Novel idea: see a band, stay sober
Back in town after five great days and three amazing nights in Dublin. Great music, great people and a bloody great tan are my spoils. I've never been keen on seeing U2 in Ireland, it's always been a little disappointing (everybody in audience drunk, band too nervous to perform properly), but for once they brought it home and the crowd wasn't legless. In fact, they were totally into it, from the back to the front to the highest seats in the stadium. Maybe in this new Ireland, U2 finally have found the audience they deserve.
