Some U2 concert photos from 5/24

[Vermontcat]

I finally had enough time to go through my U2 concert photos from 5/24.
Our seats were pretty good for the lights and big screens.
It was a great concert even though it was pouring rain when we left.

Here is the fleet of U2 trucks at the Fleet Center.


They played some of their older songs too, I love the old ones.


The view from our seats without the zoom.


Ooh! Pretty colors!

That's so neat! I bet the concert was totally awesome! I really like their older stuff a lot too.

Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own.
This is Bono's new song for his late father Bob.
It was neat the way the giant man in lights was walking in sync with Bono on the catwalk.


Love and Peace or Else, another great new song that's amazing live.


Bono singing One.


The light curtains were really cool.

A view of the crowd.


And an encore shot.


That's it for that concert. I still need to look at my photos from the 5/26 concert.
I hope to have those photos ready to post in a couple of days.
We had better seats on the 26th and a closer view for an amazing concert.

Aww, your photos are great!! I'm so pleased that you enjoyed it so much!

I have to be honest, their old stuff is really all I know. I think the last U2 CD I got was the Joshua Tree. Until you started your U2 threads, I really had no idea that they were still so popular! I think of their peak as around about the time of Live Aid!

(I'll just crawl away under my rock now ...)

Thanks Wolflady and Killearn Kitties.
They are going to tour Europe now until the end of the summer.
Killearn Kitties, tell me that you haven't heard of Vertigo or Elevation or Beautiful Day then I will believe that you have been hiding under a rock.
I would say that U2 and the Rolling Stones are the two biggest rock bands right now and they are both on tour now.
All the U2 concerts are sold out within minutes of going on sale.
I should have my photos from the second concert ready to post this weekend.
Oh and KK, I love the Joshua Tree and the War albums but their new songs are quite good too.
Yes they were The Band of the 80's but they are still going after 25 years!

I'm happy that you have updated me. I feel a bit more knowledgeable now!

Get ready Lut! Their next concert is June 10th in Brussels Belgium at the King Baudouin Stadium!
How far are you from Brussels?
Those trucks carry the stage setup and lights and a lot of equipment including 38 guitars for Edge!
They are doing a different stage setup for the European shows because they are going to be bigger crowds in outdoor arenas.

Thanks for the replies.
I am going to start a new thread with the photos from the 2nd concert now.
