#93 Athens Olympic Stadium...



















The next time I see them would be almost a year later!  The summer's tour dates were cancelled and rescheduled because of Bono's emergency back surgery...Lucky for me Athens and Turkey were still on.

#88 Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame 25th Anniversary show...



















At Madison Square Garden.  Leslie and I were lucky enough to score free tix.  The only problem was we had a somewhat obstructed view as the seats were directly behind the stage...but got to see people buzzing backstage.  A plethora of legends and superstars, and amazing performances including Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith, Aretha Franklin, Lenny Kravitz, Annie Lennox, Jerry Lee Lewis, Mick Jagger, Black Eyed Peas, Metallica, Lou Reed, Ray Davies, Jeff Beck, and I'm probably forgetting a few.  Seriously amazing to behold so much talent in one place.  The boys headlined and blew the roof off!  They did an amazing version of Patti Smith's "Because the night" with her and Bruce.

#87 one year anniversary!



























One year ago today Melissa and I met Adam Clayton on the upper east side. It was serendipitous, amazing and completely genuine!

#86 You Can Keep This Suit Of Lights...
























For the dramatic final encore, Bono emerges in a suit of lights complete with fog machines and a hanging microphone he also swings off.  The way the light refracts on the fog creates an intense dancing red atmosphere.  No boredom here.

#84 Carnegie Hall...
























A celebration for Gavin Friday's birthday.  Many special guests including the boyz, Lady Gaga, Courtney Love, the list goes on...

Funny story, as I was posing for this photo an old man wandering by stopped to ask me if I was performing and took a picture with my name on the poster.  I had to let him down.  I wish I were that cool.

#83 Saturday Night Live...



















Chateau looking kind of bored to be hobos for U2.  But sleeping on the street paid off!  We totally got in and U2 played three songs and it was magic.  We got seated in the balcony but right in front of the musical stage and we were the last two people they let in.  Luck be a lady...always!

#82 Bono Shares his Shades...



















During City of Blinding Lights, Bono likes to find a young member of the audience and shares his shades with them.  It's a song about naivety and youth.  Very fitting...

#79 Love that Guitar...



















Edge has had this guitar since Boy.  It's still pretty cool all these years later!
