Miss Sarajevo 7-23-11

Miss Sarajevo had never been in my favorites list of U2 songs, but seeing it live that night did something to change that.  Amazing, amazing feeling. The video really only coveys the half of it.  Being there was the all of it.  Enjoy.

"Just want to thank you for standing in the rain..."

This show...it was Perfect. 

"America in the rain, singing your heart out - and it's a beautiful heart".

Perfect.

Last year, at the beginning of June, I was just about to make a post about how I was only a month away from seeing my fave band U2.  Then Bono suddenly needed emergency back surgery and I was sad, sad, sad.  The show, along with a handful of others on the 360 tour was canceled.  Thankfully German engineering put Bono's back back in joint and the tour dates were rescheduled.  

For the following year.

A whole year I had to wait!  I thought it would never come, but somehow the time flew by and here we are.  In another four days FOUR DAYS I'll be inside the stadium trying to take it all in and make it last...

Soon

U2 No Line On The Horizon

Next year U2 will come. Next Year....

Waiting Patiently

(Insert enthusiastic post about attending upcoming U2 concert here.)

*Sigh* Get well soon, Bono.

Handsome

On a huge U2 kick recently. I'm posting this video for my own complete aural-ocular pleasure. Feel free to partake.
