Long waited for, that day has come at last! And that day should result in that it was worth to wait...

Well, what should I write?! - It was just great! Almost everything has been perfect. I almost perfectly went to the Olympic-Stadium. I had to wait for entrance just about 15 minutes. Then running to the stage - and I got into the first circle, almost only three meters away from the b-stage. I thought, this would be almost perfect to watch the giant screen of the stage, to watch the group at the center-stage and to watch them very closely at this b-stage - and I was right.

Well, then the usual long waiting began - from 4 pm to about 9 pm. But there has been two warm-up groups...so the waiting was not as bad as afraid. In the meantime it began to rain a bit, but fortunately not for very long and then not anymore at all. A little problem was only, that I was thirsty. After the end it took rather long till the people could leave the venue and reach the underground. So, I arrived home again just at 1 am.

And what about the concert itself? Actually, I haven't expected very much, because of my memories of my last U2-concert four years ago, which was not so bad but also not what I would call overwhelming. But this one now was overwhelming!

But, as I could see, it also really depends on where you stand and who is around you. This time I stood next to many real U2-fans, who really freaked out, when the intro began. And they continued having a party all concert long. And when I stand next to such fans, then I also have contaged to that euphoric mood. Especially at the beginning I felt the endorphines rushing through my body. It was almost such a feeling of happiness, when a girl sits next to you and rubs her leg against yours... But it last longer, that I smiled some time, not knowing exactly why.

And the show was again really outstanding. It has reminded me of the concerts of the Popmart- and ZooTV-Tour. This is, what a concert makes special. It began with Rock'n Roll songs and also there was time for quieter emotions, songs and speeches. I liked that mixture, I like, when the tension and feeling changes.

So, as you might already have understood - I liked that concert very much!

Update: Here a photo, where I can be really seen! And here a video!
