I wish I had a picture of cori's face when I bumped into her at the end of the show. She looked like she was going to kill me for a sec. lol well, I did make a point of walking into her at least 3 times.
Well, I'd only seen you from afar in the Red Zone. I didn't recognize you close up. Plus, I was running on 2 hours of sleep and not a lot of food by that time. I was losing steam pretty quickly.
Plus, Cori recognized me from my avatar.
nice to "meet" you! You had a great spot.
Thank you Seattle and to my friends that helped make it that much better!
So glad you came!
I lucked into a great spot, second row outer rail ... which of course became ON THE RAIL as the crowd shifted. I thought the concert was great. Hearing EBTTRT and Zooropa just made the show for me.
Maybe more later, maybe not. I don't think I have anything coherent to add. Tried to take a few pics to show friends just how close I was, but that never really works out well. Bono should stand still more.
Also, Bono needed to show more love to our side of the stage. He was right there on the bridge in front of us for Miss Sarajevo, and then right there when the drums kicked back in during Crazy Tonight, but he really didn't come by that often. Bummer.
How many days until Minneapolis? I have seats, but am looking forward to seeing the whole Claw show again.
Oh, and I thought the crowd energy seemed okay on the floor - it's so hard to judge what the rest of the stadium is doing during the show. I love MOS as a closer, but for a crowd reaction, it's very anticlimactic - the response as they leave the stage is very subdued. Almost makes me wish they'd end the show with WOWY, because it gets such a huge response.
Weather was just stunning. A perfect Seattle day, the likes of which we haven't seen since .... well, last summer. Loved that Bono mentioned it. he said something like "A picture perfect day, like you took the city, put it in the washing machine and hung it out on the line to dry in the fresh air."
