U2 was (were?) great in Croke Park- the 'home base' for the Dublin-born band members, ( or at least Bono.. and really, isnt he the only one who matters? I'd say judging by his Second-incarnation-of-Jesus complex, it seems a bit of a silly question)Patrick, Louie and i enjoyed some 'semi private' seats wayyyy above the action, as our row was surprisingly empty. They played under a huge spider claw glow-in-the-dark sort of thing.. aparently the Rolling Stones stage (whatever that is..) can fit into it three times. Oh that Bono..
We also saw Westport, Galway and Lacken.. which I think I have mentioned. Still: after countless pours, local Guiness makes Guiness in Canada taste like cardboard. I hear it doesnt travel well, (you don't say..)
Following a rediculously unlucky series of events and about forty minutes of fitful sleep; we have finally arrived in Paris. Well, actually, Beauvais. Which is just as nice. We will be in Paris on Sunday, and for 3 weeks following that.
here are some pics of the concert (Croke Park holds eighty five thousand people! can you believe it?) in the four days that they were there, a quarter of all of Ireland went to see U2! No wonder Bono has a God complex..
Bono had the lights switched off.. Nice little trick, Hezeus, but we know that the 'milky way' was just 85, 000 cell phones.
Great post...but a quarter of Ireland...come on! There's 4 million of us running around!
