Bono brilliance

Saw U2 at Wembley Stadium last night - they were amazing. So the start wasn't great as I don't know much from the new album, but listening to 'City of Blinding Lights', 'Beautiful Day' and 'Vertigo' on a hot summer night was bliss.

The stage was totally brilliant. It looked like something from War of the Worlds, and just before U2 were due on, 'Major Tom' was played full blast and smoke came out of all 4 legs. The Edge and Bono were, of course, the best and spent much of the concert running around the 360 stage - it had a ring around it with 2 movable bridges.

Best of all we found a sneaky way home that meant of the other 79,998 people in the stadium with us, only about 10 came that way - so seats and playing Book Worm on the iPhone - perfect end to an excellent night.
