bob.blog: Rolling Stones... ugh. Gimme U2
Monday, February 6, 2006 at 12:52PM From bob.blog::
No SuperBowl show before and none after will ever match U2...
I realize they had the weight of history with/behind them... but they rose to the occasion and took us along with them.
When Bono walks down the stage praying "Oh Lord, open my lips that I might show forth Thy praise" I still get chills.
Absolutely amazing.
Indeed. And you can get the video here. It's been known to reduce a grown man to tears...almost.
Update: The Stones stole U2's ellipse - but, as someone's quipped, the Stones version is called the "e-lips". I know, really bad. Nice stage though.

You blog more about U2 than me! Amazing! And that 2002 half-time show was a truly a timely, uplifting, healing event. I couldn't bear to watch Mick Jagger strutting around (kinda gives me the creeps- haha). Sorry I don't comment much, but I do keep up with your blog.
