The Concert

---

(I posted an entry yesterday but did not send out the emails.)

What a great night! We were among the first people let into the concert and the first to buy our t-shirts. Croke Park is huge - holds 80 000 people. It is a rugby pitch. The pitch had to be removed for the concert and U2 had to pay to put in the new pitch once the concerts are over. Approx. cost of the new pitch is 1 million.

Concert was even better than you could imagine. The crowd was amazing, on their feet screaming even before U2 hit the stage. They played for 2.5 hrs straight - a total of about 24 songs.

Hopefully the videos will work. I am going to attempt to attach them. I have realized that Sunday Bloody Sunday video is too big to post. However, ask me to see it when I get home. It is great. Joy - Magnificent is for you.

Tomorrow morning I leave for Edinburgh. My flight is at 9:15 which means I not only need to be up early but need to be organized.

screaming
What is the point of going to a concert if everyone is screaming? At the risk of sounding like your old aunt can you hear the music? I think the Beatles gave up touring when they realized no one could hear them. Glad you enjoyed it. We are enjoying Cadiz esp the ocean and beach. Enjoy Scotland Linda

Correction
Fantastic! I'm glad that you had the chance to be at the concert. U2 did not pay for that rugby pitch to be replaced, you did! Give yourself and the other screaming fans some credit. Travel carefully, Christina
