The Best Night of the Summer

Even after having endured a long delay from the time we bought our tickets and then a driving rainstorm throughout most of the event, last night's U2 concert at TCF Stadium will surely go down as the best night of the summer. As the local headline read, "Unforgettable."

There are bands, and then there are BANDS. Right? U2 is one of those BANDS that is capable of filling large arenas anywhere in the world. The crowd on Saturday evening certainly reflected the appeal--from the very young to, I'll just say, more mature, and yet here we were, all cheering and singing together.

The downpours, occasional lightning bolts, and Aquatennial fireworks off in the distance only made the evening more memorable. I'm sure that years from now, we'll still be talking about the best concert we ever saw on a wet summer night in July of 2011.
