Event Venue: Wembley Stadium

Wow - what a concert!! I've seen them once before on the Zoo TV tour and this was way better. We got last-minute cheap tickets, so didn't expect a great view & we got what we expected - but the band and the music more than made up for it - and unusually for seats, everyone around us was really into it as well. Apparently they change the setlist every night & tonight's was way better than last night according to their website. It was my wife's first U2 gig & first time at Wembley Stadium & she loved it - despite not knowing all the words of the older stuff.

Highlights for me were the mental disco-bongo remx of the new single I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight and the slower One and Faraway So Close (Until The End Of The World), but in truth, there were no duff songs & the crowd had a blast!

As for the "see everything from anywhere" claim - I can say it isn't true - especially from Level 5 of Wembley Stadium.

Finally a word about the support acts - The Hours seemed good and got the early crowd going, but the sound was awful & the drummer drowned out the singer most of the time. Glasvegas were really boring - can't put my finger on why - the singer has a big voice & was giving it some, but it didn't get the crowd going at all - and they have an odd standing-up drummer woman who only has two drums and a cymbal - it looks really strange!!

To summarise - everyone go & see U2 in concert before you die - even if you hate them - they'll convert you!!

Event Venue: Millenium Stadium Cardiff

Quite simply this was stadium rock at it's very best. With the stadium roof closed, the sound was immense and the light show incredible. U2 have such a huge back catalogue that they can seemingly play forever without running out of classic songs - New Year's Day, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Pride, With Or Without You and many many more. U2 tickets are never going to be cheap, but with a show lasting over 2 hours it was money very well spent.

Event Venue: Cardiff & Birmingham

Bono isn't actually God - not nearly (I saw him outside the NEC in Birmingham in 2001 - saw all of them - they signed autographs etc - they are REALLY LITTLE close up!! - also saw them in Cardiff in 2005) - but U2 are great live - probably the best group in the Universe with Crowded House & The Killers & Bruce Cockburn as close runners up ...

U2 were fantastic at the millenium stadium Cardiff. support band The Hours were awesome too, definately a band to keep an eye out for.

I have seen u2 twice in this country and both times they were awesome,i didnt want it to end! Great mix of old and new songs.Bono has lots of energy and bounds round the stage!
