too much of an innate rule-follower to pull a Diamond.....

And we're all very thankful for that.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy and his wife.

 

[BostonAnne]

How was it experiencing your wife's first show right after your first show?

 

[Mr. BAW]

I can tell you that I experienced my first show with my son, DeadMansParty and the feeling was overwhelming...BAW will write about it but words will not describe just how I felt especially when "Sometimes You Can't Make it On Your Own" started....we immediately looked at each other and grabbed each other's hands....it was heartwarming for me!

For every guy who gets up on stage, there's another like the pitiable soul on the Rattle and Hum deleted footage who tries to sing with Bono, but is wrestled away by security without getting much more than a passing glance from King B.

"You picked the wrong night for an arm-wrestling match, sonny!"

Granted, Bono was probably not terribly charitable because his arm was in a sling, but still.

 

[nbcrusader]

How was it experiencing your wife's first show right after your first show?

I was amazed at how much fun she had, considering I am by far the bigger fan. She spent the last couple of months listening to the new album so she could sing along with the rest of us.


And, Dallas Schoo tossed her a guitar pick! It's blue with "EDGE" on one side and "U2" on the other.

 

[She Is Raging]

I was in the same exact place with in Providence during Elevation. Nothing will ever compare!! Lucky, I have awesome pictures!

At one show during the Elevation tour, we had seats very close to Adam and his bass rumbled so loud at times, we could feel it in our chests...it was very cool

I felt the same thing when I saw U2 in Brooklyn! It was especially nice since Adam's a favorite of mine.

I'm so happy that everyone is having a wonderful time at the shows...my turn comes in May!
