This past April tickets went on sale for U2's latest tour - 360. I bought two tickets to surprise Neal for his birthday in May, only to find out that he had also purchased tickets to surprise me. Great minds think alike! Luckily, we were able to sell one pair of tickets on Craig's List. This was Neal's fifth U2 concert, my first, and I have to say that it was a pretty "Magnificent" show. Being the age we are and having grown up with their music, you can't help but enjoy a U2 concert.
We were lucky on this tour because it was the last night for opening band Muse. As with every other woman (or man!) in their 30's, 40's, and 50's who knows who Muse is, it's only because we've all read the "Twilight" series and have seen the movie scene in the baseball field where they play Muse's song, "Supermassive Black Hole." It was fun rockin' out to that one.
