My first U2 moment came on bono's bday in may and while that was fun and I got onstage and all that, this show was breathtaking. Amazing. Totally elevated. Maybe it was cause I was right in front of bono about 3rd row, but the set list was perfect, they played BAD and STILL HAVENT FOUND!!! I could hear bono singing sometimes even when he wasnt at the mic, just straight up bono's natural voice!!!
The best part was when he sang Kite and he looked into my eyes for 10 seconds singing and then slowly closed them it was soooo cool!! Like 10 straight seconds!! HE tried to reach my hand too and couldnt get it
Then they played Please and it was SOOOO beautiful. I cried so many times i was so moved by the whole show. THEN at the end Dallas came out and threw out pics to a few people and i reached up and he looked at me and threw it right in my hand, and it didnt bounce out or anything!! I got a U2 pic!!!!!!!!! its the coolest thing I own!!
The show was amazing, like a religious experience. I wish I couldve met Bono but they cmae out to do meeting at like 6:30 and by then I was already standin firm in the heart.
This show was everything I ever wanted out of U2 - it was a perfect show that was all soul, none of that stupid crap Bono does where he pulls people up and does corny crap that make bono seem like a big ham lately, just straight up pounding soul for 3 hours. couldnt have designed a better setlist.
How ever please see the thread I am about to write about just how awful the crowd and the Ice Palace was... it makes me never want to meet a U2 fan again, and it made me very angry at how people have taken advantage of the GA privilege. Its disgusting some of the behavior and things said to me and others that I witnessed yesterday. I actaully had the desire to line about 50 U2 fans up and shoot them execution style one by one thats how awful they were.
But U2 countered all that! ROCK ON U2!!!!
