All the Concerts Fit to Print

I was worried that the sound would suck (again) since we were up in the rafters (again). The sound was actually pretty good. The United Center in Chicago is a huge arena. 20,000 people, maybe? But they filled the room pretty well, acoustically speaking. I could hear all the sounds. I could even understand the performers when they were talking between songs. So that was cool.

Garbage opened the show. We saw about half of their set. Pretty good.

U2 pulled a random fan out of the audience and gave him a guitar to play a song. The kid played "People Get Ready," and Bono sang a bit. The "random" fan turned out to be James Iha of The Smashing Pumpkins.

During "One" they showed a scroll of all the names of the crew and passengers of the planes that crashed on September 11th. That was nice.

My favorite songs that they played were "Bullet the Blue Sky" (of course), "Out of Control," and "Bad". Excellent.
