Wow....what a couple of days in the greatest concert city in Canada, Vancouver. After barely recovering from the sensory overload of the first night, my friend and I had GA tickets for the second. We decided due to the lottery and how hot the stadium was the night before to just wait and stay at the back on the floor and arrive just before showtime instead of waiting in line all day. The concert started off incredibly and the crowd was right into it from the start, the band sounded much more clearer and the perspective from the floor was great. Right after a STRONG performance of "An Cat Dubh" I was just goin crazy when a lady came up to my friend and asked for his wrist and then mine....my God I thought....could this be...and sure enough off to the elipse we were taken!!! Well sh$%t, words dont even do justice to the experience that followed...I will let you imagine...thanks U2 and their crew for giving me an experience of a lifetime...Of my eight shows I never thought Vegas in 2001 would be beat...it just got rocked!
