This was my very first
U2 show *ever*. I had packed my camera with ISO 800 Kodak Max film
and was hoping for the best. One roll was in the camera, the other
in my pocket. Sometimes I remembered to cover the flash, other times
I didn't. My vantage point that night was on the rail in front of
Adam Clayton. There was a speaker or light or WHATEVER in front
of us, so even if Adam was only a few feet away, there was this
huge thing blocking our view of his feet and the back of the stage.
A security guard was also really nearby and even though I tried
really hard I couldn't always photograph around him. My camera was
a cheap Canon Snappy LX, several years old with no zoom, no flash
modes... nothing. I'm surprised some of these turned out as well
as they did. The fourth night in Boston was amazing. The scuffle
between Bono and the security guards happened right in front of
us. I could have gotten great pictures, but I think I was so shocked
at what was happening that I didn't take any. Oh, well. If anyone
has any, please e-mail
me!
The guy who ran up on
stage during "Walk On" at Boston 4 has written out his
story including some pictures of him and Bono that night. It's a
cool read. Go check it out at this
URL. You'll be glad you did. Thanks for sharing, Diamond!
