I'm going tomorrow in the luxury box from work :)

If it sucks I'll sell my 4 tickets for the fall on ebay.

Rudey, depending on the city that they are in, I'll buy them....but it's not going to suck...the concert is great.

I forgot to write this earlier. I went to the Saturday show and sat in a box with a great view.

My impression was that the concert was good but a little too...sanitized. The ring stage was interesting but really not exciting.

Kings of Leon were OK but hardly any fans even showed up until they were off stage.

Bono said something about Coldplay being there and I think he said something in Polish (I figured it was Polish since there was a Polish event that day in Chicago) but I couldn't understand it.

As usual, I could live without the political messages from the Bono/Madonna (She did the same thing in the concert last year).

The crowd is getting older :P

Overall, good concert but not outstanding.

-Rudey

Yay! I'm gonna see U2 at Continental Airlines Arena tomorrow!

I'm gonna see them tonight at the Oakland Coliseumhttp://www.handykult.de/plaudersmili...y/dazzler1.gif

Oh hey I forgot about the second concert I saw.

Dashboard Confessional opened up for them. It's a strange matchup if you ask me.

I think I liked this concert better than the one I went to a few months before. The crowd pretended they were all Irish and could identify with Bono. Good, but not great.

--After this concert I went back to my office at 1AM because I felt the need to rock out too.

Opening Act(s): Damian Marley

Main Set: City of Blinding Lights, Vertigo, Elevation, Mysterious Ways, Until the End of the World, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - In a Little While, Beautiful Day, Miracle Drug, Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own, Love and Peace or Else, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Bullet the Blue Sky, Miss Sarajevo, Pride, Where the Streets Have No Name, One - One Tree Hill

Encore(s): Zoo Station, The Fly, With or Without You, All Because of You, Yahweh, 40

Comments: Bono and Edge add a verse and chorus from 'One Tree Hill' to the end of One. The full song hasn't been played since December, 1993, in New Zealand. And tonight's snippet is played as rumors swirl that the band is about to announce a tour of New Zealand and Australia early next year. The planned setlist shows 'Bad" as the final song, but the band chooses 40 instead.


*********************************************
From the time Bono set foot on stage the crowd was on it's feet (me too:)) This was my 1st U2 concert and it was worth every penny. AWSOME! AWSOME! AWSOME!

Bono is one charismatic fella. I saw them during the Zoo TV tour and they were great. Then I saw him and The Edge during the Mandela concert about two years ago, again, he was one charismatic fella. If he gets bored of being a rock star, he should run for a Parliament seat in Ireland and then become the Prime Minister.
