U2 Live in Chicago on September 12, 2009
On September 12, 2009 I saw my 10th U2 concert and it was a good one (it was my wife's 8th show!). I thought I would go off topic today on IHEC Blog and create this online "bootleg" of the show with links to video on YouTube. Please note that these are not professional videos and were shot by people in the audience and each video provides a unique perspective of the concert including variations in the audio. Here are some interesting videos of U2 in Chicago as well as the setlist (click on each title or song to link to the video):
MLK (view minutes 0:00 to 1:54)
Walk On/You'll Never Walk Alone (snippet) (view minutes 1:54 to 8:26)
encore:
Time permitting I will create a similar "bootleg" for the U2 concert I saw the following day on September 13, 2009.
*Many thanks to The U2 Setlist Archive at <http://www.u2setlists.com/> for the excellent resource and the one I turn to every tour. Keep it up!

A Little Pride On MLK Day
On this MLK holiday I feel that a little Pride (In the Name of Love) and City of Blinding Lights fom U2 at the Inauguration Concert yesterday is appropriate. You can watch U2's contribution here.
Some of you might also enjoy watching their rehersal from the night before. You can watch that footage here.
