Performance

It's hard to say if it was the band or just the technical difficulties that made the band's performance less than stellar. There were definitely amazing moments, but there were also flubs that shouldn't happen with the biggest band in the world.

Also, when you're up close you can see the hiccups better. One thing to note was Bono's spirit. I think he was having a horrible night. Seriously. See the overall show rating below.

Recording: "IEM-AUD Matrix" - 5 stars

Audience

The greatest revival - I mean we took the Kingdome to church - happened at this show, only because of the audience.

Overall

Hey Lads and Lassies! It's been a long time since this show, nearly twenty years, but it's a story I've told a thousand times to a thousand people and I still can't believe how moving this show was.

The show tech was going so badly that Bono, ever the optimist, beat the life out of his microphone. He was pissed and we in the front row knew it. I don't think the rest of the stadium could see it. It was like being close to a fight. Only the people close by could see the emotion and anger.

So me and my friends did the only thing we knew how to do - we started singing. It ended up being the greatest U2 moment I think I could possible have had. Honestly.

I wrote a lot about it in a post on my blog HERE. I hope you'll like it.
