U2 in Chicago

by on Sep.14, 2009, under People

Several years ago I told my son that if U2 ever comes to Chicago that we would be going to see them – it’s always been a dream of ours. Well that dream came true last night as we watched and listened to U2 jam through the night. It was a great show…a memory maker, hanging with U2 fans and family. We sang along, danced and were inspired by U2′s passion for the well being of the world – the disadvantaged in Africa particularly. I think Bono has set the bar high for Rock Stardom – leveraging his influence to help humanity…hats off to you brother!Get on Your Boots

    I saw U2 at the Meadowlands way back in 1985 during the Unforgetable Fire Tour

    Great Show

    U2 was definitely an unforgettable experience. I was truly inspired, and my dream of playing music to benefit others was greatly strengthened. Thanks for taking us again Dad.

    It’s sad though to think many people in attendance were only there to have a good time and nothing else. I wonder how much of an impact they truly make, knowing the state of our current human nature.

    I don’t really stand with most Christian brethren about Bono being a true follower of Christ as his lifestyle doesn’t seem to go beyond much of anything humanitarian or political (all good things, but it is on every believer’s agenda to spread the good news and that’s not too apparent), all I know is that Jesus loves every person in that stadium, including the band and if I had an opportunity to live out my faith that night, I hope I did; even if was just the simple and kind “excuse me” to get past my neighbor to go the restroom. To God be the glory, forever and ever, amen!

    Yes – it struck to the heart. the imagery was powerful…especially when tied into that song. I also appreciated the highlight on the situation in Burma. So glad I went. If the circumstances were right I might travel to see them again…this time a little closer up.

    I was stoked when they did “Sunday Bloody Sunday.” The fact he tied it into Iran was brilliantly appropriate
