One too many mornings

Last night U2 played at Hampden. That’s the second time I’ve seen them. The first being in Botanic in Belfast ten years ago as part of their zooropa tour. The set wasn’t as freaking wierd as the zooropa tour. It was very industrial looking following the colour scheme of their new album. The band came on stage in quite a low key entrance, and immediately launched into Vertigo. They played all the old favourites like, Bloody Sunday, New Years Day, and finished with With or Without You. Bono made a speech about the repression in Burma as it was Aung San Suu Kyi’s 60th birthday this week. It is also coming up to the G8 summit so he had plenty to spout about. The atmosphere was really good but I couldn’t really get into it as we were up in the stands away to the right of the stage. I’m never going in seated again if I can avoid it.
