I could rave about this for days and weeks and still never really express the feelings and emotion i've been injected with.

This being my 2nd U2 show - the other being in Toronto for the Vertigo tour in 2005 - i knew what to expect.
I went in expecting a night of passion, LOVE, and emotion..and that's exactly what I got.
Despite expecting this, I'm completely blown away.
The energy U2 brings is absolutely unparalleled.
Mind-blowingly amazing experience.

So much LOVE...to a degree of inspiring you to do something more...to want something more...
Whether in life or just at that very moment, you feel like you NEED to express all the LOVE you've ever felt..and it'd still not be enough..not even close.

The greatest high of all is pure LOVE, and no one personifies this as does U2.
The essence of everything they bring - the music, the show, the energy, and their message to the rest of the world is...LOVE and unity.

We are all ONE and it is LOVE that unites us all

Stunning that his voice can still sound so good at the end of the show :



Will post the rest of the vids in the day or 2 (regardless of your interest heh)

I've seen them 4 times & you sir have it the nail on the head regarding the feeling you havev walking out of one of their shows. I just wish their show here in October wasn't so fuckin expensive. That's the only reason I'm not going.

P.S. - I can't believe they played Ultraviolet. You're so damn lucky.

Wicked review, Vrkic

Joshua Tree Album is one of my all time favourite albums. I still have it on vinyl.

GREAT REVIEW!!!
Being a HUUUGE U2 fan myself, this thread has gotten me super-psyched for both shows in sept - Thanks! I've seen them 4 times and i must say that everytime i see them, the performance gets better and better. Bono's like an 18 year old kid trapped in a 50-something year old's body... running around the stage during the intro of "Where the Streets Have No Name" brings an overwhelming feeling throughout my body like nothing else. I've been waiting for another U2 show for 4 years, and i cannot WAIT to see them again!
If anyone wants to see a REAL concert, buy a pair of tix for their show in sept... i promise they will NOT disappoint! And for those of you who don't particularly like any of their songs, their live shows give off a completely different vibe... it's a very intense and overwhelming feeling when you're just one of 30,000 people packed in an arena singing on top of your lungs to "Sunday Bloody Sunday"... it's surreal.

p.s. love your pics!!!
