It was fantastic, thankee verra much. ;)

Pea ess- you know you fully can't measure U2 by their popular tunes that every one knows, eh? :P And you certainly can't judge them by their recent music. I didn't really become a hard-core fan until this year, when I started listening to their albums in full...and BANG I was hooked. I'd recommend giving some of those 80S albums a go...cos they really are quite dreamy. ;)

Ok, Ezza, stop trying to convert everyone...

Great review, and I'm so glad your first U2 experience was a great one!

And Bono totally hams it up towards the end, when makes his way down the ramp, half crawling, half limping (heee…), and then lights up a firework when he gets to the end.

When he lit the firework in Adelaide, he was a TOTAL GIRL. Jumped back about three feet when it took. We all laughed :-) AND YES OMG HE IS A *TINY* LITTLE MAN :-)

I can't begrudge you One Tree Hill, but *snf*. One Tree Hill.

Hehe, cute! Did he do that for the Sydney shows too? I thought it was such an awesome touch, man...suited the song perfectly, and it looked so awesome with him singing that snippet of TATHTBA, with all the smoke swirling around him...*shiver*

What did you think was the best show you went to? Have you done your Sydney write-up in full yet?

AND YES OMG HE IS A *TINY* LITTLE MAN :-)

Heee! He's got such short, stumpy little legs...it's hilarious! *g*

I can't begrudge you One Tree Hill, but *snf*. One Tree Hill.

Yeah. One Tree Hill. *smug*

lydia_petze December 9 2006, 22:45:10 UTC

I thought you might have put that in there for me :-)

So, I think you like U2 a little? *grins*

cabaiste84 December 9 2006, 23:05:45 UTC

Best band in the world, mate...

Serious, I ADORE those boys. One thing you must know about me is that I'm utterly obsessed with all things Irish...and I discovered U2 (as I said in my post) when I was 15, and I was at the very height of my Hibernophile phase. But yeah, as someone of Irish ancestory, their music has particular resonance for me. And, even though I discovered them before I was a Christian, their songs have really spoken to me from a spiritual point of view, especially over the past year.

So yeah, I think they're fantastic. Although, their 80s music, for me, will always be the best. ;) It was such a blessing to get to see them live. Bring on the next tour!

Glad you enjoyed it, m'dear! Sorry bout the wait. Owing to my cramped living arrangements at the moment, I don't quite have the luxury of staying up 'till all hours, blogging away...:P

And I work. And procrastinate. A lot. :P So yeah...

I think you were NOT enthusiastic enough. Come on. It was U2.....

Heh. Well, I could have been a lot more fangirlish than I was. But, that would have disturbed some folks, methinks.

Bono Vox indeed. ;)

Britomart brings the awesome...

Is that photo of the same gig, or another one with the same stage?

Which one? The One Tree Hill pic? That was taken from the gig the day before, on the Friday. Same lighting, though.

Aww, 2000 Erin ;)

I had the weirdest freaking dream the other night, speaking of my 2000 self...will have to catch you up...

Uh you do know cheesemakers is from Life Of Brian ;)

I've never seen Life of Brian. But OMG BONO IS A MONTY PYTHON FAN???!!! Brilliant! Man, he really is perfect...despite the fact he's happily married, and bit short for me, and can't dance to save himself...:P

Super secret books, ayyye?????

Just The Hollow Men. Man, what a circus...

Music is everything, hurray

Uh-huh....:D
