U2

Landover, Maryland (That's a mile or two outside Washington D.C., Where the Redskins Play.)
September 29, Tuesday

Verizon (Blackberry) sent a few complimentary tickets to Clint's office when they asked for a quote on scads of new lines and the hardware that they would require. So Clinton took me to the 360 tour.

I have a lot of things to say about Muse (who opened) and none of them very nice.

That said, you couldn't have known that I wasn't into U2. I knew at least half the songs they did and rocked out on the songs I didn't know anyway. I rocked out for during those unknown-to-me songs in honor of those of my friends who were green with envy, are true fans, and would have known all the lyrics.

For the record, I did know Bono before, and it didn't take me too long to figure out the Edge and his status. (Admittedly, I was initially intrigued by the bass player more - he had a sparkly guitar strap.)

I thoroughly enjoyed the show. The stage was amazing. The view was pretty good. We were on row 7 at about the 45 yard line. My favorite complaint about U2 is that their songs all sound the same; wasn't the caseduring the concert. It was amazing fun, lots of energy, lots of enthusiasm, good entertainment, interaction, good music. I'd have to say the Edge has gained my attention.
