Thanks! I continue to be amazed by your longevity as a band and I applaud the way you managed to connect with 88,000 fans at Wembley on Friday night. I've grown up with you guys, becoming a fan with the release of War, attending as many gigs as I could, and all the while thinking you four just keep getting better and better. However; the sound was a bit ropey boys... and dare I say it... the global awareness political soapbox bit is getting tiresome.
forever a fangirl,

Dear Wembley Stadium,
I'd like to take this opportunity to say Wow! The stadium is truly huge and impressive, the queues (even for the loo) were short, and considering the quantity of people packed inside it emptied efficiently and quickly at the end of the show. Unfortunately I have some issues to pick though... Considering how much I paid for the tickets in Block 105, Row 44 I was disappointed to find the view obscured by the overhang of tier above us and we could've done without the 100watt light bulb above our heads that remained on the ENTIRE time... blah blah health & safety nonsense... I needed a sun visor.
GA all the way... next time,
Sarah

Dear couple next to me during U2 show,
Hi! Remember me? I was the one that was enjoying myself :) Did you have somewhere better to be... because between checking your watch, sitting down and (I swear to god) having a nap it didn't look like you were feeling it. If you were bored you should have been watching the guy in front of you Twitter thru the whole show... his updates were hysterical. To be honest I was glad when you left but did you have to throw your drink over me and my camera while you were trying to get your jacket on? And then step on my feet to get past me?
you're both assholes,
Sarah

Dear Wembley Stadium Station,
It's not often that I sing the praises of British efficiency but holy shit you're awesome! To have that many people empty out of a stadium that huge and to have a good 70% of them taking the train home is a recipe for chaos. Your signposting was excellent, the queuing system fast and when it was our turn on the platform it was a 4 minute wait for the train. 30 minutes from leaving our concert seats to being sat on the train pulling away from the station. Amazing! Well done you!
next pint's on me,
Sarah
