U2 at Telstra Stadium
Fantastic concert! Had to wait a year before they finally came, but I don’t think anyone was disappointed! Set list for the night.
Crowd shot
Another crowd shot
“Coexist”: I think this was put up around the time Sunday Bloody Sunday and Miss Sarajevo were played
Aussie flag sans Union Jack: U2 were probably playing to the right demographic for that political statement
Everyone waving their mobile phones in the air: doesn’t come out very well in the pic, but the effect was cool
I thought it was a better show at Madison Square Garden in New York, but that was probably because it wasn’t open air and was a more “intimate venue” where Bono could interact with the crowd a lot more (it ran longer, Bono chatted a bit more, guest appearance by Mary J Blige for One, a few audience members were dragged on stage to help sing, etc). But on the other hand, Telstra Stadium did have 75,000 people, and that creates quite an atmosphere.

Great photos! Frances and I were there too – she made pretty much exactly the same comparative comments about her experience seeing them in Montreal – I think our conclusion was that Telstra Stadium is just too big for concerts.
nice photos stu. I saw them in boston in a more intimate venue and thought that was much better too. at stadium australia it was basically one stage with very little movement.
are you going to the law school reunion on thursday?
btw I noticed that you were also working on Project Y too…one of a few UNSW people I noticed.
That Co-exist photo is one hot item.
I initially read “U2 were probably playing to the right demographic” as “U2 were probably playing to the Right demographic” and was thinking, no, that’s not accurate…
