U2

I've been waiting over a year for this concert! Bono injured his back last year and had to have surgery, and the rest of the tour had to be canceled.  We were bummed.  And then several weeks later (actually, it may have been months later?!), I received the following email from my friend:

Hi!!! I just heard the news that U2 has rescheduled their tour. The Philly concert is now on for Thursday, July 14, 2011. How does that date work for you? :)

My response:

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Ok, seriously?! How the heck am I supposed to know what I'm doing in JULY 2011?!?!?! Well...actually, I guess I DO know what I'm doing...I'm going to see U2!!

Well, at least we had something to look forward to, right??  It's so crazy how fast time flies.  I can't believe it's now July 15, 2011, and the concert has come and gone.  But it was well worth the wait.  What a phenomenal show!  It was one of those "once in a lifetime" kind of events.  I'm thinking that's the best concert I've ever seen when it comes down to lighting, stage, sound, and flat out performance.  No one quite compares to Bono...

Oh, and how cool is it that Bono gave a shout out to Clair Bros. and Tait Towers?!  Our very own Lititz hometown sound and stage companies.  Let's just say that they deserved the props!

Well, unfortunately I was not quite this close, but here's just a little taste of the evening from someone who was there.  But it doesn't even come close to capturing the spectacular enormity of the evening. 

I think this was actually my view at the time...
