So we went to the U2 concert at Soccer (FNB) stadium last night.....and as I've mentioned before, I am not really a fan, but I was blown away!!!
They played about 50% of their older stuff, and some songs i did not even know. Yes, they did use backing tracks, which was integrated with the "Visual Spectacle" that made the show a stunner.......hey, I'm not a "review writer" either, but my take was that this was the SECOND BEST show I have ever seen, in terms of pure entertainment and professionalism ...... after the Rolling Stones at Ellis Park 1995.
I was a bit disappointed with the sound mix for The Springbok Nude Girls, IMHO, it was pathetic ....just can't figure how the SA engineers just don't get it right. The band before them (don't know who they were) was mixed a helluva lot better......
I would like to see what Squonk thought of the show....(U2)! I suspect he's probably still sleeping.....hahaha Btw.... the "CLAW" sent Eli over the moon!!!! He loved the show, and is now an ardent U2 fan.. ?
The show ended at about 11:25pm, and we were home by 00:32am ....... awesome!!!
