An elderly man lay dying in his bed. While suffering the agonies of impending death, he suddenly smelled the aroma of his favourite biscuits wafting up the stairs. He gathered his remaining strength, and lifted himself from the bed.
Leaning on the wall, he slowly made his way out of the bedroom, and with even greater effort, gripping the railing with both hands, he crawled downstairs. With laboured breath, he leaned against the door-frame, gazing into the kitchen.
Were it not for death's agony, he would have thought himself already in heaven, for there, spread out upon waxed paper on the kitchen table were literally hundreds of his favourite biscuits. Was it heaven? Or was it one final act of love from his devoted Aussie wife of sixty years, seeing to it that he left this world a happy man?
Mustering one great final effort, he threw himself towards the table, landing on his knees in crumpled posture. His aged and withered hand trembled towards a biscuit at the edge of the table, when it was suddenly smacked by his wife with a spatula.............
"F##k off" she said, "they're for the funeral."

Wazzy visuals on the big wall
My camera/phone really doesn't cope
You'll just have to trust me that it looked really cool!
I probably should have noted down the song order.. 
Adam headed out into the crowd.
"One Tree Hill" is "our" song,
so U2 took the opportunity to insert some Kiwiana...
Then we discover what the wall is really capable of,
as Bono walks out into the crowd and the wall displays his camera feed
Meet the walking man.
Song dedicated to Bono's dad.
Too much for my camera/phone
Should have taken my real camera,
not that it does much better in the dark...
More big screen imagery
U2's political statements aren't always subtle.
The older tracks often had the band in B&W or Sepia tones
Crowd goes wild!
Bono not only personalised some of the lyrics,
but also the visuals
Guess which song this is.
Um...
I suspect this is "With or Without You"
While Bono is serenading a girl from the crowd.
"The Saints Are Coming" was a huge hit
Shout-outs to Tim (who went back Saturday too!), Rick, Chris, Ben, Pete, Kate, Adele, Mike & Karen who I saw from a distance (only 10m) but didn't manage to see you all afterwards (caught Tim, Rick, Chris and Ben).
U2 are now on to Japan and then the finale in Hawaii.
I missed them last time they came to NZ (early 90's), so I've been waiting a long time for this and it rocked!
Stay tuned for (probably crappy) videos from that night.

My usual blog is serious, this one, is not...
May contain ADULT content!
Hi, I'm Craig, I work for Chapman Tripp, a large New Zealand Law firm. I live and work in Auckland and this blog is just to pick out some of the high/lowlights of my days working for lawyers, dealing with ISPs/telco's and trying to write code [yup, sometimes I manage to do this]. This blog in no way reflects the views of my employer or anyone else for that matter.
