U2 Rocks Raleigh
My whole body is sore and aches. That is a testament to how good the U2 concert was on Saturday.
I've been a huge U2 fan for a long time, so when I heard they were coming to Raleigh, I was super excited. They played in Carter-Finley stadium (NC State's football stadium) and it looked like a sold-out show, which meant there were more than 60,000 people there, making it the largest concert I've ever been to.
The set is one of the largest ever built for a concert and it looked like a spaceship. The music was great and U2 did a phenomenal job, but among the large crowd and the large set, it was one of the most intimate and moving concerts I've been to.
It's amazing that 60,000 people of all shapes and sizes and colors could come together and have fun. No violence. No prejudice. No anger. Just all singing together in perfect pitch, 120,000 arms waving in sync with one another. If we could do this for 2 hours, imagine what we could do with the rest of our lives.
Of course, that's the social message U2 is all about, and it came through loud and clear during the concert. Desmond Tutu even gave a message of love and unity during on of the encores.
Awesome, awesome concert.
