U2 360 in Edmonton ...

On Wednesday afternoon, C and I drove to Edmonton, Alberta's capital city to see U2 playing on their 360 tour.  Of course, I've always enjoyed the music of U2 but they have never been on my music concert bucket list, but they should have been.  It was quite simply, amazing.  I'd never been to a concert so big (60,000) or so theatrical.  The stage was like something from out of space and the images on the big screen complemented the band on the stage very well.  And Bono.  Well, what sex appeal!  He had the crowd eating out of his hand as he sang and strutted his way around the stage.  It was an amazing experience.
