U2 Concert Review: 05/30/2001 at Auburn Hills by Justin from ND

It's obvious to everyone that the show was absolutely fantastic. So, I want to point out that I believe Bono's speech about "slavery" was actually in reference to the third world debt problem. He mentioned that some people were slaves to our nations. One can find more information on this subject by searching "Jubilee 2000" or "Drop the Debt."
Also, I'd like to give credit to the first group of people in line (who I took a picture of) for arriving so early. Four a.m. was early enough to be first in Minneapolis, but it was only early enough to be about 25th in Auburn Hills.
Next order of business: Gone. It blew me away. This was not played in Minneapolis and we were hoping to hear it.
The only negative points of this experience were not being first in line, the denial of beer on the floor, and the fact that I lost to my little brother in Risk while waiting in line.
