Chicago I was my first U2 show!!! We had rear stage seats in section 226 which were AWESOME, especially for the lights and such. The people around us were all standing and dancing and everyone was totally into it.
Chicago II we had GA. We got up at 4am and were in line by 5:45, numbers 73 and 74. We hung out with a mom and daughter pair from Chile. They had a great time and eventually made it into the ellipse which was awesome for them. When we got in, we were second row along the rail on the outside of the ellipse. I saw some friends from the U2 Midwest group (Laura and Eep) so we stood by them along the rail.
Highlights....
1. During Beautiful Day, Bono grabbed Laura's hand and stepped onto the platform. I couldn't reach him so I was going to take a picture, but then Phil lifted be off the ground, moved me 4 spots over and kept yelling "what are you going? reach! keep reaching!" and I was stretching but couldn't reach Bono. So Phil grabbed by elbow and pulled me up as high as he could and I finally got ahold of Bono's jacket sleeve and touched his hand.
2. Laura playing Party Girl was as kick ass as it gets!!!
