Though I am not a concert-goer, my son pursuaded me to buy last-minute tickets (they do exist!! 30 EUR, behind the stage) for the 360-concert (Brussels, 22-SEP). And I never regretted it a bit!! Best-spent 30 EUR (well, 60 since we were two).
Interpol warmed up the crowd (was it me or do they sound like R.E.M.?), then Bono c.s. took over. Sorry for the uppercase, but OVERWHELMING!! Maybe not perfect soundwise (the Boudewijnstadium really is for soccer), but overall, an amazing performance of the band, in an impressive setting (all Belgian, by the way: stage & light/video). Main set: Best of U2, powerfully brought by Bono. Truely sorry I can't make it for the 2nd show, because I would if I could...
