OUT OF THIS WORLD

[This post is 2 weeks late]


Last night Jeff and I went to the 
U2 concert. 
I was not prepared for the spectacle we were to behold. 

It has been called the biggest rock tour in history, costing more than $750,000 per show, according to Rolling Stone. I wasn't a hard-core U2 fan before the concert- but Bono won me over. It was fantastic.


"The 360-degree stage--which allowed huge numbers of fans to watch from behind--featured a 90-foot-tall steel structure, topped by a center pylon reaching 150 feet in the air; the innovative video screen atop the stage weighs 54 tons... including components to illuminate 500,000 pixels... as well as 150,000 machined pieces."


[I was in such a rush to get ready that I forgot to bring my camera. Blast.Very uncharacteristic of Claire Pingree.]


So here is my pathetic phone picture from the eeeediot that forgot her camera. 

And a phone vid

There were some truly awe-inspiring moments, as there is very little on Earth like the sound of thousands and thousands of people singing together.

In the words of Jack Black, Bono is out there on the front lines liberating people with his music. 

In conclusion, the concert was BOSS. Wonderful music, great weather, excellent company.


There's only a week and a half left before I head home for the summer. THE CLOCK IS TICKING and I don't like it one bit.

This quote that I used to see on my piano teacher's wall keeps coming to mind...
