U2//VERTIGO//2006 Tour - Melbourne

Ok, I know there will be an insane amount of people who will hate me for this...but TOO BAD! I got the bragging rights!

I was in Melbourne last Sunday and was in Docklands doing some sight seeing and noticed that it was considerably packed for a Sunday evening. While not knowing what's going on, my friend then said that U2 is in town having a concert at the Telstra Dome. Of course we all went crazy contemplating whether or not to get the tickets and if there are any left, seeing that this is U2 that we're talking about, it probably might have been sold out ages ago. So we just tried our luck...and guess what??..WE GOT THE TICKETS!! Woohoo! Of course the cheaper ones were snapped up and all thats left were the AUD130 and AUD199 tickets. So we bought the 130 tix, and I must say, I would even pay AUD199 for it, simply because it was that f**king awesome.

Here are some of the pictures at the concert

Our tickets...Woohoo!!

Watch video 2 - Vertigo

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the opening act was Kanye West and the encore performance lasted about 1 and half hours. To sum it all up, it was the best concert I been to by far (not that I've been to many). Kinda hard to top this one I bet.
