Ok, I can die now...

I saw Bono in 3D. Laughing I went to the IMAX and saw the U2 3D movie this afternoon. Really cool effect, like you're right on stage with them and at times, a part of the audience. I mean, it feels just like a concert but it felt a bit weird just sitting there. I felt like I should be standing up, jumping up and down and trying to breathe while being crushed by a crowd of sweaty, stoned people. Ahhh the good ol' days. I went to the movie by myself which was a first for me. My SA always made me too self-conscious to go to a theater by myself. There was a guy one seat down from me that was alone too so it's not a big deal.

Of course, if Lynette was still alive, we would have been camping out at the theater the night before it opened. I lost count of how many times we went to see Rattle and Hum together. We saw it every night when it first opened and then when it hit the dollar theater we kept going back. She was the biggest U2 fan and was the one that got me into them. In fact, the U2 concert at ASU was my first time I saw them live and the first spiritual experience I had. They were videotaping it for the Rattle and Hum movie and to fill the stadium, they sold tickets for 5 bucks each. They recorded two nights. We went the first night and the place was packed to capacity. We had nosebleed seats but we didn't care. The concert was awesome. They ended with the song "40" which is taken from Psalm 40 in the bible. I wasn't a Christian then, had no idea what Psalm 40 was, but I tell ya, when the instruments stopped and everyone continued to sing the last refrain from that song, it was a feeling I'll never forget. I was in an audience of close to 50,000 but when we were all singing, it was as if we were one and it took us some place beyond ourselves. Never felt anything like it before then. We had a long walk back to our car and I could still hear people singing that song.... how long to sing this song...

awesome.  the edge is incredible.

I am a little jealous though. never seen them in concert.

 thats awesome though. During New Years Day, the Edge goes back and forth from guitar to piano and then back to guitar. its so cool.

 I used to listen to Under a Red Blood sky tape over and over again. I loved 40.
