My 1st concert, I was 16, coming from Limerick my mother dropped us at a bus stop in Mitchelstown, but to save money we thumbed to Cork, absolutely brilliant concert, we're up the front for most of it but moved to the terrace for bullet in the blue sky, the light show was amazing, only regret was a friend got a class t shirt, I've tried to get for years but can't, on the front was smell the flower and on the back was the word one, in loads of different languages, we left the concert but our accommodation fell through so spent the night on the streets of Cork... Haven't miss a concert since

U2 Cork 1993
I will never forget this concert. I was right up the front and it was the most unforgettable experiance. The whole stage was amazing, even more than the 360 stage, dare I say that?
Zooropa is one of my favourite albums but Auctung baby really came out in the live shows. The style and the audiance experiance of the gig won me over as a U2 fan. I have been ever since.
Cork gig night was a beautiful summer evening, the buzz from the city centre out to the venue was unbelievable. We made a few pub stops on the way. Moments I will never forget was when Bono sang satalite of love with Lou Reed (on video). and an absolutly unbeaten version of love is blindness near the end.

2 Stand out memories: MacPhisto beckoned to the crowd looking for a cigarette lighter during LOVE IS BLINDNESS and about 20 lighters ended up at his feet... My hands were black from holding two lighters aloft during 'One'...
