29 September, 2011 A wonderful first time experience
I grew up listening to U2, often times being ridiculed by my friends for being a fan of an old band from the 80's. I started listening at age five to the album Joshua Tree and by age six knew every lyric to every song. At age ten I spent my summer saving up mowing lawns so I could buy the complete collection release on Itunes when it first came out. There I was, three months ago, walking in to a concert I had been dreaming of for years. They played every song I loved, from the echoing chords of Until the End of the World, all the way to the intimate moment of I still haven't found what I'm looking for. I have looked back on that concert every day, and at the sheer splendor of the most incredible band in the world at the moment. You can have your Coldplay, your Metallica, and your opera, I'm a kid U2 fan and couldn't be more proud I attended this concert

27 August, 2011 Best birthday present ever
I planned the trip to Baltimore to see U2 as a surprise birthday present for my wife, and she absolutely loved it. By far the best concert we\'ve been to, from the band opening with four \"Achtung Baby\" tracks to the soaring spiritualism of \"Still Haven\'t Found What I\'m Looking For\" and the eternal hopefulness of \"Beautiful Day.\" Bono appeared moved to the point of tears when the crowd continued singing \"Pride\" to the band after the last instrumental notes had faded, and he wasn\'t the only one. It was a truly an uplifting, once-in-a-lifetime experience. My intention was for the surprise trip and concert to be one of those things you look back on when you\'re older and think, \"Man, that was incredible.\" The concert fulfilled every wish and more. Every moment, every note, every sentiment, every sound (spoken, sung and otherwise) that came from the band was exactly right - nothing more and nothing less than was needed.

My First Concert.
I live in India and I was in Baltimore for an internship program. This was my first concert and i don\'t think it could have been any better. Words cant justify to what i felt with U2 and 75000 people. It felt that we all connected to create a mural. My best track was moment of surrender. and my moment of surrender was towards the end of \'Pride\' when Bono stopped singing but people continued and he expressed how grateful he was to the crowd for being their tonight. Might sound naive but felt as if he was saying that to me.I dont think i will ever forget that night. I can\'t wait to see them again. Hope that they play in India too.

17 August, 2011 Wish I could agree with the rest of you.
Since my wife has been a huge U2 fan for a few decades, I surprised her with tickets to the Baltimore show. Unfortunately, the acoustic distortion was so severe in our direction that we couldn\'t even recognize half of the songs. I\'m glad the rest of you had such an amazing time!

05 July, 2011 1st Time in GA
Awesome...Awesome...Awesome. It was my 1st time in GA section and I was inside circle. Unbelievable. Except for a few bozos who pushed, elbowed, and shoved their way into a prime spot, the crowd was very mature and polite. I got great photos and wish I could share more of them with you.

29 June, 2011 Pretty damn good
So this was my 16th U2 show and 5th of the 360 tour but certainly not my last. I got to the GA line at 10:30am and was number 234. Pretty good if you ask me. after waiting outside all day and meeting some great people we finally got organized at about 3:30 to get our wristbands. I have to say that the Security at M&T bank Stadium was the best I have seen at any show I have been to. they knew what they were doing, kept the piece and didnt take crap from nobody. they were also very friendly. As for the show it was not my favorite that I have seen but it was still very good. the band seemed excited to be there, I was alittle concerned because of the the upcoming Glastonbury performance. but they brought everything they had and even on this hot muggy night they hung in there. Bono slashed water on us a few times in the inner circle, OMG it felt great. Zooropa, the Fly and Even Better Than the Real Thing were my highlights. All in all a great day and night albeit HOT and sweaty but totally worth it. See you in Toronto boys. Cant wait.

27 June, 2011 Best U2 show to date!
The heat and humidity only added to the show! Hearing The Fly was such a treat! The woman standing next to me caught the rose Bono dropped into the pit. I was not prepared for him to drop it! LOL :) Looking forward to the show in Pittsburgh!!

25 June, 2011 U2 in Baltimore
Thank you U2 for coming to Baltimore!! It was an incredible concert!! I have been a fan for 30 yrs and my last concert was in 1987 at RFK for the Joshua Tree Tour.

