This show was the most amazing thing I have ever experienced. I have been a U2 fan for quite a few years, but this is the first time I'd been able to see them in concert. I enjoyed the entire experience -- from waiting in line for 14 hours with some of the friendliest and most entertaining fans you could hope to meet, to walking around the building after the show hearing U2 music still blaring from people's car radios.

I and the friend I went with were one of the first few lucky ones to get into the ellipse. We happened to get front row, center, right in front of Bono... nothing to block our view. When U2 took the stage, it was completely surreal. To see these men that I have adored for so long in the FLESH... mind-blowing. Every song was performed to the highest standard. With my perfect view and the incredible setlist, I was sure my life could not get any better. How wrong I was... The music for With or Without You kicked in, and Bono came and pulled ME out of the crowd. I found myself onstage, being held/sung to/kissed by Bono himself! I think it goes without saying that that was the highlight of my night... if not my life. I'm still trying to get this insane grin off of my face.
