U2 Concert

Matt and I at the U2 Concert at Rice Eccles Stadium! We went with Chuck and Shawna and we had such a great time. It had been a downpour all week and since it was an outdoor concert....I was seriously concerned about being wet and miserable. Luckily the rain cleared out and we were able to enjoy the show. We had general admission which was quite an adventure. After a few quirks, we found ourselves near front and center.

The stage was set up as this ridiculously huge claw thing. It had a center stage and then a second stage that went around. Between them, was what we called "the mosh pit". After a short period of time, we learned that was NOT where we wanted to be. It was total chaos so we worked our way back out to the outer ring.

The Fray was the opening act. They did a good job but with a group as great as U2...they didn't really hold a candle. It was cool to be so close in the day light though.

This is how close we were to Bono as he walked around the outer ring. :) It was such an amazing show!
