Bono - up close and almost personal

The Edge - still sharp as ever with his guitar

the 2-hour spectacle had all U2 enjoying their time

These two may have enjoyed the most! U2 is a common favorite!

U2 360 Concert at Toronto
Rogers Centre, Toronto Canada

There is one band who I admire for their songs - both the lyrics and their meaning and to their advocacies outside of the music world. U2.

Their performance last Wednesday night has cemented this and only proved that after 30 years, they still have it!

Is there any band that comes close to what this band has accomplished? The recent surge in popularity of the Beatles comes close if not a close second. That could be blasphemous to most Beatles-fan, which also includes me.

U2 is the band of my generation and if they continue to write the same type of anthemic songs with meaning, with their stand on world issues - it will remain to be the band of these generation too. And for future generations.

Their set list included the following:

1. Breathe
2. No Line On The Horizon
3. Get On Your Boots
4. Magnificent
5. Beautiful Day
6. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For/Stand By Me
7. Elevation
8. Your Blue Room
9. Unknown Caller
10. Until The End of the World
11. Stay (Far Away, So Close)
12. The Unforgettable Fire
13. City of Blinding Lights
14. Vertigo/Pump It Up
15. I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight
16. Sunday Bloody Sunday
17. MLK
18. Walk On

Encore 1:
19. One/Amazing Grace
20. Where The Streets Have No Name

Encore 2:
21. Ultraviolet (Light My Way)
22. With or Without You
23. Moment of Surrender

Videos are posted here, here and here. The slideshow of images during the great night is here.

Great shot from high above, may God's eye view :) Thank you God for giving U2 to us and for the great night!

Sibling Revelry in SingaporePart 2

Funny to recall how our 2.5 day stay in Singapore was. I could start off with the great food. This almost made me fail a medical exam for insurance :) hahaha. What about the booboo of going back almost on foot to a mall kilometers away just to get back SG$ 27.00 in tax rebate?

My best memory remains bonding with my sisters at the Esplanade after mass with no cares, as if we were back in Las Pinas and really hamming it up. The only people missing are Mama and Paparazzi. Wish they were there!

Sa susunod...
