2nd U2 concert
Different seats, (lower and more towards the front with a completely unobstructed view, particularly if you just want to sit), but still an awesome, awesome show!

I might get flogged here.
I’ve seen U2 4 times on this tour. All have been good shows, some better than others.
June in
October in
But I’ve walked away from the 4 shows thinking this: it’s starting to seem like a movie with alternate endings. If you’ve seen more than one show, you know what’s coming next. You might get a surprise ending, but the body of the show doesn’t change much. Some would say that the show is geared for those who come to a show and want to hear their favorite songs. After being a U2 fan for 23 years and being an online fan for 8 – most of their shows are attended more than once. There are many of us that see as many shows as we can afford/handle. We travel to other cities or countries to see them. I guess I’d like to see more variety. Yeah, the light show and message are great, but switch it up a bit. I love Where the Streets Have No Name – but it’s starting to lose its impact on me.
This doesn’t mean that I’m not going to try to get tickets to the December shows. Or if they swing back around for a 2006 tour that I would sit it out. They just have a huge catalogue of music. It might be time to dust it off and give it some new life.
Today's song....
"Scarlet" from October
I will give this SotD thing it's credit, the more I talk about some songs/albums, the more I like them. The more I discuss October, the more I like it. But it works the other way, too. Some songs I thought I liked offhand, I really don't care for once I read into their history and discover the lyrics. (i.e. - "Is That All?")
"Scarlet" is still a difficult little song for me, but as I have it on repeat here, I like the music more and more. The lyrics are simple (rejoice, rejoice, rejoice), so Bono only talk a half-day on this one. There is piano work, which I love, Larry drolling away in the background. What I love most of all about this song is Adam's bass. It almost comes to the front, by being so predominant back there behind everything else. This song also contains a Larry drum solo, heh, but not really. Everything else gets quiet for a few seconds around 1:37, and Larry just marches on... to the beat of his own drum (oy what a cliche).
I don't think the lyrics posting is necessary. You?
