U2 CONCERT

I have been waiting for this concert for SOOO long! I admit it, I'm a huge U2 fan. I'm not sure if it's due to growing up listening to them (nostalgia) or good music, pure and simple, but I've always liked U2. Originally they were supposed to come last June but with Salt Lake as their next stop, they cancelled the tour as Bono had to have back surgery. But, we held onto our tickets and were able to go Tuesday night. They held the concert at the U of U stadium and it was the biggest one I've ever been too (over 55,000 people). So, it was a little crazy to find parking (let alone get OUT of the parking lots) but so totally worth it. This is the stadium right before we went in The stage was massive. We kept calling it the claw because, well, it looks like one and I can't think of a better name! The middle rotated, it lit up, smoke came out of it and the 360 degree screens moved. What's cooler than that?The Fray was the opening band. I'm not a huge Fray fan, but they actually did a great job!
And here they are!

Overall it was such a fun night and totally worth not getting enough sleep for work the next day. I was worried because it has been so rainy, but the weather cleared up a couple of hours before and although cold, the night was beautiful. Such a great night with SUCH a handsome date!
