U2 Pics....Croke Park, Monday 27th 2005 [**56k warning!!!!!!**]

Standard Toaster

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:


The Bravery were pretty good.


Ash were ok. The usual from them tbh


Vertigo kicks off.....woohoo!


Bono looks pissed off!!!

Standard Toaster

Sees the young girl...




'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!'

This was around Bad if I remember correctly.....f*cking love that song live




City of Blinding Lights really kicked off the fantastic display....


Adam is the coolest mofo...

Standard Toaster

Here I was shouting at Adam and he gave me a smile just after this pic...


Edge doing his thing....


This was around Love and Peace or Sunday Bloody Sunday...not 100%




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...


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


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






The Fly.....


With or Without You


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?

Good pics. better than the crappy ones i got with my phone. Was a good gig.

Everyone was clapping and cheering when he brought the little girl up on stage

Brilliant!

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.

Hey , you were like three people away from me !!!!(I'm the Black hair / Blue top dude in the photo of bono with drums on Love and Peace)

My photos are kinda similar here

bullock

They are brill .... 10/10 for them too. You have a really good camera.

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

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).

Ardent

The_edge, great pics.

What camera do you have?

rabbitinlights

What settings are you using? especially on the sony.........
