PWL 0 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I went to see U2 last night in Sheffield. It was incredible, amazing concert. Elbow were good too. Link to post Share on other sites
PWL 0 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 A few pics of the stage before and just after the start. After that, I was busy enjoying myself. Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 did they hand the hat round for noraid? Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Wonder why they played that relatively small stadium (50,000?) I was impressed too, thought it was a great concert when I saw them at Wembley. Link to post Share on other sites
PWL 0 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Seeemed really sincere and lots of Sheffield-related chat, not just the usual "said every night" stuff. Though perhaps there was a bit of that too. Had a joke about the Alevel results that were out yesterday too. "Take courage, coz whatever you got it's probably better than any of us 4 had" then went round the other band members asking them what they had. The Edge said "more than you". Funny bits of humourous chit-chat. I have never really liked Bono, perhaps silly but my estimation of him and the band has gone up after that. Anyway, really great night out.

PWL 0 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 We thought the same Bag, not sure. It was a good venue though - great summers evening and I'm sure pretty much everyone got at least a semi-decent view. Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Gotta love a decent live concert. I just wish we had a half decent venue here!! The stupid Burswood Dome has one of those held up by air pressure roofs that means a one by one entry and exit thru airlocked revolving doors. Complete cr@p! Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Will make sure I take some pic's of how STOOPID the venue is, the dumb doors, and how loooooong the queue is to get out when I am back there in October for the Black Eyed Pea's concert. Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Looking at that U2 screen and stuff..... wonder what they do with all that lot after a tour has finished. Lots of it must be highly specialised. Link to post Share on other sites
PWL 0 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 We were thinking that too! That screen was pretty amazing, never seen anything like that before. I heard the stages (they made 3 of them) themselves might be put somewhere for other people to use. Link to post Share on other sites
