Now we are at the end of the (hopefully) first legs of the I+E Tour I was thinking back on my overall ''Innocence and Experience'' experience. In one word... WOW. What a ride, what a thrill. I had the privelige to see the guys 10 times.

I started my Experience with Boston 3. I was having my holiday in Canada so it was just an hour flight to see them. First time I saw the stage with my own eyes, and it felt quitte intimate. They show started with PHTP and there he was, B-man. It was a rocking show with my personal highlights Chrystal Ballroom/Miss you and AIWIY . This was my first U2 show without One, but did I miss it... Nah... It needed a break.

Next stop, took a while, was Amsterdam. I was a lucky bastard, I could attend al 4 shows. Heard Gloria for the first time! What a rockin tune. But, nothing compared to Amsterdam 4. First the suprise of Magnificent and then.... the European premiere of Bad/40... How long...... Speechless.

Next up was Antwerp 2. No big suprises but a solid show. But just a few days later 2 times Cologne. On saterday i was second row at the e-stage. Never seen Bono from such a short distance. Sunday I had seating tickets. But this show was a rocker! The longest U2 show until then and a suprise Bad/40.

Last stop, Dublin 3 and Dublin 4. Well, what do I have to say about these shows. Someone said it here before, Dublin 3 I was in the show, Dublin 4 I was at the show. Couldn't agree more. But dublin 3 made me fall in love again with One.... What crowd. This is why I love this band! Big suprise of Dublin 4: The crowd reaction during AOH.

And now it's over for a while. I cant wait to have another U2 journey. Personal highlights of this tour:
- Zooropa/Streets
- The rebirth of Pride
- Dublin 3 --> One!!
- Entire Amsterdam 4
- Shine like stars

Oke oke.. Is there nothing that U2 could have done better?
Yes, please give COBL and BD a rest. I was missing a rarity like UV or HMKMTM in the encore. So next time.... Bring Back POP

There is no them, there is only us
