It was a great show. I won't post details because I don't want to spoil them. The way they enter is classic U2, too. Funny - - the last time they did an outside stadium tour in our area was Popmart. We had GREAT seats, but the crowd ruined them for me. The security guards constantly stood in front of our seats or let their friends stand there - and I couldn't see over them. Then, while talking to security, someone stole three of the new t-shirts I had purchased (on a college student's budget at $20 a pop).
I had my best-ever U2 experience, though, when someone walking by heard me say, sadly, "This is my favorite band and I can't see over all the security guards hanging out in front of our chairs." Guy comes over and says, "I'm so sorry to hear that. I won these tickets and I'm not a big fan. I am going to leave. Why don't you take them?" FRONT ROW, CENTER!!!!
Guy standing next to me in the front row was U2's head of security. I told him the story and somehow, he managed to convince the rest of the crowd to scoot over and got me TO the stage! Not on it (this was before they really did that in every concert), but close enough I can tell you how beautiful the band is in person.
Anyhow, this concert was the opposite. I had the nosebleed seats, but had a great view and great company. For paying the least amount of money, I found our seats were better than 90% of the people there because we were looking directly down on the stage and could also see all of the effects.
Have a good time!