24 June, 2011 Zooropa
AMAZING!!! This being the third time seeing U2 in my life, I must confess it truly was the best. Not only was the air thick with humidity, the heat from the stage made it even hotter. Opening with a few from Achtung Baby - wow wow wow. The fact that the shows leading up to Baltimore all had "snippets" of songs made me worry I would be treated to bits and pieces of new material rather than the songs I love (relax, I always love new material but I have yet to have an emotional attachment to it to give it my full passionate fist pumping :)) Hearing the opening guitar on Zooropa turned me into a frenzied lunatic. I have always wanted to hear this live and there it was - blaring from the speakers - the blue light of the fully extended video screen soaking us all in its glow - I felt as one with the music. As I always say about seeing U2 live...I am an atheist but when I see U2, for those two hours, I am a believer!

24 June, 2011 Perfection!
My 3rd 360 show - this was the best of the 3! The band looked like they were having as much fun as we were in the audience. Thank you for a non-stop roller coaster ride. Wish I could get back in line and ride it again. Sadly, this was my last 360 show. Best of luck with the rest of the tour!

24 June, 2011 Wow
80K people at M&T stadium was quite the sight. The show was amazing. I think the most memorable moment was during CIty of Blinding lights when the arena lit up and you could see just how many people were rocking out to the show.

24 June, 2011 Just WOW
This is the 2nd time I saw this tour. Saw them at Soldier Field in Chicago and now drove to Baltimore from Buffalo NY to see them with my brother who hadnt seen them since the Joshua Tree tour. All I have to say is WOW what a great set for Baltimore to see. I loved it even more the second time and now want to get tickets for the Toronto show. Great job guys I dont know how you had so much energy in that heat and humidity.

24 June, 2011 A Great Life
Thank you for providing the soundtrack to our great life, U2. Our 6th show and by far the best, as we made the inner circle and Bono sang Miss Sarajevo just to us--the perfect 10th anniversary gift! Hopefully there will be many more to come, so we can take our kids Paul and Grace (aptly named) next time. Thank you, love you, see you soon!

23 June, 2011 Anyone else with "reserved field seats"
Great show, great night.
Except for the fact our tickets had a section, row, seat number all on them but when we got to the field we were told there are no reserved seats and the inner circle was full.
Did anyone else have this experience

23 June, 2011 Unbelieveable organization
I have to say this was THE best in terms of organazation between U2 security and venue security. i think in the past venue security is not prepared for the large crowd. The secuirty that works for Ravens secuirty has worked many superbowl events and knew what to expect. They were willing to work with U2 security and fans to make it the best possible. The GA line was ordely and kept in order. They brough us in 100 at a time....counting I know 1...2....3...4...etc (at least for the first 100). I was #53. They line the first 100 into 5 pens and we went in pen by pen. So the person who was #1 in line actually got front stage center...as it should be!! Kudos also to organaztion once in the gate. They had loads of security lining where we enetered the field keeping people from running and pushing. They also divided us up as we hit the floor so some enerteed stage ;eft and some stage right to the inner circle. Fantastic, is all I can say. Well done to everyone. Now, the band, well needless to say it was amazing. Adam was all smiles last night, unfortunately not shirtless. :) Thank you boys for filling my heart with so much joy, as always

23 June, 2011 Amazing and heartache
I was, as always, amazed by U2 - this is my third concert on this tour alone. I have to admit though I was heartsick that U2 did not at least acknowledge what happened in Northern Ireland the day before ... maybe before, after Bloody Sunday...
Regardless of the politics, the show made me dance, scream, sing and weep, exactly right.
Thank you, as always, for your music

What really impressed my wife was all the political statements and unselfish love for humanity. What impressed me the most was Bono’s statement, “thanks for giving us a great life”.

23 June, 2011 Dream come true
Definitely a show I didn’t want to miss. Since I discovered U2 around 17 years old, I’ve had nothing but good vibes whenever I heard their music. Whether on the radio, record, tape, CD and now MP3, so many memories have been built on their lyrics and melody… over 25 years. Wow!

23 June, 2011 missed the show...
We had our tickets and a hotel room reserved... but ended up delivering our baby that evening instead! At least our tickets have her birthday on them.
