U2
Ghettolands II
July 21st

Dude, it was like 1991/92 all over again (started off with 4 straight Achtung babies!! BUT NO ‘ZOO STATION’????), and then it wasn’t (How To Assemble A Great Concert With No Lines On The Horizon That Can’t Be Left Behind), and no one was bothered whatsoever, cause U2’s 21st century output is stadium rocking ready, and boy, did that stadium rock, and their performance was juss as on target and point and awsomes as it was when we first saw them on the Zoo TV tour at RFK stadium.  And even wethinks it was even better than the thing thang we saw at Ghettolands I 2 years ago.  These guys are good, perhaps maybe even TOOO good

The 25th Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
Anniversary Concerts – Night 2
Madison Square Garden
Rocktober 30th

after Thursday’s all-time time-edness we knew there was no possible way that Friday’s show, even with or w/o Clapton in the line-up, could ever match it. damns, we hate beings right, and the show being 2ish hours shorter than the previous one didn’t help splatters much. Jeff Beck is a fine guitarist and all, but they really shoulda gotzen someone else, someone nameier to take Clapton’s place since his balls were recovering from being gladdered

we won’t go on much more, cause we’re still beyond bewildered at the Black Eyed Poops’ guest participation in the proceedings. we hactually don’t believe in a Hall of Fame for music, especially if Donovan aint in it… yet, but to have Fergie and those other pooples share a stage with U2 and Mick Jagger is juss out flat insulting, especially to anyone who knows anything about good music

speaking of, forgot this story from night one, but now’s a better time than never to share it: during Stevie Wonder’s set, a mid-50ish woman turned to me and said, wouldn’t it be great if Adam Lambert came out and dueted with him? I said, is he that American Idol guy? she said yes and I said, no, not really

regardless, it was still a night to remember, with Ozzy bourne again + Patti & Bruce becauseing the night, but all in all it juss wasn’t as memorable as night one
