Many people have likened a U2 concert to a spiritual experience, an assessment with which I would agree. I happened to have General Admission floor seats to the last tour when I went to two shows. The tickets were $45/piece and I was no more than 25 feet away from the band on either night. Paying $130 for a seat is ludicrous, but if you want to just waltz in at any old time and be close to the stage it's right up your alley. You can get closer for cheaper if you're willing to wait in line from about 2 or 3 in the afternoon, like I did. U2 does indeed play a long set, usually about 24 songs, with quality openers such as Stereophonics or No Doubt who play for about an hour beforehand. I still think they put on the best show in rock n' roll, but then again, I don't really dig being surrounded by Hells Angels and NASCAR fans like I would be at a Metallica show.
