Two friends and I travelled to Omaha from Kansas City yesterday afternoon excited about seeing the best band in the World, again! Between us we've seen them 14 times in all over the years, from large stadium shows in Wembley Stadium, London and the Arrowhead to smaller venues in St Louis and at Kemper Arena. Last night U2 did not disappoint us. They were truly superb! They seem to get more and more professional in their manner of entertaining a crowd, not just with their music but with their spectacular light show and their movement around the ellipse and that ending is choreographed perfectly. I sat in section 209 and my two friends had seats in 120. Right from the opening chords of Blinding Light I could sense that this wasn't the U2 crowd that I was used to being a part of in previous shows. I was the only one in my whole row who stood and sang through every song! People were chatting about their day at work when a song they weren't familiar with was being played. The couple beside me had an argument for 45 minutes about the fact that she wasn't prepared to let go!!! I'm thinking that I really am "Stuck in a moment"!!! I thought that maybe it was just my section, but when I met up with my companions after the show, they had the same feeling that there were a lot of people just there to be seen! They too had people around them sitting through the whole concert and John had several people give him strange looks when he sang along! This was definitely not a typical U2 crowd. It was typical U2 and, those of us who were there for U2, were typical of the exceptional support this band enjoys worldwide. There just wasn't the energy and letting go that we've all seen at U2 before. I looked across the floor towards the stage during the show and whereas you'd expect to see a surging, bobbing mass of excited human emotion, there were far too many people with their backs to the stage chatting and drinking. Come on Omaha, you could have done better!
