Concert:November 20, 2001
Arco Areana, Sacramento Ca.


Well where to even begin,I am still sitting here pinching myself wondering if I was in a dream. I am a huge fan of U2 but this was my first concert that I have attended of as we know "The greatest rock band in the world!" It was absoulutely incredible, the boys come out the crowd was going wild. They opened up with Elevation, excellent choice, great song to get the crowd started. They sounded incredible, I must say they are one of the few bands that sound better than ever in concert. During the song Peace on Earth views of Martin Luther King came across the screen and everybody was holding up lighters it was a very moving moment in the concert. At one point Bono grabbed the American Flag the crowd just roared. I will forever see in my mind the image on the screens of all who were lost in the Sept. 11th attack during the song One. It seriously gave me chills. I also loved the way they sang Stuck in a Moment just incredible.U2 does such a great job of grabbing there fans and moving them in such awsome ways. They are so heart felt in there songs and the way that they deliver them just runs all the way through you. One of my favorite parts was when Bono grabbed the camara man onto the heart from the center of the heart. While up there Edge came around for some shots with Bono that I know are going to be incredible. But to top it off they closed with Walk on and a great ending it was. I will tell you what I have never been to a concert that has brought me to tears, and it wasn't the sadness of the names, it was the incredible emotion of pure bliss and excitement that runs through you like you have never felt before. I give this concert a definet A+ in my books. All I can say is they better come back here soon I am ready for the next one! Oh and I want to thank U2 for the inspiration that they have endowed upon me......Thanks for the show of my life guys.....Christy
