U2 & Muse Concert

As most of you know, Jeff got free tickets to the U2 concert in Dallas. Blackberry is the sponsor for the tour, and it is their 25th anniversary, so they gave every employee plus a guest a ticket!! I've been soooo excited about this for months now. U2 is the one band that I have always wanted to see in concert, and it certainly didn't disappoint. They played a really good mixture of old and new. I got to hear all my favorites from the Joshua Tree album and Achtung Baby to the latest one, No Line on the Horizon. I just don't know what else to say except it was awesome. We both had a really, really good time. However, the tickets were general admission/field tickets. So, this meant we stood for about 6 hours!! Yep, I didn't know if I could walk all the way back to the car, but somehow we did. I told Jeff that I am too old to be standing that long.

We got to Cowboy Stadium about 4:45, and there was this HUGE line. Jeff said it was the line to get in. Well, it was the line to get in, but just for general admission! If you had a real seat, then you could go in different doors, and it was fine. This line wrapped about halfway around the stadium, and maybe even more.

This is a pic of the stadium as we walked to get in line.

This is taken about 30 minutes after we had been in line. This is behind us. Notice, you can't see the end of the line!

And, this is the line in front of us! It took about another 30 minutes to get in!

Once we got in, we had to get a wristband. I still don't know why we got them, except that there was an "inner circle" by the stage that I think it allowed you access too. However, we didn't know that, and I really think it was already full by the time we got in there.

This is the actual stage. This is taken as we first walked in the doors before we had to get the wristband and walk down this long windy hallway. It seriously took forever to get down to the field.

And this is our actual view of the stage. You can kinda see the "inner circle".

Muse opened for U2, and they were really good too. They were a lot better than I had expected. These 2 girls in line behind us to get in were only coming to see Muse. There were a lot of hardcore fans there that new every single word to all the songs. They played for about and hour, and I knew about 3 or 4 songs.

Then we had about a 30 minute intermission before U2 came on.

I made a quick slideshow of all the pictures I took of U2. Some aren't that good, and you can definitely see that everyone had either an iphone or a blackberry!! Enjoy!

If you want to see any of those pictures in the slideshow blown up, let me know, and I will post them. Some are really cool and awesome at how close we were!
