52 -- U2 -- Thursday, October 1, 2009 – Scott Stadium – Charlottesville, VA

Zzzzzzzzzzz. Unless it’s in Fairfax and free, I will never go to another U2 concert.

In the past, I’ve enjoyed a number of U2 songs: “Sunday Bloody Sunday,” "Vertigo," “In the Name of Love,” “New Years Day,” “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For,” “Beautiful Day.” And that night, I could not help but be impressed by the stagecraft: the band and crowd were surrounded by a friggin’ four-story spaceship! In the end, though, I could not get past the fact that the songs were boring live. Bono meandered through melody after melody, and I started to nod off.

“Soft” rock is acceptable; “sleepy” rock is not.
