I went with my mate Paul to see U2. Luke had originally bought tickets but he was still in hospital at the time. We got there a bit late and caught the end of the Bravery Set. Snow Patrol were a tad tedious. But U2 rocked. Been wanting to see them since the mid 1980's they didn't disappoint. They played many of my favourite tracks. Bono did go on some rhetoric dispersal about make poverty history - a good campaign... We got relatively close to one of the massive runways which semicircled out of the stage, which Bono and the edge frequently strode along. :) They even did a Joy Division cover.. always goes down well.
