The Fly
the tourist said:I would have agreed with you, Axver, all the way. But being there made it different than just reading about it or listening to the mp3s. For some reason I now feel like I partook in a true piece of U2 history. Something that hasn't happened in a long time. I hope to God it doesn't happen again. Because it would kill that wonderful selfish "I got to see something special and unique" feeling I have right now about it.
That's exactly the way I felt on 4-20-01 in San Jose when Kite made its debut and Stay for the first time in North America. There was something special going on that night, everyone felt it. Later, Bono would go on to say it was the best show of his career, something he's never said before.
Now some will say "but, at least you saw two new songs and not a repeat!". Thats not the point. The point is, the feeling people walked out of there was the same. From the sounds of it, they were beaming just like us. I wish I could've been there to feel it all over again.
