a little girl who is rendered speechless aside from being able to tell Bono 'I love you.'

I give a shit!!! I was waiting for the set list, so thanks! Cool, they played Bad! And that is so cute about the little girl...
How did Bono climb the lower level I wonder.
Hah, I thought he wasn't allowed to do that stuff anymore.

*end of ramblings*

Oh, that sounds like such a lovely moment with the girl - how old was she approximately? Bono must have been touched!

The girl was sitting in the first row behind stage (section 116 I believe), she appeared to be about 5 or 6. It looked like Bono wanted her to climb onstage with him, but she was afraid, so he climbed into the seats and hugged her. When he got back onstage, he asked what her name was, put the microphone to her mouth and she shouted "I love you". Funny what parents will name a kid these days

. Very nice moment during a great show.

The cute girl moment was marred just a tiny bit. A woman - around 25-30 - I guess thought Bono was coming to her. This was in the section behind the stage, so it was very nice of Bono to spend extra time there. When Bono climbed, this woman hugged Bono. That was very nice - and clearly the woman was excited as she kept shouting "Oh my God!" and even started crying. However, then the woman became just a bit greedy. When Bono wanted to talk to that little girl next to her, this woman kept hugging and reaching for Bono, hindering him. Let's not be selfish here!

I think this is true for many fans. It's one thing if you want to spend your time and money seeing show after show, but I hear many fans who claim they want to get back on stage. What's up with that? I realize the "limelight" can be addictive, but please share. If you've been on stage once or hugged Bono once or whatever, let others have a chance.

Blah...
