It took me a while 'to metabolize the concert on Friday at the Olympic Stadium of Rome, and took a bit 'to return the item.
But first things first: in 1985, shortly before I was born, U2's first concert held in Milan, Italian and sang for the first time in Rome in 1987, when I was too small to hear or know of their existence.
My two are not big fans of rock, even if listening to something while I growing up I became increasingly divided between studying violin, music theory, music history and listening to rock, blues, jazz, metal (a of the constants in my life). U2 were a band first heard on the radio, then more often until a learning vacation in Ireland, during which they bought a cd, one of the first purchased by itself. I admit that in 1998 I went to see Bono's house just outside Dublin with a group of companions in learning vacation and took us half shot at all when you opened the gate and he went into the car (incidentally one of us had well hung at the gate to be able to see inside). I promised myself to go and hear the first concert useful, but I always had problems with tickets.
Last year, in November, the news that would sing in Rome after five years. Time three days I had booked two tickets.
And then, at 3:45 my boyfriend ended up with a crazy screaming and jumping on the bus, ready for the great adventure.
We arrived at the Olympic Stadium at half past four.
After half an hour we sat in our seats (which turned out to be wrong due to an error on the ticket, panic!), In south-west corner (and he and I are from Lazio).
At seven forty-five began singing the opening band, but unfortunately the volumes were not well regulated, but as my boyfriend does not like them, I have not disappointed. It 's true that the opening band knew that all the attention was for them, the U2, there's a brief onstage. Finished with the band we waited almost an hour for the entry of our Irish, with the audience that made the wave, singing, talking (to be note the large number of children and certainly the average age was over thirty years), went around ... And then, to the tune of David Bowie, came on stage, the claw, which is illuminated with lights, while Bono attacked "Beautiful Day" greeting Rome with a small change in the opening stanza from and The Edge began virtuismo playing with the guitar was flawless Mullen on drums and Clayton played bass in his own way. Incredible version of "Miss Sarajevo", see how it was done (and nothing in playback) with the strength and emotional involvement with that. Also, see people jumping on stage like that is truly a sight to behold.

2:00 to 3:00 I like to recall moments of the concert, engaging in all its parts.
course, by a member of Amnesty International, and MLK Walk on, with Amnesty candles on the stage, dedicated to Aung San Suu Kyi, as well as Sunday Bloody Sunday, angry and aggressive, dedicated to Saviano, and especially to Ahmanedinejad opposed to students. Beautiful all found on the big screen in "claw" the claw.
I should also talk about how we were involved the spectators, with the creation of the Irish flag and Italian, as well as the word "One" during "I Still Have not Found What I'm Looking For" (which is a song inspired by religion, as I am repeating to everyone when I say: Is not that a beautiful love song? - Yes it is, but the text is religious)?
I do with this understatement, as I believe there have also spoken to the news.
beautiful version of "All I Want Is You" interspersed with "Bad."
What else?
Two and a half hours music engaging, exciting, I'm sorry to the neighbors that I have heard her sing out loud all the time and that I probably stepped on jumping!
