I’ve managed to prune the 1000+ photos we took in Costa Rica down to 96 for online viewing. I may be adding more but here’s a set to start. I’m working on the video and hope to release it soon as well.
Saturday night I took my sister to the U2 concert in Dallas for her birthday. We had an awesome time! This was my first time to see U2 live and it was amazing. I can’t wait to get the tour DVD later this month. I managed to sneak in a camera and took a few photos and a lot of video. The sound on the video is pretty bad but you can see the light show. The curtain of lights was really cool! One of the best parts of the show was when Bono pulled a young guy on stage to play Angel of Harlem with the band. He was holding a sign that said “ANGEL OF HARLEM. In case you forgot: ” and then listed the guitar chords. U2 hasn’t played Angel of Harlem all tour and apparently hasn’t performed it live in years. Bono asked him if he could play it and then they handed him a guitar. The guy jammed and looked like a pro up there! The band even motioned him to the front and center mic to sing! After the song the young guy traded sunglasses with Bono! That’s got to be the ultimate souvenir. U2 played hard for two hours and definitely gave us a memorable show!
