Obligatory warning to the horde of newcomers I think I will get:This is not a professional recording. It is what the audience hears. Do not complain about crowd noise, because you are the ones who make it. Do not expect the sound quality to be amazing, it was a stadium gig. Never, ever pay for this, and never sell this recording. It is freely avaliable and by downloading this you should be supporting the artist, not robbing them.*ahem* that was rather painful.....
Alright so U2. I've had a rather long dislike of U2, mainly because of my friend who's a massive fan and I just disagreed with him for the sake of it (hey James!). I bought this ticket with great hesitance.
I made the right choice to go. It was a genuinely good gig. Not the best I have seen this year, but really good in it's own right. The crowd was generally placid and friendly, with few exceptions, and their gig inexperience didn't really show through too much. The sound quality on the night wasn't too good, but then again I've heard much worse. Great lighting show, and must I say any more than stadium gig? Looking around and seeing more than 60 odd thousand people around you is worth the admission price alone.
Good gig.
