After the U2 show at Levis Stadium I wissed I was going to see another Joshua Tree show so when they announced U2 and Beck at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego I knew I needed to go.  Getting a GA ticket was a requirement so I posted on the U2 torrent site my need for a code and got a message from u2lemonman who generously offered a code for 2 seats.  I got the tickets and offered the second one to my taping brother Scooter123 and plans made. Day of show I left my house in the SF Bay Area at 5:20AM, drove to LA and met Scooter123 and a friend of his.  Loaded up their car and drove down to San Diego.  We got to our cheap motel at 3:15 and checked in with my friend Melanie who was at the venue providing intel on security.  There was lots of conflicting info on what was and wasn't allowed in which was important on our approach to getting gear in.  We got in and parked.  Met some other friends and went to the GA entry gate.  Since entry was using a credit card both of us needed to succeed or neither of us would. We walked up to the entry and were directed to a particular line where we walked in without any back check, wanding or patdown.  It must have been Jedi Mind Tricks.  We are not the droids you are looking for.

Once in we got set up and found our spot dead center and a bit to the right of the "b" stage.  It is crowded but not uncomfortable as Beck starts.  This is not an artist I am familiar with but I found some songs to be very good. The crowd was good until this jackass pushes between Scooter123 and me and then parks himself right in front of me where there is no room.  He then pushes back on me to create space, turns around and starts yelling at me that I can't reserve space.  Somehow he got his 35mm camera in and starts taking pictures of the screens.  I am sure you can hear the shutter clicks.  I can only hope he sees this on a torrent site so he can see he is an idiot.  The
highlight of the Beck set was the band intros where they played snippets of a variety of songs.  Between sets both Scooter 123 and I sat down to hold space and save our old legs.  Many of the people around us gave us a hard time but whatever.  We finally stood up and the break lasted forever.

U2 finally comes on as the band comes out to the "b" stage to start Sunday Bloody Sunday.  I am looking forward to Larry Mullen Jr as everyone around me is looking left towards Bono and the rest of the band.  The crowd is going crazy through all of the but the loudest people are behind me.  I was very glad to be running the MK41 hypercardiod mics as the crowd noise isn't too bad.  After the start U2 digs into Joshua Tree which was my favorite U2 album.  I While some people found the visuals distracting I really enjoyed them.  I have driven the road they show in the Streets video on my way to and from my property in Joshua Tree.  There were two other visuals that I am pretty certain I recognized.  For the most part the crowd was great.  There was a guy behind me who was there with his wife and teenage daughters that was really into it.  At the end of the set you can hear him a bit but not too bad.  By the end of the set my back and legs
were feeling the effects of the long day.  The encore seemed longer than the last time and enjoyed every second of it.  When they ended the show with Ultraviolet and One I was done.  Made it out to the car and met everyone.  It took almost an hour and a half to get to the hotel and we all passed out.  We woke up and went to breakfast at the same place Melanie and Bob were staying so they met us for 
breakfast.  I finally said we got to go since I had a long drive home.  Finally made it back as the sun set and here is the show, the next morning.
