This picture was taken at around 5:15 and it shows all the people BEHIND us in line. Keep in mind we were not close to being in the front of the line. The line wound around the sidewalk around the stadium.
Muse was the opening act, and they melted our faces off with their guitar solos. We really like the song 'Starlight'. They were really terrific and a lot of fun, but we were there to see U2. When they came out, the stadium went bananas. Bono was jumping up and down and yelling.
The stage for the tour was amazing. The center stage rotated around at one point so that the people behind the stage could see them. But it was for the most part pointed at us. We were about 6 or 8 people from the outside ring where they walk around.
The structure of the stage was supposed to look like a spacecraft. It sorta had a reptilian look to it too.
The bridges from the center stage to the outer ring also rotated. So when The Edge was walking on the bridge it rotated towards us and he stepped off right in front of us. It was a pretty crazy set.
The screen was also pretty incredible. During the middle of the concert it came apart and was in these diamond shaped frames. It looked really sweet. Then it came back together and was lower than originally so that you could see this other thing that lit up over the screen.
During the second encore Bono wore this jacket that had lights attached to it and he swung from his microphone which was hanging from the ceiling (like he did on Saturday Night Live). It was a fun concert. Our favorite highlights of the show were probably Mysterious Ways, Elevation, Still Haven't Found, Beautiful Day, Breathe, and Magnificent. But everything was pretty great.
