And here I thought that last night's concert was superb. Well, it was superb; read my last night's review. But this was something else, this was simply a miracle. It felt as if MCI Center had become an arena of heaven. I am changed after tonight's show. Last night I was worried that my feelings about were not there, but now, I can feel every bit of U2 in me.

The show was excellent, top notch. I can still feel it in my veins. In my head the intro to "One" keeps echoing. I just took a shower, and the shurr sound of the water sounded like the great crowd of tonight's show.

I got to the venue at 3 pm and saw a long line. I wasn't expecting that many people that early. After standing for 2 hours I began to contemplate the situation. I started questioning myself whether it was worth it to stand for 10 hours for the show. I didn't get the Ellipse, I was hoping for it but I didn't feel too bad about losing it. By the time I got on the floor, my feet were dead, my spine had disappeared, I felt poisoned, I felt dehydrated, I felt NUMB. But then the lights went down, and "City of blinding lights" began with it's shimmering glory. And I realized why I stood for 10 hours, because I loved every bit of U2, and I would do anything to watch them play live.

The concert was to die for. All my previous mixed feelings about the show became very clear, and my smile kept getting wider, and wider. It brought me back to life, it made me feel complete, it made me feel like there is no other band but U2.

The setlist was pretty good in this show, they played "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses" and that song alone was worth waiting for 10 hours of obliterating pain.

However, the best moment really arrives when I heard the bells of "Bad" and that was it for me. That song made the entire show much better than last night. It was beautifully performed, and in the end Bono recited some poetry: "People have the power." But then the show ended, and I could tell people were expecting more. At least I was expecting the ending song to be "40" just like last night, and last night's show had a great ending. But no worries, the show was so brilliant that you can forgive all of that and simply sustain a moment of complete magnificence.

The light show was simply phenomenal. I really enjoyed the lighting in "Miss Sarajevo," "Love and Peace or Else" and of coarse "With or without you."

All throughout the show there were constant moments of astonishment. Seeing the band so up-close truly was a treat. The show was great, better than last night. Today was probably one of the best days of my life. I had loads of fun, and good time with the rest of the crowd that was around me on the floor.

I wish I could do it all over again. Then again, who doesn't? Us U2 fans are very different from all the other bands. We are very loyal to our U2, and we know our U2 more than anyone else. We all know how ultimately fantastic we feel whenever we listen to U2, watch them play live, or do anything else. U2 is more than just a band to me. It is a way of life; lifestyle. U2 have given me so much more than just music. U2 is supernatural, they are extraordinary, they are from the beyond. Their music is so distinct that you waste no time in figuring out whether some song is U2 or not. U2 is my favourite band, and I am far from being the only one. U2 has a whole army of loyal fans who are willing to do anything for them. But in the end, it is all worth it. Thank you.

Take care of one another!

Cheers!!
