We went to see U2 in concert at Wembley Stadium last night.
It was a good concert, and the tickets were only £30, which is even cheaper than they have ever been in NZ.
The have a pretty wicked stage for this tour. It is a big crab type thing, which gives clear views from almost every angle, so they can sell seats around the whole stadium.
The two bridges rotate around, and the TV screens can move and extend up and down. The band all have wireless mics and instruments, so they can walk around that outside ring and give all the fans in the standing area a close up look.
The drummer was stuck in the middle for most of the show though, except a song where he just played bongo drums.

Because of the stage, they had the most people ever in Wembley for a concert, around 88000 for our night, and over 90000 the night before.
Here are a few more pics of the stage from the u2.com website

We left in the middle of the last song, so we could get a jump on everyone else, and get the tube without having to wait in line for an hour, like we did with the trains after the Rugby World Cup.
