U2 - Joshua Tree Tour, Take 2

 It's one heck of a journey to get to FedEx Field, but by the Grace of God, we made it in time.  Cville and Arlington to Michael's hotel in Springfield, then 10 minute drive to the metro for a 70 minute ride up to Landover ending in a mile walk.  But absolutely worth every minute of it (even the TWO HOUR trip back)!  It was Michael's first concert and I hadn't seen them in 15 years.  


Lumineers opened---great little band with an intense cellist.


Suffering through pink eye, the glasses were my best friend for 10 days, but how I wished I had prescription sunglasses.

Date night, with 90,000 of our best friends!  We actually knew 8 other couples from Cville alone that went, just couldn't swing logistics before or after as everyone was meeting up with various friends and family in conjunction with the trip.  Bono should really just come back to Scott Stadium again soon. 





This Joshua Tree tour was long overdue.  Michael admitted he appreciates their music much more now and hadn't realized how much Christian influence and references are in their lyrics.  Bono is an incredible world advocate and I pray this tour will help open some people's hearts and mind.
