wow! it was a beautiful day or rather a beautiful night! though even an hour before the time when U2 were supposed to come out, i was not sure whether their concert would take place at all. it was raining so much and there was no roof over the stage. fortunately, about half an hour before the concert rain stopped to fall and when U2 started to play, the audience forgot very soon about their wet clothes
.
i have to warn you that i can't be very objective in my review as it was my first U2 concert in life. my dream finally came true so i simply loved the show and was happy to listen any song that Bono & Co. were ready to play
. and of course i would love to hear for example 'Bad', 'Crumbs', something from 'Pop' and many more but i love U2 almost in their entirety so for me yesterday's setlist was as good as would be (almost) any other. and the band seemed to be on a very good form (Bono's voice as well). the only thing that sometimes bothered me was the fact that during some songs guitars were jamming Bono's vocal quite a lot.
but maybe the best thing on yesterday's concert was the atmosphere. the audience was awesome practically on the whole stadium - very spontaneous and in great interaction with the band. all the time people were singing, jumping, clapping and waving together. wow! i loved it. and i almost lost my voice
.
probably the most memorable moment of the concert was during 'New Year's Day'. as you know, Bono wrote this song inspired by the things that were happing in the beginning of 1980s in Poland and especially by the Solidarity movement. so this song has a very special meaning for the Polish fans. couple of weeks before the concert Polish U2 fanclub made a spontaneous action in the internet asking all the people coming for the U2 concert to bring something red and white to wave when U2 will be playing 'New Year's Day'. People on the GA were supposed to wave with someting red and people on the grandstands were supposed to wave with something white so the stadium was to look as gigantic Polish flag. in this way we wanted to thank U2 for coming to play in Poland. i was sceptical if it would work but in fact it did! and the effect was stunning
hope somebody took photo of that. it looked so amazing. when Bono noticed what was happening he was really surprised and moved. great moment!
it was an awesome night and you could tell that from the smiling eyes of the people leaving the stadium after the concert. mine were similing as well... Thank you U2!
