The Best Concert

I love music so I’ve been to a lot of concerts, however the best concert that I’ve ever been to was the 360 tour by U2 on the 25th of march, 2011. The venue was the National Stadium and it was full, so there were a lot of people waiting for the band from very early hours. U2 is one of my favourite bands, they’re from Dublin, Ireland and have been active for 40 years, and during most of those 40 years they have maintained their original formation: Bono is the vocalist, The Edge is the lead guitarrist, Adam Clayton is the bass player and Larry Mullen plays the drums. They have a lot of hit singles but my favourite is “I Still Havent’t Found What I’m Looking For” from the album The Joshua Tree (one of the singles in that album is dedicated to Victor Jara, as Bono has always been a politically vocal person and endorses that artists should be more active in political current affairs).
Since there was so many people, the atmosphere was amazing, everyone were singing their songs, listening to them respectfully and overall really happy to be there. The reason it has been the best concert I’ve ever been to is because the show that they put is really thought out, the stage can be seen clearly from wherever you are seated in the venue (hence the name 360 Tour), their vocals and instrument playing is great and they have a lot of interaction with the public, but the most amazing thing is that they put a giant screen made from smaller ones  that expands in a beehive-like pattern and allows everyone to see everything in great detail. I also enjoyed it because I got in early so I could be in the Red Circle right by the stage and could see it all up close, I took great pictures of it, in fact, herenis one that I took of Bono and Larry.
