high-dollar seats were all they had left for the new Cowboys Stadium here in TX and there no way I was going to pay that much.

31. That screen (~1000 screens?) above them is insane. I see now why Bono calls it "the spaceship" |

When they started moving from a cylinder into that cone with open space I was totally "WTF!?!??"

44. Just one little quibble |
|
I didn't arrive till 11, so I missed a lot.
There are few things that annoy me as much as any performer who chooses not to sing one of their most popular songs and let the audience do it instead. Hey, Bono, everyone knows the lyrics to "With or Without You," but they paid to hear you sing it.
I'm sorry I evidently missed "One".

45. They would have to pay me to attend any of their shows. |
|
Since that one was 'free' and not 'too' bad overall (their spaceship was something to see... even on very low, crapy resolution), I thank them (and all the people who made that 'free' concert possible to watch around the world).
I understand the probable frustration of many of those who paid for it, though.

My SO got me a ticket and said "but you will have to stand". I said "you mean I will have to DANCE!" All in all a nice evening of traditional Irish music and at a volume I prefer.
