U2 Live - Rocking in Tampa

So any U2 fans out there? I was just thinking of this band - they played live in Tampa this past Friday, and although I didn't see them live this time around, I saw them back in 1997 at Houlihan's Stadium. It was the final event before the stadium was demolished (Raymond James Stadium replaced it - as the home for the Tampa Bay Bucs).

I must say that it was a great concert - the band sounded so good that night, with a larger than life stage show, and played some of my favorite songs, including "Where the Streets Have No Name", "One", "Sunday Bloody Sunday", and "With or Without You". I would have love to have heard them play "Bad" - my all time favorite U2 song - but that wasn't on the setlist that night.

U2 is one of those bands, where even if you don't really like them - you probably still like at least one or two of their songs. But at the same time I realize there are people who either love em or hate em.

So although I didn't see U2 on this tour - like I said it made me think of when I saw them live 12 years ago. From what I've heard the concert has received some excellent reviews, and of course the stage show was still larger than life. So if anyone has seen their current tour (or past shows) and would like to leave a comment - please feel free too.

But here's a look at the setlist I happened too dig up, from that Tampa show back in 1997.
