What a great show that was! I'm on my friend's computer so I'll try to keep it brief...
Due to a bit of a snafu with my friends tickets, we were unable to line up in the GA line early enough to get anywhere near the stage so we just said to heck with it and showed up right as U2 was going on. While it was disappointing to not be as close to the band as we have been for the other shows, we got a great spot by the mix table and had lots of room to dance, run around, etc - and the sound there was AWESOME.
This was my sixth show on this tour, and the set list for most of those shows was essentially the same. I'm not complaining about that - but I got some great surprises tonight! They played Out of Control, an acoustic version of Wild Honey, an acoustic version of Please going into Bad. (I had been hoping to hear all three of these songs on this tour and had given up hope
). During One I got chills as the names of all the people killed on Sept 11 was scrolled up on screen and then projected on the ceiling. It was so moving and overwhelming with the sheer number.
The energy of the show and crowd was incredible. I can tell that Bono's getting tired... his voice does not have the range that he had early on in the tour but the show was still amazing and the energy of the crowd and the band was palpable.
As an aside - a special thanks to those two guys standing near us (Ron and Adam) - I'm not sure if they come in here but were super nice and shoved off a guy that kept messing with me. (She's with me - back off). What a nice couple of guys and big fans singing along to every song.
and...
[rant]Girls - please DO NOT sit on your boyfriends shoulders in general admission - it is rude to everyone standing behind you. I am only 5'2" and can't see over your butt.[/rant]
Now I'm off to deal with my post-elevation tour depression - that was my last show!
To all of you guys going west - have a great time!
Peace
