U2 Vertigo Tour
Tuesday, October 25, 2005
Last nite Erika and I went to the U2 show at the palace, it was sold out and we had a great time.
Just getting into the parking took about 30 minutes from exit 79 which is only 2 miles away. Once we got in there we went to our seats and the show started about 15 minutes later. The show opened with City Of Blinding Lights, the song is ok but the backdrop and stage show was amazing. U2 has these lights that roll up and are lowered at certain points in time that will display pictures and all different colors. The stage was an oval ramp where everyone took turns running around it.
One of the highlights was when Bono asked everyone to pull out their cell phones and iluminate the arena, he said it looked like the milky way galaxy. Cells have become the modern day lighter to hold up. Bono went on about politics throughout the night but was not pushy or left/right leaning. He focused more on human rights and his new One campaign designed to stamp out poverty around the world. I was disappointed that more songs were not played from Achtung Baby, that is their best cd and just hearing One wasn't enough. Oh well, I can just think back to the Zoo TV tour and remember how good that one was. I am glad that we went, it wasn't my favorite show but it was good none the less and U2 are our generations Rolling Stones. What impresses me the most about U2 is that they are still together after 25 years and never broke up, took a break or rotated band members. Erika and I were talking and could not come up with another band that is still together putting out music that hasn't had some kind of lineup change or break.
