U2 @ AAMI Stadium
What can I say, where do I start.
I got to AAMI Stadium at about 8:20 to queue up for the ellipse, it was a damn long day waiting but it was more than worth it. The concert was awesome, I have seen a number of their DVDs (Elevation, Live at Slane Castle, Vertigo) and they were all awesome concerts, but seeming them live just blew them away. It is hard to compare – bit like trying to compare a Commodore
to a Ferrari – it cant be done. Having seen the Vertigo DVD sort of knew what to expect with the stage setup, but being there just blew me away, the huge led screen behind them, the massive speak stacks the simply but damn effective lighting it was a great show. We managed to get into the ellipse and saw the guys coming down the right hand side ellipse, was only a couple of metres away from them. Did I mention it was awesome, if not I’ll mention it again, the concert was awesome. I felt the affects
on Friday of standing from about 3pm till about 11pm with sore feet but who cares, it was more than worth it.

A couple of photos in this post and a few more to be added to my photo gallery over the next day. Sorry couldnt limit the photos too many nice ones.
Hey,
My son was the little boy on stage in Adelaide.
Just wondering if you have any photos of ‘Coexist’ with him in there? If you do it would be great if you could contact me. Thanks heaps.
Hey some great photos you took there, I reckon we were just about in the same spot, but of course I was at the Melbourne show – and they had a stack of camera’s at our show – I asked one of the camera crew after the show why the extra cameras and he said they are making an imax production of the concert that I went to how cool is that. Our set list was slightly different we had bad and at least 1 other difference cant remember exactly now – finally a reason to go to imax – you’ll have to plan to come over when it is showing – maybe by May/June when you come over, but i doubt it will be finished by then, and the dvd will have to be added to the collection also
