U2 At The Rogers Centre

U2 was in town this week for two sold out shows at the Rogers Centre. We caught the second show yesterday and I have got to tell you, it's a good thing the retractable roof was open, because they would of blown it off. Yes the show was that good. Too bad the seats we had were kind of shitty. We were on the second level in the last row up against the wall. And the third level was above us, so the sound bounced off the walls above and behind us and sounded a sort of muffled. Even with the shitty seats and crazy price I paid for them, it didn't stop us from enjoying one of the best concerts I have seen in awhile. Here are some shots from the show, enjoy.
The boys arrive to a full house. Our seats.Playing for a packed house of 60,000 plus screaming middle-age fans.Yup, that's Bono, over my shoulder on the right.The crazy stage.My favorite song of the night had to be Ultra Violet (Light My Way), which was played in the first encore. Bono came out in a red neon jacket and a red glowing mike drops from the ceiling and they begin to play with Bono doing his thing for the camera -- awesome. And I loved it when they turned the Rogers Centre into a huge disco ball and used the lights on the CN tower as part of the their stobe light show in a way that only U2 could pull off. And apparently, Blackberry really does love U2. No one uses lighters anymore, they use their cell phones.Only one of the biggest bands in the world today could of pulled off a concert like this. U2 did it and they did it well.
