U2 - Even Better Than The Real Thing - Oakland 2011
Loading...
Uploaded by teratags on Jun 8, 2011
Opening song of their 2011 360 Tour in Oakland. This follows David Bowie's Space Oddity which is played before/during U2's entrance to the stage.
I was going to continue recording through "I Will Follow", but I really just wanted to watch and listen. So, sorry for the cut off at the beginning of the song. My first three U2 concerts (consecutive nights, as I was an usher at the LA Sports Arena) were for Joshua Tree, so I've never heard them perform I Will Follow in concert..
NOTE: If any of you were at the concert, check out the 5 billion pixel fan cam image and tag yourself! We arrived too late for the pic, but I saw the people who were occupying our seats... http://www.u2.com/gigapixelfancam/110607/

The concert was the best ever!! The emotion when the lights go out and the concert about to start has no equal.
Thanks for sharing it.

@avalerioa In the late 80s I was an usher for 3 consecutive U2 concerts. Just before the lights went out, we (the ushers) had to block the entrance to our sections by holding on to the rails on either side and hoped we didn't get knocked down the stairs by the mad rush of girls trying to get by in the dark. Being teenage guys, we didn't mind the body contact so much. So it was mostly awesome, with a tiny bit of fearing for my life... Anyways, thanks for triggering these memories. :)
