Joshua Tree Leg 3: 1987, North America

This was my second U2 show, first time was The Unforgettable Fire tour in '85 at the Montreal Forum which holds 20 thousand people and now here they were playing the Big O which holds approx. 70 thousand people. As we all know The Joshua Tree album brought many new fans to the "club" . Being there on the floor close enough to see the sweat dripping down Bono's forehead and yes with his arm in a cast or bandage was just incredible. There is nothing like seeing your favorite band when you can sing along to every song and enjoy every note live in the moment with so many other people that feel the same way it's just magical. There is no religion, no color, no rich or poor, educated or not, gay or straight, for that hour and a half or so we are One!!! After it was over and Bono and the boys left us with 40, we sang it all the way to the Metro station (subway) we were still singing some 15 minutes later, now that is something I will never forget!!!!
