Tonight is the last show on U2's US tour and it's here in Pittsburgh.

Jackie bought the ticket 8 months ago.

I'm just in a really bad mood and not feeling like dealing with 20,000 people.

sigh.

Argh!

That's really too bad Mike. That's a band I would really love the chance to see.

I'm sure when the show starts you'll totally forget about feeling crummy!

I just listened to With or Without You about a dozen times in a row. What an amazing song.

Well, I'm in a slightly better mood.

It was a good show, and I need to emphasize SHOW. The stage was way over the top. As for the band, they were okay. The mix was obviously "sweetened" in places. There was a song where Larry Mullens was wearing a conga drum around his neck and walked around the narrow stage that went though the crowd. A drum track played the whole time whether or not he was playing. There were additional vocals, keyboard and guitar parts that were obviously triggered through midi here and there throughout the show. I expect that from some pop act like Brittney Spears, I don't expect that from U2. The sound itself was poor at the beguining and was mediocre by the end of the show.

It will make a great DVD.

On top of that we had a group that took up the whole row behind us. They were drunk as hell before the show started and fought with each other, talked and stumbled around through the whole show. Wonderful.

Attendance was over 64,000, that's a lot of people for a concert. The only other time U2 played Pittsburgh was in May of 1981. They played in a local nightclub called the Decade Lounge.
