Guess where I'll be tonight?!
Under 12 hours and I'll be listening to these guys! This is the 4th time I've seen U2 in concert...I went to the Zoo TV tour and Pop Mart in the early and mid 90's. And then I saw them a couple years ago for the Elevation tour. Needless to say, I'm a little excited!! They put on the greatest show I've ever seen.

My sister, who has the U2 iPod and the ultimate edition of U2 songs from iTunes (which is every song they have ever recorded...I think it's like 485 songs!!) made up a playlist of the songs that they are going to sing tonight and she's been listening to them at the office all week. My sister is awesome:-)

Posted by: Lolly at April 21, 2005 11:16 AMOh man, oh man, I am SO envious! I haven't seen a U2 show since I was a freshman in college(Joshua Tree), though I did get to see them in a small venue once upon a lifetime ago (1983?)
I only have one thing to say to you.Touch BOno and die!!!!
Posted by: cara at April 21, 2005 01:51 PMHey, my mommy is great! I'm sad that I can't come with you - but I'll have fun at home with my babysitter. Love, your favorite niece, Alice
Posted by: Alice at April 21, 2005 03:03 PMCan't say I'm jealous or anything, but that's cool that you're going! Hope you have a great time.
Posted by: Wanda at April 21, 2005 03:13 PMso. very. jealous.
Posted by: Lara at April 21, 2005 11:54 PMYea -- how much fun!!! They were my first concert ever (Joshua Tree which so dates me), and I also went to the Zoo tour! So jealous.
Posted by: Jenifer at April 22, 2005 07:30 AMI'll just repeat what everyone else said SO jealous!
I was SUPPOSED to see them on the Elevation tour but the tickets didn't get to me until the day AFTER the show (stinkin' USPS).
My boyfriend has literally every CD (live, studio and bootleg) and a very interesting CD of the Pet Shop Boys doing U2 songs.
Can't wait to hear about how wonderful it was!!!

Posted by: tara at April 22, 2005 01:53 PMI'm so jealous. I'm not going to see them until June 14th in Manchester, England. I've been a fan since they released New Year's Day and have also seen them on the Joshua Tree and Zooropa tour (twice, once in Berlin and again in Glasgow).
I can't wait to hear what you thought!
