My first U2 concert... AMAZING! Bought 2 tickets at $40 each online about a month before the show. On the day of the concert, we left Sacramento at 4pm. We drove directly to the coliseum in time to pay $40 to park (sigh). Wandered around the coliseum trying to find our cheapest of seats. A security guard was very helpful and told us how to get to our seats. Then he suggested that since the show was not sold out, we might be able to find a seat anywhere and just move if the ticket holders showed up. So we found the best seats in the house on the top level directly in from of the stage.

I hadn't payed attention to who was going to play before U2. The local band Moonalice, that played first was really quite good. Then when Lenny Kravitz came on I was hugely shocked and amazed. Really? I thought - I get to see Lenny AND U2 for 40 bucks a ticket?! HA!! I had always wanted to see Lenny. At that point the parking fee didn't bother me any more.

Now for U2... there really are no words. I cried. I laughed. I screamed. I danced. I sang. I jumped for joy. I kissed and hugged my girlfriend. I thanked God for my blessed life!

Now I know why people follow U2 around the world from concert to concert. If I could afford it I definitely would too.

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day
