U2 Concert Review: 06/08/1997 at Philadelphia by David Hensel

by David Hensel

I've been a U2 fan since I was twelve years old. I'm almost twenty one now and the band has come along way since then. They proved that on this night. My first U2 show ever and it was everything I hoped it would be. For me, it's hard to describe how great it felt being there that night. It was the best two hours of my life. They played pretty much all my favorite tunes, the old and the new. All of it sounded like it could have been released yesterday. All the props were a nice bonus, particularly the screen which was a big help for me since I was in the bleachers at the far end of the stage. But the reason I was there was to see my favorite band and they were unbelievable. Bono has said that with this tour he wants to give rock a kick in the ass and on this night, they couldn't have done a better job with it. Great show.
