What an
incredible concert! Damn, the biggest and best I've been to. Not as
amusing as Def Leppard, but
still, pretty freaken good!
--> We got
TANKED on the Friday night when we arrived.
Here is
a video of a bit of what went down. Dear God, my Mum must be so
proud. I've had to censor a part of the video where Richard discusses
his philosophical outlook on the current state of Fusion reactors in
Europe because it was so, um, hmm... just watch it... :-)
We started
the Saturday off in sweet style, watching the All Blacks STOMP
the Lions into the dirt in the first test. We where at a pub called the
Wool Shed. We arrived at 7:30 and the queue had already gotten quite
long!
We still
managed to get a sweet possie to watch the game:
After the
game we chilled out for a couple of hours and then after a few more
Guinness:
...headed
off down to Croke Park for the concert. Here's a few snaps to give you a
taste of the concert and the capacity crowd:
As you can
see above, even mutant half people where there, everyone loves U2.
Bonno did
his expected preach about saving the world, but he didn't drag it on too
long, most of the time he was rocking:
U2 had and
AWESOME stage setup. The entire wall behind them was capable of
displaying whatever the hell they wanted, from special effects:
We were
about 15 meters to the left of the grey sound station you can see in
this pic:
Bonno also
got this guy out of the audience who was holding up some sign. He asked
him if he wanted to sing and he said, "Nah, give me the guitar". He then
proceeded to play an entire song with U2 on stage!!! What a bloody
legend. You can see him here, holding the black guitar (He was Canadian,
one up for you, Amy!):
Cullen and I
thought it was all pretty darn good:

(I think
it's one of my better ones as far as an idea coming together is
concerned. Shows the stadium filling up and a taste of what it was like
to be in the crowd)
