Apollo Stadium. Just drove past there the other week...when going to see U2:3D, in fact.

Really? I was wondering if you were familiar with it.

U2 , what an amazing band and brilliant concert. But where was the crowd? Sure, they were there in numbers but not in voices.

AAMI Stadium is home to some of the loudest crowds South Australia has ever heard, so long as footballers are on the park.

Maybe it was the fact everyone was in awe of the world’s greatest band, but the crowd’s “silence” was certainly not golden.

Now, I’m not saying we sat there like stunned mullets, but our gratitude for U2 making Adelaide part of its world tour seemed to be shown with a few cheers and soft claps at best.

It looked like there were 60,000 people there, just didn’t sound like it.

The crowd was lacklustre at best, with mild excitement whenever Bono mentioned “Adelaide’’ or worked anything Australian into his performance.

Aside from the mosh pit - where excitement is a given as those fans wait hours to grab their prime position - enthusiasm was definitely lacking.

I had seated tickets and stood as the band came on stage.

Of course, I and the others in front of me were met with muffled groans from those who preferred to sit.

Thirteen years ago, I was at AAMI Stadium for U2’s Zooropa tour. There were a third of the fans there but they made three times as much noise as Thursday night’s crowd.

What were your thoughts?

Fancy this for a review that I found doing a search for it's new name:

The closest thing to cllectibles I have is this really, REALLY big Joshua Tree poster. And of course the Joshua Tree (Super Deluxe Edition) box.

New here by the way. Don't mind my bad english...I'm from Sweden xP
