U2

This week Mike's sister Tina was in town for the U2 concert with the Black-eyed Peas as an opening band. Here they are in the pic to the to the left.

She had great tickets in the "red zone" which is a cordoned off standing room section on the floor.

I went with her on the floor and we sold my ticket to one of our friends. The day of the concert, Mike became very ill. He was sick to his stomach from when he woke up until about 2:00. We even thought that he wouldn't make the concert so we started to think of people who might want his ticket. He recovered though possibly he had food poisoning, but he's much better now.
The concert was at BC Place, which is the football stadium. That is a huge venue.

The stage took up almost half of the field. There were these massive almost spider legs coming down from the ceiling.

The stage represented the symbol on their "no line on the horizon" album and gave an amazing light show.





Between the Black-eyed Peas and U2, they truned on the lights so we got a chance to take some pictures and get some refreshments.

U2 got going and below is a pic of how the display piece of their stage was working.

There was also a kind of bridge that rotated around the stage and the band members walked around it as they played. Here is Bono below making the rounds.

It was a fantastic concert. We had a great time and I'd taken the next day off so I got to sleep in after being out late.

Tina and I had a great time this week. Next post will be what we got into at Halloween! It was explosive. :)
