U2 Baby

U2 was fantastic Saturday in Vegas. There were 2 guest appearances - one being Mary J. Blige singing One and the other Brandon Flowers singing In a Little While. also the tour manager (23 years) was brought on stage and sung happy birthday to. The set rocked and the band was basking in the glow of the raucous audience. There was one song where the crowd was still singing the chorus as the band was starting the next song - it was unreal. The place was deafening. At one point, Bono, joked that the crowd needed to quiet down. Several times you could see him just stop as he listened to the crowd singing, applauding, jumping up and down, whatever. It was awesome. I swear that some of the songs, he just stopped singing becasue the crowd was so loud they did it for him. It was an awesome experience to be a part of. Can't wait until we can see them again - they are awesome!
