U2 Vancouver BC October 2thousand9

U2
You and me.
and 60 thousand people .
Under one roof.

What to say. I'm not a huge huge fan. I don't know any of the new music, but loved a lot of the older stuff. And let me tell you this experience was unreal and powerful. I don't even know how to explain the energy in this room that night. The energy of 60 thousand people.
A small city, feeling the same thing at the same time.
Nut bar.

At the time i had some many thoughts of what i wanted to say to explain what i was thinking of this whole night, and it came to me like a brilliant rush and now it's gone, and feels like a dream.

I was astounded that a group of musicians could create such a powerful feeling through so many people like this. To have them captivated and singing every word.
It was a cool and creepy feeling at the same time.

The one song that i was hoping and waiting for all night... was "Where the streets have no name".. that was my pick....and it was great. It started out with Bono singing amazing grace that melded into Where the streets. The build up at the beginning of that song always gets me. Starts out quiet and slow and then ...drums.... " i want to run... I want to hide.."
Ahh good stuff.

So, an amazing experience that I'm glad I got to have.
Thank you Jaime for bring me along on your trip.
