U2 in Toronto

What are you doing tonight? This is where I’ll be!

I’ve never seen U2 live but four years ago, after U2′s last tour stop in Toronto, my wife and I decided that we would go see them the next time they came through. This is that next time! So tonight we’ll be at SkyDome with 50,000 of our closest friends and one really great Irish rock band.

The incredible part about tonight is that the weather is going to co-operate for the roof to be open! The only time the roof has ever been open for a concert at SkyDome is when Bruce Springsteen was here back in 2003. They had the roof open last night and it looks like they’ll be able to do it again tonight. U2 has been talking all along about doing everything they can to make the stage “feel” as big as the stadium and now that we’ll be under the stars in downtown Toronto, this will be a night I will remember for a long time.

Lots of reports last night of cell phone signals being totally jammed in the stadium (probably partly because of people sending photos to Twitpic, etc) but I’ll see if I’m able to get some photos and send them along. Check the Twitpics over on the sidebar or follow along on twitter tonight – @chrisfromcanada
