I'm still left speechless on it. Except for the over crowdedness in the ring and stupid people thinking they could force their way back to the center it was perfect. Hopefully we will get a good dvd of that concert.
Really? The FOS was crowded? I didn't even notice
Seriously, it was tough. They let too many people in, which I think it slightly irresponsible, security-wise. You couldn't move, you couldn't even go to the back to get some space or air, and don't remind me of these stupid people constantly trying to push their way in and out of the circle. I have an advice for everyone inside the inner circle: Don't drink so much beer. It has a couple of positive effects: 1. You don't get drunk and aren't being a constant annoyance to other people there 2. You don't have to to to the toilet every fucking 20 minutes. I couldn't believe people were seriously thinking they'll get their spot back if they left and came back in again
So much rudeness and aggressiveness .... I don't think I've experienced something like this at a concert, ever. I also heard there were a lot of drunk people in front of the stage. Great. I'll never understand how you can go to a concert and then get drunk. Good way to spoil the fun for you and everyone else around you. People were constantly spilling beer over me because they couldn't get past us with approximately 10 cups of beer in their hands. It was really wild.
On the other, the positive side: Fantastic concert. I actually teared up when they played Stay. And oh my Bono ... What. A. Voice. Incredible. He was on the bridge directly above us during Ultra Violet. Angel Of Harlem was also really nice with the guys they got up on stage to perform.
Next day I woke up with strained neck muscles because I looked at the screen so much. Visuals and lights aren't really great when you're in the inner circle, you don't see much of it. Also, the band made much more use of the whole stage, also the backside, and the bridges and catwalk when we were in Milan.
But they were in very good mood, a lot of smiles, Bono seemed very relaxed and genuinely touched by the audience.
Apart from the inner circle disaster, all was pretty well organised and I was actually surprised how quickly and well we got out of the stadium and into the trains. I bought a t-shirt, poster and tourbook after the concert.
Weather was also ok, despite all the bad forecasts. It only rained a little bit at times and I was actually quite glad about that because the heat was even worse.
