Lets see..

Took kids..Had a good time they were riding their scooter in the GA line all day and hamming it up..

We enjoyed No Doubt..Gwen acknowledge my oldest daughter because she had a sign that said -Gwen WOW YOU'RE PRETTY!

U2 came on and Bono notice my little girls right away..During Out Of Contol ,he said to Sydney-6 -" Well Hello There!" and "How Ya Doin!?" We ran back to the tip b4 SBS w/a our big Am. Flag..He notice Syd again and took her flag..he wept..and tried to hand it to me but I said-- "No hand it to Sydney"..he did..
A few mins later he came and thanked Alexis-8 by shaking her hand.

He next did In Gods Country acoustic..and pulled up a girl from SLC show that he remembered and they did "I Shall Be Released"
He was almost goin do it in SLC but he didnt know the words but the girl brought them w/her..He said he remembered her..

Several times I had eye contact w/Bono and he did w/the dimoneetes as well. Sydney tells me Adam kept smiling at her..
At the beginning of Walk On some cool righteous fans -some who were at Bos 4-(not sure if theyre cat-lovers)threw up numerous signs that read-
FRIENDS OF THE BIG GUY HERE!
LOVE CONQUERED FEAR AT BOSTON 4
THANKS FOR SAVING THE BIG GUY
SAVING THE BIG GUY SAVED US..

Bono reads them and just smiles..next he locking on to my kids calling for them..he puts them next to center mic and sings Walk On to them..and they are soaking it all up..
They were up there for the almost whole song ..Bono handed them guitar pics..

Next Randy Johnson comes out from AZ DiamondBacks w/the Championship Trophey holding it high over his head and takes a lap around the heart..Crowd goes nuts..

A righteous day..

Diamond

Diamond,
Wow! What an amazing show tonight!! I'm still so ELEVATED I can't sleep! They played In God's Country! The whole song acoustic!! Man was that beautiful!!! And Randy Johnson bringing out the World Series Championship trophy and doing a lap of the heart was friggin' AWESOME! That could only have been topped by having Curt Schilling join Randy, the two co-MVP's of the Series.
I've been checking out a few of the MANY photos I snapped tonight with my digital camera. Much work to be done the next day or two transferring them to my PC and retouching with Photoshop. But I wanted to make sure that I got the photo of your Diamonettes onstage with Bono tranferred and posted to the web. Here it is....

I know someday you'll have a beautiful life.
I know you'll be a star in somebody else's sky

Simply amazing Diamond! You must have one proud and honored papa.

Maybe when i go to the Tampa show, i'll make myself a sign with your picture plastered on it and reading: "That's My "Daddy"--You Forgot About Me Bono!". lol. Surely he'll have to bring me up on stage.

Thats pretty incredible Mr Diamond, bet you have a lot of majorly fecking cool pics for the ol' family album now!
biggrin.gif

Great stuff!
 
Diamond,
Did you happen to get a photo of Randy and Bono standing next to each other at the very end? I couldn't get a photo of that! The memory card of my digital camera was full after the previous shot and I didn't have enough time to delete an existing photo to make room.
 
CraigMac has some really nice Phoenix photos posted at U2Tours.com. I really like this one of Randy and Adam. It's rare you see Randy smiling. Someone told me that Bono roots for the Yankees. And since Adam has a home in NYC, I imagine he's a Yankees guy himself. That's probably why Randy has the grin on his face.
