U2 remix

Last night I went to the U2 360 show (yes, this is the second one for me) - this time it was in DC & was another fab experience. The highlight was going with both my brother & sister - we're all logging 2 concerts this tour: MB saw them in NYC last week, J will see them in Atlanta next week, and I saw them in Dublin in July. Good times!

As far as how the 2 shows compared . . . I think I liked the set list better in Dublin, although there were some songs last night that I didn't hear there. So I guess the real answer is that I'm glad I got to see them twice :) The Claw (their stage/set) was cooler last night simply because it was darker outside than it was in Dublin. And I still loved the I'll Go Crazy remix - I hope they record that version & sell it! The only downer at our show was the RIDICULOUS stadium employee who kept telling people to SIT DOWN. At a U2 show. So annoying. Eventually our section just banded together & ignored her.

I'll add some pictures to this post later - in the meantime, set list is below. And if you're a die-hard U2 fan, this link will take you to a good rundown of last night's show.

The only sad part is that it's over . . . road trip to Charlottesville on Thursday night, anyone?!
