A Magical Night With U2

Star-struck.
Goosebumps.
Heart-pounding.

All of the above aptly describe my evening in Boston last night, as I was one of a very few fortunate people to see U2 at the Somerville Theatre as they performed 5 songs and took questions from the audience.

At the last minute, I was asked to join the WHOM winners for this exclusive performance. Surreal.

Below is a video clip taken of the band leaving their hotel, outside the venue before sound check-and even a bit of the performance:

As if the night couldn’t get any better, a select few radio and industry people were bused to a restaurant called Upstairs at the Square (in Harvard Square) following the performance, where we able to MEET U2 in person! I had the pleasure of chatting with Bono for a couple of minutes-and he was so down-to-earth, self deprecating and funny that it seemed as if he actually ENJOYED the “schmoozing” that is part of their job—I think he really does. It was, in all respects, a magical night in Boston
