Music: RE: [u2tour] Re: Best memory

that must be the best memory ever Lisa.

I will never forget back in 1989 on the "Love Comes to Town" tour in Sydney when my sister and I waited at the back door for a couple of hours and at about 1.30am the boys came out to about 50 people still waiting. Bono, Larry, Edge and Adam greeted us all one by one and thanked us for waiting, and the highlight was when one of the fans lifted their guitar over the fence and Bono gave the guitar to Edge who tuned it up and we all sang "Stand by Me" in the misty wee morning hours - unbelievable.

We returned the next night only to find the crowd was let inside the gates, I was bummed I didnt bring my camera and the boys allowed anyone to have their photos taken with them. However I did take my hardcover "Unforgettable Fire" book which Bono and the rest of the boys signed for me, I have that as one of my treasures now.

For the 360 Tour, my highlight was being inside the Red Zone at the Sydney Concerts, with my daughter at the bottom of one of those bridges to catch the guys walking from the inner to outer stages during the concert, the best bit was the "Go Crazy" number getting a great sound and closeup with Larry and the bongos, and Bono and Edge and Adam.

I am also grateful that my kids genuinely love U2 as well - it is something of a bridge for the age gap - when we talk U2 there is none.

Enjoy your Beautiful Days

Hi all:

I posted some links to the videos of Bono pulling me up on stage in Denver on the opening night of the NA 360 tour, and per some requests, am also posting some links to the pics too.
Enjoy!! I did! ;-)
It's A Beautiful Day!
Lisa

> Wow...Great question and a great way for everyone to share! Best memory...for me...opening night of the NA tour on May 21st. Amazing day in Denver. Some friends of mine and I flew to Denver from Austin for the show. It was a bit of a homecoming for me because I was born and grew up in denver but moved to Austin almost 10 years ago... Saw the majority of my U2 shows in Denver, too. So going back for this was special. Little did I realize how special it would be.
> I was the girl Bono pulled up on stage for the reading of the poem. In fact, people ask me if it was planned and it definitely wasn't. In fact, right before he pulled me up he was looking for his "Three Sisters"...(come SLC, he found his Three Sisters :-) ) So...it was amazing, crazy, unbelievable, magical...thanks to some WONDERFUL fellow U2 fans ive got amazing video and pictures to cherish forever. Hopefully by the time my sweet baby girl who is 1 now....is 10....she'll think its cool, too ;-)
> Thats my favorite 360 memory...well that and Larry's amazing, insightful, fantastic concert updates and videos. Still cant thank you enough Larry! You are a gem :-)

> Cheers everyone! Here's looking forward to them "Dreaming it up all over again" for the next U2 adventure :-)
