Show Report
What time is it in the world and where are we going?' Bono asked after 'Get On Your Boots'. Tonight it was every time on the clock, depended which country you were in as the U2 360°: show went out live on YouTube to millions of viewers on seven continents.

'It's like we are all there at the concert,' said Baadsilver on our Zoootpia live thread 'We ALL have our hands in the air and are singing... crazy tonight for U2.'

Or as one clever Tweet put it, 'This has to be the best U2 concert I have never been to.'

From Breathe to Moment of Surrender, felt like a moment of rock'n'roll history tonight. If you were at the show add your own reviews and photos below.

***Great Show***
What a night came from Northern CA to see my 22 U2 show. My first @ L.A. Sport Arena in 1985. Had wanted to see U2 before that however tickets always sold out before I was able to purchase them back in the day before internet. Now WOW, first time bringing my kids and to a show with nearly 100,000 fans attending. They had a great time and many many lasting memories. Lucky us we even have an official DVD to mark the event forever. Thank you U2 for all the great memories and can't wait to see you another 22 times. Oakland June 7th 2011 is around the corner and can't wait to hear new songs...

I was there?!!?
Okay, my first ever concert happened to be this U2 concert! I have never seen anything more incredible in my entire life! While I was there, I knew like five songs. I didn't know any others. Now that 8 months has passed, I now know like every single song. ever. I was in a daze the whole week after. You cant describe how it felt to be there. Plus, I got to brag to my friends I also saw the Black Eyed Peas, who were amazing too. =)

U2 bucket list
I was in attendance and I can now check the "to be present at a filming of a U2 concert" off my "U2 bucket list." Amazing night, amazing show. To be amongst 90,000+ people enjoying the greatest band on earth is pretty spectacular.

Opening Act: Black Eyed Peas
U2 has always had an eye for "The Next Big Thing" in choosing who opens their concert. The Black Eyed Peas put on a stunning concert of songs, dance, and visuals that firmly established they will headline their own concerts for years to come. BEPs current "The E.N.D. Tour" solidifies the fact that they have joined U2 at the top of the pop-rock world (and it is symbolic that BEPs are using Michael Jackson's stage from "This is It").

Bringing in the next generation
The Rose Bowl show was to be my 25th in as many years. My friend's husband couldn't go at the last minute, so we used the extra ticket to take my nephew to his first U2 show. We arrived hours early with our lunch, joining tens of thousands of others picnicking on the grounds outside the Rose Bowl. For the first time, I got to hear the band do their pre-show sound check. After that experience, my nephew convinced the rest of his family they should come out to LA for the next leg of the tour. His mom, dad and sister will be arriving in a couple of weeks to join us at the Anaheim show on June 6. Can't wait!!

Quiet crowd
Went to both shows in Chicago and the show in Pasadena. Chicago was much louder. The Pasadena crowd was very tame. Dissapointed that the crowd couldn't ELEVATE the boys a bit more. Seemed like Bono was a bit miffed at times. Was hoping for Your Blue Room in Pasadena. A smokin version of Until The End Of The World.

Gina Ocon was #50 that Night!
This concert was by far the best one I've ever seen, period!!! I arrived at 4am and waited all day just to get inside the ellipse! Out of 97,000 people, I was #50 to enter!!! A big giant shout out to Randy, former American Idol superstar, who entertained us TOP 250 with his security antics!!! And to PondScum...I think your story is worth retelling to the LA Times! I took sewage around the ankles for Bono! Air Force One and UCLA broad, THERE WILL BE NO MAS NEGOTIATING!!! You showed up late, sorry, stop inciting the masses! The crowd was phenomenal, sound was tight, evening was warm...Joe looked edible!!! Black Eyed Peas rocked! We were in the front row, and I've got 4000 pics to prove it. Kathy from work said she saw me on Joe's shoulders on UTube! U2 you've got one loyal fan here...and thanks to BSW for your devotion and loyalty to this amazing band. You taught me how to love and how to love U2!!!

Amazing!!
My family and I were fortunate enough to be at the Rose Bowl concert and it was everything we expected and more. We had waited 17 years to be able to see U2 again...last time we saw them was '92 in Oakland. We had an amazing time and are looking forward to repeating the experience in June back in Oakland! Thank you U2 and Black Eyed Peas for giving us one hell of a night!!! :)

A Canvas
A week has passed and I am still inside the metaphoric "claw". The music, the performance, the moment when I was part of a concert I had long dreamed of attending, continues to reverberate and inspire. Is it possible to be a better person because you have attended a rock concert? Yes, if it's a U2 concert. I pledge that I will do something good as a result of this pulsating experience. I am deeply grateful to have attended the Rose Bowl concert. I am profoundly grateful that we have gifted musicians and lyricists in the world who are dedicated to using their talent to inspire rather than tear down. Bravo.
