Summary: 

I saw U2 in San Francisco about a month ago and it was one of the finest
concerts I have been to, except for the fact that I lost my shoes.  Bono
can hit all the high notes that he does in the studio.  One thing I
wondered was how, as a four piece, the would have guitar, piano, bass,
drums and vocals in one song (with bono only singing) (like "New Years
day). Well, The Edge plays the guitar as he sits at the piano and
changes back and fourth.  I too have a lot of respect for a band like
U2.  Why?  One thing is that they do what you went to the concert to
see-- play music.  They don't swear all the time like many bands (in
fact they did no swear at either of the San Francisco shows).  Another
thing, when a boy jumped on stage, Bono shook his hand and the roadies
escorted him off stage.  At most concerts (rock) the roadies bounce the
guy around (I guess to discourage others) and probably have a field day
with him when they get him backstage.
