We've had tickets to U2's 360 concert tour for a year and a half. We got them as part of a package of Angels baseball tickets I got for John's Christmas gift back in 2009 (for the concert in June 2010). Bono injured his back last year and the concert was postponed. So, I've had yellowing concert tickets pinned to my bulletin board for 18 months.
On Friday night, we were so excited to go to the concert. We went to Lone Star for dinner on the way (yea restaurants.com). We paid to park, got a good spot and as we were going through security, we were told that the old tickets we had were for Saturday night. (It was impossible to find out -- I searched on the internet and even called and talked to someone at the Angels tickets office.)
We got our $25 parking fee back, went to McDonald's for ice cream cones and just went home -- we both tried to have a good attitude knowing we'd be coming back the next night -- which we did.
Saturday night felt like a total deja vu experience -- at least up to the time we actually used our tickets to get in the gates. As usual, were there a little early (I am kind of a freaky about getting places early -- or at least very on time.)
The opening act was Lenny Kravitz -- amazing. I've always loved the song "Are You Gonna Go My Way" (great guitar). Kravitz's playlist included that song as "It Ain't Over Till It's Over," "American Woman," and "Fly." 
Once U2 came on -- it was just an amazing spectacle -- the staging was phenomonal and it was hard to imagine that all that great music came out of these four guys!JH
John and I are not rocker fans and generally avoid large arena/stadium venues,
