U2 concert @ Giants Stadium

Last Thursday I had the chance of finally seeing live in concert U2.
It has been years since I have been wanting to see them live (something I didn't manage to do in 2005 when they went to Portugal), and when the New York date for the 360 Tour was announced, I made sure I got some tickets.My friend Lidia from Portugal was there with me.

I have always liked most of their songs, especially their greatest hits, but it was when I bought their Live at Slane Castle DVD, that I realized how amazing Bono, Edge, Larry and Adam are on stage. In my opinion they are currently the greatest rock band.

This week it was announced that they will be playing next year in Coimbra, Portugal, in the second part of the 360 tour.

The first part was done by Muse, which was a pleasant surprise.

Here are some pictures from where I was standing. You can see how impressive the 360 stage is.
