Simply by the numbers U2 360° is the most successful concert tour of all time. Over two years and two months, the band have played to more than 7million fans in 30 countries on 5 continents.
Since opening night in June 2009, the U2 360° spaceship has taken off at 110 shows. The set list at
the beginning is unrecognisable from
a set list two years later.
But it's not about the numbers - it's about the moment. The moment of surrender.
So how was it for you?
The best show you went to?
The track that captures the spirit of U2360?
The visual or staging feature that took your breath away?
The memories of a rock'n'roll tour that you'll never forget...
First to make a long story short let's start.
In 1976 I was 16 and I brought my little brother to is first show ever, he was 13 then.The show was David Bowie in the great Station to Station era.
Since that time he manage to see U2 3 times in is life, me none. He ask me if I was thinking of attending the U2 360 tour, I said I don't know, I didn't have any partner to share the evening, Can't go alone. Well he says I will go with you And I'll be your'e guide on the U2 concert universe, AND that will close the loop from 1976, You took me to my first ever show and I'm gonna return the favor to you for your first ever U2 show
After 2 years of waiting because Bono was injured, on July the 8 2011 I was there whit my BRO waiting for the show to begin, suddenlly when the band got thrue the tunnel heading toward the stage, I got stunned to hear the song that played on the speakers at that moment.
DAVID BOWIE- Space Oddity.
Ouch talking about a loop closing that was a long loop. It was like if the band knew all about our story, unbelievable feelings ran thrue my body.
the show went perfect My favorite song is *Were the streets have no name*, but for a reason that I can't explained that night it was 'the Fly".
They played the entire show straight to the end,
But after the last song schedule to play, and after the last notes the rain started pouring down on us on that hot summer night, the band seems to feel sorry for us but nobody complaint around us it seems like the energy was to high, the feeling all around me was positive energy, pouring rain with smiling fans all around me.
We walked toward the exit and suddenly a chopper flew low over our head, we knew that was the band leaving the venu, they turn south as we all waved our hands to the guy's, and we all know that they replied, they passed to salute us. That was my first U2 concert ever, hopfully not my last. What an esoteric night that was.
Thank you Bono and the " Irish royalty " .
You made a 52 years old man more than happy that night, The only thing sad about everything is that I live without being able to thank you personnaly, Hope my message will go to your'e ears because it was realy an out of my body experience. wowww I'm having to goose bumps again. Thank you again...
