The only thing I want to say is that I planned my holidays for July when I knew that U2 were playing here in August. I wanted to see them last summer in London (Earl’s Court) but the 5 nights were sold out! And my flat was just in front! I’m already dreaming about this concert! I saw on TV “Live in Boston” and it was GREATTTTT! They are getting better and better! Please!!! Never forget Portugal! WE LOVE U GUYS!
