My first show was at Joyce Center at Notre Dame University in Indiana, 10/01/01. My sis Patt and I both managed to score a pair of tickets to the show (very small arena). We kept the better pair (behind the stage), just about even with the stage, so close we could see Bono spit when he sang, and sold the other pair. We tried to get our brother and other sister to take them, but they didn't--and regretted it ever since! Amazing show--it was less than a month after 9/11, about a month after Bono's father died, and a couple of months after we lost our own mother, so it was very emotional. We sang, we danced, we hollered, we laughed, we cried--and saw our first live "Bad."
At the end of the show, Larry stripped his shirt off over his head as he was going down the stairs--if you ever hear a recording of the show, that's what all of the shrill feminine screams were about.
