How close we got to the stage

A happy pixie before the show

We are so close to the stage, so close you can't even see it. I loved how they put themselves right up next to everyone

Full stage view

Opening was Gavin's Rosdale's new band (used to be in Bush)

U2 has the best set up, if you're in a floor seat then you get randomly selected by lottery as you enter, to be in that senter "eclipse". We did not get picked, but that's okay! Sadly, Jesse went to get beers and never got back to me in the crows, SO RUDE, people where disgustingly rude. I was shocked. So Jesse was not with me for even ONE U2 song, that sucked... I cried some cause I couldn't find him and I was half drunk, and wanted to have him gold me for atleast one song, to have the memory. He felt really awful, and promised we would go to the next U2 concert that came our way. He bought me some cool shwag to make amends.

Bono did this amazing thing, he had a bandana on, it had the symbol for Mohamad I think, then the star of david, and the cross. He said this really cool little ryhme. He said something like "Mohamad, Jew and Jesus too, all sons of Abraham" and then something like "what happend to you're sons, abraham?". It was just so... wild. The moment, the whole crowd screaming in approval and well. I can't totally explain it but it was cool. It was weird to see bono with the star of david in the middle of his forhead, he was making a statement, about peace and brotherhood. Saying we are all brothers (ehem.. sisters!) and we should all love one another, and treat each other equal.

They also made some statements about human rights, and fair trade. Loads of stuff. He got the whole entire audience to take out their cellphones and hold them up, it was like... the stadium was a giant christmas tree covered in lights. He had everyone send a text message, to use their voice to end poverty and aids. Go to one.org to find out more. I sign up this morning. You're just signing you're name. At the end of the concert the names of people who had signed up appeared above on the screens.

It was an amazing concert, I loved the simplicity of everything. At the beggning it was just the stage, some cool lights, and a bunch of confetti. So cool! I'm still rather sad I didn't get to spend one moment of it with Jesse. Ah well.
