So last weekend I saw U2, again. As I predicted it was an amazing show, of course that's kind of like predicting that the Cubs won't win the world series.
The show did start off a tad slow, four straight songs from their new album. The overall song selection did leave me scratching my head a bit, but how do you pick from such an awesome catalog of music?
Perhaps the highlight of the show was when Bono said "it's Sunday night, welcome to our house, lets go to church" then they proceeded to play "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For". For most of the first verse the band played very quietly and Bono held the mic to the crowd, 70,000 people singing, "I have climbed the highest mountains
I have run through the fields Only to be with you Only to be with you.", best worship service I've been to since... well the last time I saw U2.
We drove home that night, 5 hours of Illinois in the middle of the night. But it's great to have times like that with my brother, talking about the things we care about, trying to keep each other awake, and dreaming out loud.
