Rock n' Roll Doggie FOB
Velvetdress and i are sitting here not sure what to say!!!!
Stunning, just an incredible show, both of our favorites of every show we've seen.
By now you've seen the setlist and it was every bit as amazing in person as it was on paper. party girl, slow dancing, wild honey, and larry's awesome speech...
the band just came out rocking in a different fashion than prov 1. Bono ended Elevation with "celebration, celebration" over and over, and that just set the tone for the evening.
we're just gonna give brief highlights before we try to write it all out...
Until- instead of interacting with a girl, Bono took a helium 40th bday balloon from the heart and sang to the balloon then at the end of the 2nd verse he bit the string of the balloon, and released it. Then when he got to the tip, he pulled a photographer from the pit, but the guy seemed to be a fan who had happened to get press passes, not a news journalist. Instead of the bullfight! - he beckoned the nervous photographer towards him, as Bono embraced Edge, putting his arm around his neck as edge played and they both posed for the photographer until the end of the song.
After SBS, Bono said (from what we remember) "when i asked larry what he wanted for his 40th birthday, he said he wanted to play a gig in rhode island." Larry laughed and said something we couldn't hear, then stood up and waved. Then he walked around the kit to the front stage, where Bono presented him with a cake. Larry took the (chocolate) cake and pretended to throw it into the heart, laughing. Then Larry took the mic and -well the crowd went NUTS! we KNEW what a treat this was!!- "em, hello."
and "i've waited 40 years to get up here at the front of the stage." at this point, bono is looking like a mischiveous boy on Larry's drumset. Then Larry says "and I really quite like it up here!" crowd goes wild. then he said something about feeling safe b/c "at least Bono can't play the drums" !!
Larry said next: "There's no way I'd rather spend my birthday than with 18,000 of my closest friends. I feel so close to you that I could borrow money from you." then he gave bono the mic back.
Bono said laughing "yeah and you'll never see it again."
...we'll be right back w/ more as we collect the rest of our thoughts!!
