Oct 23rd - Sam Boyd Stadium - Las Vegas - Page 6

howlinrock · 10-25-2009, 01:21 AM

After two days at the Grand Canyon and seeing The Beatles "Love" at The Mirage I ended this trip with the Las Vegas show last night. It was funny that you could barely fit the claw into Sam Boyd. Got to the outer rim with no problem. Great sound. The few "not so old" morsels were nice "Mysterious Ways" Etc, the "Unforgettable Fire / Ultra Violet" segment was stunning. The set flowed nicely, I personally thought they didn't warm up completely till after "Magnificent" (But "Boot's" rocks live)

This 360 stage does a great job to make a stadium show intimate. I agree about the lack of water. The beer drinkers and their bottle's were pathetic. ( I'm glad most venues in Cali use plastic cups) After the show I observed the cops doing the inventory of the exiting drunks. I lost my sense of the streets so I approached a young cop and asked for direction. He really looked me over doing my inventory. (I'm sober) and then said back to me "You walked here from Siena Suites"? This is not a safe area. Be really careful. That was a some what fearful walk back. I met some nice fans everywhere. Great show and fans. I'll see them back home again in Oakland ... But I'll get seats.

) than the boys themselves

I have HD video of Bono doing ALL of Viva Las Vegas, but our hotel connection sucks so it'll take forever to upload. When I get home on Tues., I'll put it up.

Again, nice photos, everyone. Great to meet those of you I did if even briefly. Next summer, I'm committing to at least 6 shows (and fan gatherings), so I hope to meet more and talk for longer.

Best band and most photographed band in the world. Great photos everyone. Loved hearing some of In God's Country; wished it were more...but I am satisfied with what was given. Great to have met people from all over the world.

Here are some pics from way in the back, which gave me a view of the Whole Damn Thing, which was pretty cool.
