Think Leewah was going too. A couple of the NSW'ers from last week were off to the Sydney one last Friday. Would be a great band to see.

I was in shepp... alas... otherwise i could have gotten in for free...

[Leewah]

I was there last night.

Started queuing at 1315 and got into the Elipse area and by the time the concert started, I was 5 deep from the stage. At 1 point, I Bono was so close, he touched the hand of a girl 2 across from me.

Words can't describe how good this concert was. I've been to ZooTV, PopMart and now Vertigo and I can't seperate the 3 from an experience point of view as I've been in prime viewing points at all 3..

All the favourite songs were played and of course as expected Bono took the opportunity to speak his mind about some political issues focussing on making poverty history and ecouraging everyone to look at www.makepovertyhistory.com.au

It's amazing how 1 person can control 60,000+ people with so much ease. He asked people to pull out their phones and light up Telstra Dome like a Xmas tree which everyone did and then he asked them all to SMS their name to 191221 to support the Make Poverty History charity.

The 4 hour wait outside was definately worth the wait and another event I'll never forget.

went saturday night, my first concert ever, and my favourite band. And it was nothing short of amazing! One of the best nights ive ever had.

MPH isn't a charity

went sunday night. Not in the "inner sanctum" but over on 'The Edge' side (where else to be)

I've been going to a lot of gigs lately, and ranging from Lior at the spiegletent, Mayer at Palais, to U2 at Telstra Dome. But this was just un-f*cking-believable! The set was outstanding, the light/display wall, was incredible.

Set-list was great, wish i knew the complete words to some of the 2nd encore songs. I'm a fan of U2, but not a massive one, and i went just because it's 'U2' and i doubt i'd get a chance to see a band that's been so influential, again.

Don't know why Coldplay was getting the gong for the world biggest band, i'm sorry coldpay fans, but they don't have anything on U2 at the moment, and not with shows like they put on at the Telstra Dome.

will remember that concert forever.

Yeah! Pretty close mate. I was at the end of the stage, the circular part. You were on the ramp section heading down to where I was!
