U2 Ignite Electrical Storm in Istanbul

6 Sep 201023
Turkey has fallen in love with U2 these past few days. Tonight the band is on track to break concert attendance records at the Olympic Stadium in Istanbul as part of the city's celebrations for European Capital of Culture. U2 walked across the famous Bosphorus Bridge yesterday - where Europe meets Asia.

Great Performance on Mothers Of The Disa
Dear Bono, The performance on Mothers Of The Disappeared was spectacular!!!Especially dedicating the song to "Fehmi Tosun" and announcing his name on the stage was such an emotional moment.Both me and my wife cried.I never herd this man's story although i am living in Turkey.But after you pointed it out in 97 i have made a research and found out about it .It was a real slap to our face to wake up.Unfortunately he is not the only one.He is one of the 17,000. CIVILIAN people who either disappeared and never herd of or killed by civilian dressed police officers and those killers never found of. All these people were executed either on their way to work or back to their home.Thank god we don't have these matters anymore since 2003..I am sure your attention and support on this matter helped greatly to stop these actions.Thank you so much!And thanks for remembering all those people in the name of Fehmi Tosun.And thanks for reminding all the artists such as singers,actors,etc their responsibility on matters of all people and making an outstanding example! See you again in Istanbul!!

Electrical Storm
Rock and Roll stopping the traffic again. Thanks for the video. And please bring Electrical Storm back next year in the US!
Istanbuuuul, I was just at the front of
We met with U2 at the city where the continents meet last night. It was an excellent show and hope the next show to be at the Inonu Stadium by the Bosphorus next time.. Zulfu Livaneli was a great suprise. Also we, the Turkish U2 fans strongly protested the goverment on behalf of the politician Egemen Bagis when Bono announced his name. Thank you U2 for that amazing night.

Electricity around U2
So many people following y'all! I remember that bridge from the 1970s, and it was hard to believe the significance. Probably still is. I see there is a guy leaning out of a car wearing a Türkiye jersey on his way to the Basketball Word Cup. But the tour seems to move too fast to stop in to watch a game. Really, this website has improved so much. This is almost as good as the www.bobdylan.com site, now. Will y'all be adding the fun rotating earth?

For love and only love
It is so great that U2 perform in the wonderful city of Istanbul where eastern and western culture meet. U2 is a band with the willingness to break down all sorts of barriers and limitations and the walk across the Bosphorus Bridge is the first step to a deeper connection with Turkey. Maybe U2 and their Turkish fans will see colours that have never been seen!
