I remember going to Toys R Us for the first time when I was 8 and how I thought that was the biggest place I had ever seen in my life....well, I had that same feeling again on Friday in Brussels. The turnout of fans was astronomical! I won't review the show as you can read countless others, just to things that stand out. One funny moment was at the end of "city of blinding....", Adam was playing the single note piano part, but he played the wrong notes which were way off key. He glanced at Bono and kind of smiled like "ooops." Bono did the same. The other thing that stands out and it sent chills though me was during "sometimes you cant..." when Bono hit the high notes in the middle of the song, the cameraman who was locked on him, was filming him from behind while Bono stood on one of the stages in the audience. You could see the fans over Bonos shoulder and that he was looking at them too and right at the moment of "can-you-hear-me-when-I-sing" , a fan holds up a poster of Bonos Mom and Dad, the pictures copied from the "unforgettable fire" documentary book. Bono clearly saw this and finished singing the song while looking at the post of his mother and father. The camerman also must have notice this and continued to film at that angle. It was quite amazing to see......
