Last night's U2 concert was certainly larger than life, a spectacle of lights, flashes, crazy loud sound, and masterful music. Sigh. Highlights: I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight, Beautiful Day, City of Blinding Lights, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, One...

Of course, there was preaching. Iran. AIDS. Africa. Burma. Teddy Kennedy. Ugh. And this review encapsulates the concert the best I've seen. Yeah, it was a shorter show. Yeah, Blue Room? Yeah, nada from Zooropa? Hell, I was happy they skipped Pride, which is now tied with New Year's Day and Sunday Bloody Sunday as my least favorite, way over-played U2 songs. I also wanted to hear The Fly. And yeah, it started out too slow. But hey, the music is awesome. So glad I went.
I believe this is the show I saw them last.
