Well, better late than never finally posting this review. This was my 3rd show of this tour and 12th overall since the War tour. Flew into to Tampa from VA, got there around 930 am and was picked up by my girlfriend Terry and we headed to the St. Pete Times Forum. We waited about an hour in line when they released tickets. We got 2 right behind the soundboard. This was a special night cause she had not seen U2 since Zoo TV. I think she was more excited to see the boys than me. All I can say is what a difference it makes seeing the show straight on. I had been on the side my 2 previous shows so I did not get the full effect of the light curtains. It was great to hear UTEOTW again. This is one of the best live U2 songs there is. The show was great except for the drunken morons next to us who spent most of the show yapping there traps and at one point one of the idiots full over the seats and hit his head on the floor. I don't understand how people can spend that kind of money on tickets and get so trashed they probably won't remember the concert anyway. The most important things was that Terry got to see U2 again and she had a great time.
