Music: Re: [u2tour] Best memory

Hey Everyone

My best memory would have to be Toronto, Rogers Centre. It was my first GA experience, so aside from the sense of community in the line the entire day, all the laughs and anticipation of an amazing show, I would say it is a toss up between two. First, based on my position (inner circle, centre across from Bono, back rail middle), Until the End of the World where the two bridges meet and Edge and Bono slap hands. It happened right over top of my head!!!! I was in shock - so much so that I only got a photo of their two hands above me (kind of a cool pic though.....lol). I had seen the show from seats in East Lansing, but being directly below them when that happened was amazing.

Secondly (and probably the winner in my opinion) was "Streets" from the inner circle. I mean, from the first note of Edge's guitar that sent chills down my spine, to when the music picked up speed and lights flicked on and the entire place was jumping 10 feet off the ground. I actually started to cry. That moment was EXACTLY why I drove 4 and a half hours alone and sat 15 hours in line in the blistering heat. I had seen it on DVD's before and it amazed me, but experiencing that moment live is something I will never, ever forget. And its the reason why I am now hooked on GA and the inner circle......lol. What a thrill for me - thanks to all of you, most of whom I have never met, but I consider great friends.

Anticipating seeing you all next tour and crying together again....

Cheers

Lianne

Ok, now that the ugliness of the GA conversation is mercifully over, let's look back on the great 360 tour. Topic: Your best memory from the tour. What will stay with you the longest? Certain song, certain moment, anything outside the concert itself?

Mine: Baltimore, MD, I'll Go Crazy Remix, standing with my 14 yr old daughter on the outer rail and Bono and Adam stop right in front of us leaning into each other goofing around with each other. We were memorized. As they walk away, we look at each other and say "That was awesome!"
