For me, this show was the absolute Nirvana of U2 experiences.... To begin with, I was directly in front of Bono at the front of the arena (one person separating him from me), and it was magical to see every expression on his face, all the passion, all the intensity. And to top it off, the set list was like a DREAM.... I think I may have pierced someone's eardrum when they started "Out of Control", and the song definitely lived up to its name. Then "Party Girl" from the tip of the heart, which was something I had always longed to hear but figured I never would. By the time Bono got to "Mystery Girl" I was about to keel over from shock and elation.

It's amazing to see all the band members interracting on stage. Larry was in SUCH a good mood this night, laughing and smiling quite a lot, and he and Bono seemed to be playing a joke on each other about how to end "Even Better than the Real Thing." Larry totally cracked up.

By the time "Walk On" was halfway through, I was in tears of joy and sadness (this is my last show.... I flew in for the Boston shows from my home in India). When the incident with the fan coming on stage began, my heart stopped because I thought it had the potential of spoiling the mood of what had been the most incredible concert of my life. But Bono is such an amazing human being and showman, and managed to turn an angry incident into a moment of true triumph. This was a night we will all remember. What joy!!
