Adelaide pics, right up front.... and in need of a favour!

[PietroChocko]

Hey guys, it's taken me a little while to get this done (exams and work), but here's my pics from the gig. I had alot of trouble taking pictures.... I think it could've been from the vibration of the speakers, I don't know. Ah well.

View from the back (taken @ 7am):

No pictures uploaded of Mr. West, and for good reason.

And so the concert kicked off. Like I said, alot of the pictures taken that turned out right were in the bits where there wasn't alot of bass.... that's what you get for a point-and-shoot camera.

Vertigo, anyone?

I had a shot at some panoramic pics, and this is what I conjured up in Photoshop. Not the best but oh well:

More whole band. Cloudy effect thanks to flash + smoke machines.

And my camera decided to die. Lovely.

Now this is where I need your help, trendsetters. This is my sister's friend on stage with Bono...... does anyone have any better photos (or any photos at all) of Ash on stage w/Bono? Anything would be appreciated.... I took them with my ruddy awful Samsung camera-phone, but it was on the worst resolution, hence:

Bono says hi:

Bono gets a hug:

Ash gets a kiss on the hand:

Proof she was with us (sister on the left):

Hello Pietro

I went on the vertigo tour website and this is all i could find:

What a great moment for her! And yay, another blonde!

 

[Sicy]

Awesome

 

[tpsreports2424]

Do you regret being up and front or would you rather be right in front of the b-stages?

Thank you for the pictures. Lovely girl, she's so tiny, even compared to Bono. And him kissing her hand is very charming and sweet.

 

[Lila64]

Lovely pics!

I couldn't care less.... I WAS AT A FRICKING U2 CONCERT!!! FRONT ROW!!! Stuff the B-stages, they didn't use them THAT much.... I think the ellipse would've worked just the same.

THANKYOU SO MUCH SICY!!!! You MySpace champ!!

We got there at about 5am in the morning..... and there were about 100-odd people in front of us (50 groups, I've got the raffle ticket the lady handed out, we were group 51), and yeh. I bought along my sister's CD player (the big ones w/speakers), and blared some U2 for the whole day until the batteries died.
