Two years in the waiting... and finally last night I got to see the final stretch of the U2 tour in Oakland. Outdoor stadium in all it's glory.
It felt late to the party, but timeless as a music experience.
Also a nice bit of photos from Richard Koci Hernandez, who was standing right next to me...
A great hightlght was the 'Beautiful Day from Space' intro segment from the astronaut 200 miles above the earth.
The set list was great. I heard a few new live versions. Here's U2's Oakland show report:
