Originally posted by WojBhoy:Well, let me just say this - if that was to be the only U2 gig I ever see in my lifetime, it'll do me fine. From where I was on the pitch (front leg, Edge's side) the atmosphere was simply electric, and I'll never forget the sight of 90,000 people all on their feet singing ISHFWILF. Everything about the gig was special for me; I mean, I've listened to hundreds to boots by now but nothing prepared me for the real thing. Having seen Dallas warming up using the SG after Elbow had finished, I didn't figure Mysterious Ways was gonna have a look in but wow, didn't it just - that took me by surprise and some. I'm still mindfucked. The band were on fire and from where I was (like I said) the whole place was on fire, and I couldn't get enough of it. I was seriously worrying about having a hernia by the time UV came around and I think WOWY was a contender for best in recent years - sure, no Shine Like Stars but Bono was visibly moved by the crowd and it was just sheer epicness (I don't care if that's not a real word lol). And oh yeah - STREETS WAS INCREDIBLE. Great little segue from Walk On.
There was a lot of echo but hey, it's Wembley, it's a giant echo-chamber lol. Was digging the Acquiesce snippets too, only now do I find out NG was in the house. Liked The Hours a lot, will have to check them out in more detail (lead singer got a bit drowned out by the guitars and bass, kinda made me think of Muse on speed or something) and Elbow were everything I had hoped they would be. By the by, if anyone caught my Twitter feed I saw someone about 3-4 people ahead of me wearing a "Chris Martin is a w*nker" t-shirt which I a) thought was genius and b) wondered whether it was one of our merry community? White shirt, orange text (I only saw the back).
I can't think of many better ways to pop one's U2 cherry. I seriously can't wait for Sheffield. I'll go through my pics soon and browse through for any good ones, or even perhaps just the whole lot regardless of quality.

Quite early, I arrived at about half 3 and the queue was damn long, got a spot near one of the Claw's legs though.
I followed your tweets and was thinking about you a lot yesterday, harry
I don't know, I was just happy for you, I guess. great to read you had such a good time! I didn't doubt you'd have 
u2 are just one hell of an experience, especially the first time. 
sorry I didn't reply to any of you guys on Twitter, I was only updating via. text, I didn't know whether my phone could manage it or not, hence why I only saw everyone's Tweets to me when I got home last night. It was fantastic.
