edit: I should have titled this thread…"Introducing my nephew to U2"…lol but you get what I meant
Tonight I am headed to Meadowlands Stadium (Giants Stadium) to see the Joshua Tree Tour 2017.
I am bringing my 20 year old nephew with me who has never been to a concert before, so it will be his first. He knows U2 because his father (my older brother) is a big 80s U2 fan (doesn't follow them anymore as he lost interest in them after Achtung Baby…Zooropa forward he hasn't cared at all for them).
My nephew doesn't hate U2, doesn't like U2, he just has no opinion and to me that is much worse then hating U2 as indifference quickly leads to irrelevance. I am very optimistic that after tonight, he will have an opinion about them.
I only hope that both U2 and the crowd bring their A game tonight. For me, U2 has always been amazing live but some times the crowd can either dull the experience or lift it into the heavens and I am hoping for the latter.
I also really hope that the show is sold out and they don't have sections closed in the uppers like they did during my 2nd PopMart show at Giants Stadium when there were only about 33k or so in attendance (the 3rd Popmart I am taking about, the 2nd show seemed to be sold out).
I am really excited to introduce him to this band in their true form….live!!!! Im also interested to hear his thoughts on WTSHNN live as to me that song is at another level.
Ill post his reaction soon to the songs and the over all experience.
