This is my first post in Six weeks and I have come on here to share/brag(hahahah) a few of my U2 experiences with the lot of ya.
In the past 6 weeks some of the highlights have been in Chronoligcal order ofcourse.
1) Meeting Bono and Ali by accident 3 hours after getting off the plane at a clinic, however one disappointment was that I could not get a picture as Bono said 'sorry we're not doing pictures today' Doh
2) Buying a ticket to Croke Park for U2's first gig while very intoxicated(being on the high from meeting Bono that day) for 200 Euro's eek and then seeing them the next night at Croke, I didn't know it would be so easy, they performed WGRYWH's for Sound check and Vertigo too! And then performed WGRYWH's again in concert too!!! The guitarring is amazing in that song!
3) Discovering at the U2 Cardiff 29.06.05 concert that The Killers are an even better live band than U2(Just kidding!! haha) Nah but discovering that they are even more awesome live than they are on their records. Seeing U2 there was also the best I had seen them ever, even better than the Croke Park one and I feel that it had alot to do with the darkness and therefore the lighting creating more atmosphere.
4) Seeing U2 in Amsterdam 13.07.05, my most emotional concert, not the best because of the strange accoustics, but when Bono sang STYCMIOYO it was right in front of me this time as opposed to the Cardiff one where he was on the other wing and this time it really gutted me.
The only dissappointments about the concerts in general was the fact that for me each of the concerts were pretty much the same setlist! I mean none of those extra songs you get here and there.
I was dying to here Gloria and Orginal of Species. Still am happy with getting Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses and City Of Blinding Lights and I Will follow/The Electric Co double is brilliant.
Thanks and sorry for spill I just needed to share it with some U2ers
Cheers
