A Fabulous Night!

Anyone want to guess where I was last night?



No, I wasn't at home studying hard (I did that during the day);


I wasn't speaking at an evangelistic event (that's tonight - thanks for your prayers)





So where was I you ask?



I was at the U2 concert!



It was fantastic. A phonecall on Sunday afternoon sealed the deal, with Emily inviting me to come along with her as Luke stayed at home with the baby (who was meant to attend the concert in April in utero!).

Lots of funny moments - Elevation turned into a parody of 'spining around' in the middle as a tribute to Kylie, who also featured as the angel in Angel of Harlem. Bono singing I Should Be So Lucky in falsetto towards the end was also memorable. Old favourites played a big part, with a good run of my favourites back to back. Highlight for me was Beautiful Day, with With or Without you in the first encore a close second. Only downside was that Emily's favourite - Yahweh didn't make the playlist for the final concert.

It was a great spectacle, the sound was fabulous and their was heaps of energy. I enjoyed the ad-libbing, with 'Sydney' and "Telstra stadium' making it into more than one song, as did 'Party Boy'.

A wonderful break in the middle of stuvac! Still plugging away slowly at Matthew and Hebrews - I'll get there by next Thursday.
