    Ok, here's some pics from U2's Monday nite gig at Croke Park.
    I tried to get them in the right order as they were taken.
    I hope starting a new tread is ok...


    Way in:

    'What's your name?' asked Bono of his new friend in white hat and green Vertigo t-shirt.
    'My name's Paul but people call me Bono...you're beautiful!'

    I was recording video for most of Bullet The Blue Sky, Running To Stand Still, Pride In The Name of Love, Where The Streets Have No Name, One so pics are bit more scarce here...
    img06273ae.jpg

    Light this place up like a Christmas Tree. Quite an amazing sight...pic doesn't do justice.

    The start to Where The Streets Have No Name....always goes down well.

    Make Poverty History with some banners....

    The end of one....onto the first encore
    img06771pn.jpg

    Zoo Station is fúcking amazing live....visuals are stunning

    That's it for now....bed calling.
    Loads more pics & video but that is pretty much it. Will never forget Croke Park and Slane although I think Slane had the edge on Croker.
    Security guy told me they filmed Saturdays and Monday's gig...hopefully dvd on it's way some day.
    I wish I could have been at one of the ZooTV tours mind...
    I'd upload some video but my upload is terrible.

    Thanks for the pics. You seem to have gotten nice and close, were you doing security at it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,228 ✭✭✭Scruff

    Hahaha!!!
    Brilliant! :D

    Was just real close....barrier close i mean. Right beside the left ramp.
    I knew one of the security guards that was at all three gigs and he told me that that's where the best spot would be. I'm just out of view on the pic that was in the Sun too. Cameras used were Canon PowershotA400 & Sony DSC-P150...7megapixal helps alot! :)

    Here, another one for the road.

    Wow! U were right up the front. They are great pics.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,228 ✭✭✭Scruff


    Hey The_Edge, the mother of the young girl was on the gerry ryan show asking if anyone had any pictures of her daughter and bono cause she had no camera at the gig. You should send in your one (and not my attempt at humour).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,364 ✭✭✭Ardent


    The_edge, great pics.

    What camera do you have?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,008 ✭✭✭rabbitinlights
