just came home from the concert in NJ. slept probably 2 hours the passed 2 days, got sunburnt, didn't eat, was dehydrated... and it was all worth it got to see the edge come out and sign a few stuff for people and i heard them soundcheck Bad. plus i got to get to the front of the outer circle and i saw myself on the jumbo tron thingie right before i was blessed with bono's water bottle spillage :P AND i got to see the fly and out of control and other awesome things. can't wait for the next tour!!
was hoping for bad at the 2 recent shows i saw and wished they hadn't save it for the last 2-3 shows of the tour...UGH
now, back to more important things...who's got a close up picture of the jesus statue that was at the very top of the pole on the 360stage...u know the statue...the one with his arms spread wide open :shock:

an amazing show!!! we took my 10 year old son and walked in after the main rush for GA, got a spot for him on the rail, outer circle. He loved his first U2 show.
I made it out to the show , despite my hesitance with sickness. Stayed sober and drank LOTS of water.
It was too f'n hot last night.
Someoine in my section ( 101 ) passed out 2 songs in.
( dont know if it was heat or alcohol indiuced, but wow )
Even Bono referred to it saying " If you're Irish , this is very hard " .
I know he left the stage at least twice to I assume change.
I also liked the " Beautiful Day " arrangement with the space shuttle.
Cool stuff !
These shows somehow never get old .

I am so glad you made it! what an amazing show!!!
my girlfriend went to the back of the GA at the soundboard during the encore and saw Bruce Springsteen and Bono's wife there.
Was there too... Amazing show... Our friend did not do well with alcohol and heat either... Incredible stage and got my favorite Stay, so I was very happy... Wished they finished off with bad and 40 but it was a late one so I get it...

Great skit on Letterman with Bono and The Edge, in an elevator , playing "where the streets have no name" in an elevator type of music genre.
The Edge is playing a xylophone.

i almost passed out yesterday from the heat, it really was very very hot and lucky me i had to stay outside for a mere 10 hours before the sun started to go down did get to see the edge come out and sign stuff, plus i got to hear Bad being soundchecked. i got a spot in the outer circle on the railing and got to see myself on the jumbo tron thingie during, i think, beautiful day. AND i got blessed with bono's water bottle haha. overall it was a pretty amazing show
damn my seats were empty- guess i hadnt arrived yet. When did they do this shot and di they let everyone know, or was it random? You think knowing the show was sold out, theyd take it closer to U2 coming onstage, but whatever.

Loved the show, it rained for most of the show so Bono threw in lots of snippets of songs about Rain, he sang parts of Purple Rain twice. They dedicated Stuck in a Moment to Amy Winehouse, did a full band version of Stand By me where they brought out some Somalian rapper that Bono had met that day. All and all a great show. Here's a clip of Sunday Bloody Sunday so you can see how hard it was raining at times- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=morjMjHuX1k

Because my immuno-supression is highly compromised right now, I am really really sick.
I visited my workplace on Friday, and obviously caught something very damaging to my body.
I have a bad chest cold and cough right now, with extreme weakness and fatigue.
As much as it breaks my heart , I will be unale to attend the U2 concert tomorrow night at Meadowands.
If anyone is interested in my tickets, I have a pair in the lower bowl REAR STAGE ( section 101 ) .
I will also waive the service fees and accept 200 dollars for the pair- which is less than face value.
Please let me know if youre interested, i'd hate these tickets to go to waste.
Aside from being rear -view, theyre very close to the band and actually look like theyre pretty decent.
