You can really see so much emotion when you watch Slane, as i did when i saw them here in Glasgow only days before that show so i saw first-hand for myself when you saw his face close-up! I could tell from looking in his eyes that he was hurting incredibly! Poor Bono was all i kept thinking, but he still managed to sing his heart out - bless him!
Awww, I'm glad you got to experience that show, must have been amazing!!
I don't get a sense of hurt from watching Slane, though. What I get is almost a mixture of a weight being lifted off his shoulders, and a sense of joy and increcible openness with the audience.
Not that I'm an authority or anything, but often when loved ones who are terminal pass, there is a sense of relief...and given Bono's spiritual beliefs, this was probably even more pronounced with him...he knew his dad was gone to a better place, and probably felt joyous about it, despite his grief.
I don't know if I'm even explaining this right...but to me, there seems a real sense of emotional openness, that wasn't present in the Boston DVD.
