This is why Jesus invented the rock concert
And other ways I thought of beginning my U2 Fedex Field review.
-The world's biggest band wants to be the universe's biggest band.
-My ticket was $120. It would've been worth $120 without the band.
-I got dizzy watching Vertigo on the screens, and it was awesome.
-Awesome.
-How is I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight that much better live?
-Only U2: Bono spots a turbaned Sikh fan waving a U.S. flag, pulls him on stage. They sing. Bono also pulls a child out of nowhere to run laps.
-I want a swinging light-up steering wheel microphone at my job.
-Live NFL directors used to impress me. Now they need to step it up.
-The Claw! At one point, I thought there was an invisibility effect.
-Only U2: The stadium of 80,000 felt like an arena of 20,000.
-It's possible nearly everyone I know was at U2 tonight.

two things
1 – add Cousin Tim to your list (per earlier post); glad the fam is ok.
2 – did you make it in time to see any of MUSE? if so, what'd you think?
video board (and video content) was off the hook!!

Caught MUSE's last 3-4 songs, pretty good! Had no idea they'd done that song I'd heard on the radio. That was where the video boards began to blow me away — was liking watching them in a music video. However they directed the shots, I want to sit down and interview them on how they do it! Amazing pace of cuts, even beyond the preplanned effects.
