To the Interference U2 community,
Starting my first thread and post in a introduction capacity.
I have been a U2 fan since 1985 when first hearing "Pride" on the radio and viewing the music video on music TV . The event that really solidified my passion was during the last quarter of 1987.
I was 14 at the time and my Dad had just won a very prestigious music contest from a local radio station. The prize included: front row seats, music library and t- shirt PLUS backstage access to met Bono, Edge, Adam and Jr!
Many years later and this concert still is my favourite. The experience of meeting the guys and then sitting front row as they ripped into an amazing "Joshua Tree" era set was truly an "Unforgettable Fire"! ( insert laugh track here)
After that musical life changing event, I become a dedicated U2 fan from that point on.
Going forward, I have seen locally and via travel U2 14 different times. One of the most memorable was Slane Castle during the "Elevation" tour. I would expect most on this site own a copy of that show, so the WOW factor involved around that night is very apparent .
Now that I have decided to join an on- line community. What are my expectations?
To read and view and discuss U2 related topics with cool people who are fans of a fantastic group of artists who began many years ago in Mount Temple school.
It is a slice to meet all of you.
Thanks.
