U2 in New York, Madison Square Garden
Nneka and I went to another U2 show Saturday night in Madison Square Garden, New York. It was another awesome show. We were in seats this time, behind the stage and to the right. Nneka and I were tired from tromping around New York in the rain all afternoon, so we were glad to have the option to sit for some of the show.
They played much of the same set list, but the mixed it up a bit, with All I Want is You and 
Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses. During With or Without You, when Bono usually just has a pretty girl come up on stage to sing and dance with him, he pulled up a man wearing a turban and thick beard, who seemed to really get into it. Mary J Blige came for a special guest duet on One.
Nneka showed me some of her favorite places to shop for clothes. I broke a record for the most shoes I've ever bought in one day. (She's really getting me into this whole fashion thing 
) She also introduced me to some of her closest friends in New York. The heavy rain put a damper on things, but overall, it was a great weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

U2 in Boston
I had main floor tickets to the U2 show Tuesday night, and Nneka went with me. (Unfortunately, my brother, Matt, couldn't make it. He would have enjoyed it, and I missed having him there.)
It was spectactular! Not only did they put on another great show (I've seen them live before), but we were only about 10 or 20 feet away from the front of the elliptical ramp. 
Whenever any of the band members came out to the front, we could actually see their faces. It was awesome!
Technically, they didn't allow cameras in the stadium, but everyone and his mother has a digital camera built into their mobile phone, including me, so that's where the photos came from. They're not great pictures, at least I can say I was there. I did a few video recordings as well. The sound quality is terrible, but it was fun to do nonetheless. Enjoy!
