| Saw U2 here last fall, and I gotta tell you, it sure beat the Tweeter Center. Most of that was probably because of the cool heart-shaped stage. Sound was good, facilities were clean and comfortable. Thumbs up. Now if the Bulls could just pull it together...
DONOVAN'S U2 CONCERT REVIEW OF U2 at the United Center Il. Location: U2 United Center, Chicago Il Dates: Saturday May 12, 2001 & Sunday May 13, 2001 I realize that I'm not special. There's nothing particular about me that sets me apart from the rest. As much as I'd like to believe that I stand out from the crowd, I don't. I'm simply one of the millions worldwide that considers U2 their favorite band. I can't say that I've seen more concerts, downloaded more MP3s, followed the band longer, or sacrificed more lambs in their honor. All I can say is that I'm a huge fan, and that I've held them in the highest regard for over a dozen years. In fact, I think it's completely fair to say that Bono has been my surrogate mother. Especially during the teenage years, I can fully credit Bono for raising and nurturing me. When I felt angry or sad or alone or excited, U2 was the right thing to listen to. There was a theme song for every one of my moods, and Bono was unwavering in his dependability. He always knew what to say. And Uncle Adam, Aunt Edge, and Cousin Larry were always close behind to complete the support group. Like any good alcoholic Irish family, U2 always had a way to deflect my feelings and fears, so I didn't have to deal with them in a healthy manner. I would come home and say to my stereo, "Mama Bono, the beautiful girl at school lanced my heart today." And Bono would say, "Hush, little one. Let me play 'So Cruel' for you." Or I would say, "Mama Bono, I want to celebrate, and the kid that normally deals me LSD is fresh out." And Bono would say, "You deserve happiness. Listen to 'Rejoice'." Or I would say, "Mama Bono, I'm embarrassed because I got lost while driving my car." And Bono would say, "I think I know that place, 'Where The Streets Have No Name'." Now, I don't mean to disrespect my biological mother. But she could never quite hit all the notes on 'Pride'. The song that could always match any sentiment was 'Bad'. Not only is it my favorite U2 song, it is my favorite song, period (Rick Astley's 'Never Gonna Give You Up' is a close second). No matter what my mood, 'Bad' could amplify or modify my feelings, depending on what I needed most. The song's range of pace could even elicit several emotions at one time. I could imagine my feelings as part of the song lyrics, when Bono launched into his Jesse-Jackson-like rhyming toward the end: "Isolation, desolation, temptation, aggravation, elation..." (okay, so I used to ad-lib a few lyrics). Just when I thought I had my feelings sorted out, Bono would sing, "Now fade away!" and the song would do anything but. It gassed up, and the roller coaster tossed me every which way. As the song mellowed at the end, it would drop me like an infant falling from the arms of a crack-head mother, and leave me on the floor, drained. I know, listening to U2 music sounds like an unconventional way to deal with adolescence, but it was cheaper than therapy and easier to turn off than parents. I was kidding about Rick Astley, by the way. Needless to say, I was eagerly anticipating the sold-out Elevation Tour shows at the United Center in Chicago. I had seen U2 three times before – twice on the lawn at the World Music Theater during Zoo TV (Bono was shitfaced and hoarse one of the nights) and once on the PopMart Tour in the upper-back corner of Soldier Field (which was only slightly closer to the stage than Gary, Indiana). My first Elevation show was Saturday night, the first Chicago date. My friends and I had planned on avoiding the opening act, PJ Harvey, because my buddy "didn't want to get there an hour early to listen to that lame-ass black comedian" (I'm still not sure if he was thinking of the PJ's or Steve Harvey). Still accustomed to the pomp and ego of PopMart, we assumed U2 would begin their set late... but they didn't. So we arrived during the third song. The feeling of regret was a bit like missing your child's first steps. But as soon as I stepped on the floor, shoving my way past an elderly couple and the handicapped section, the performance hit me like the heat of a bonfire, and the regret was gone. I was in the show. The performance was amazing. And it was performance, not a spectacle like the last two tours. This was U2, not the fabricated entity that had been playing off of glitz and glamour and media and technology. Not that I didn't enjoy the other shows, but this show was about the music and about the fans. And it was about U2 enjoying themselves, in the moment. In fact, they had begun the show by simply walking onto the stage with the house lights on – completely opposite of the pretentious Vegas entrances of the previous shows. Both shows that I attended began with the song 'Elevation', but from there the shows diverged. The two shows were 50% disparate, incorporating different songs, varied lighting and theatrics, faux-spontaneous crowd interaction, and even unique arrangements of repeated songs (most notably, 'Sunday Bloody Sunday', 'New York', 'Mysterious Ways', and 'Walk On' were changed from one night to the next). Without recounting every song, some of my highlights over the two nights included: Most endearing of all was how U2 seemed so... I don't know... grateful. They were enthusiastic about playing the same old songs to the same old fans. They appeared happy to be there, and happy to be showing the crowd a good time. It was extremely refreshing to witness, considering everyone in the world, from the Pope to Bill Clinton, has been hanging from their nuts. Fitting then, was that the shows ended with 'Walk On', and Bono singing the words of celestial praise, "Hallelujah, hallelujah!" Amen to that. Hallelujah, U2.U2 T- Shirts are available to purchase before thier show. We have U2 Chicago United Center Tickets available for all nights of the U2 United Center Chicago Sold out shows.
