Dan & Julie catch U2 on anniversary tour

Irish rock band U2 has been celebrating the 30th anniversary of its acclaimed album The Joshua Tree with a series of concerts where they play all 11 tracks from that LP in sequence, preceded and followed by other songs from their large catalog.

Dan and Julie caught them at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on June 29. "Our seats were high up but with a good view," reports Dan. "The band sounds as good as ever, with Bono in fine voice and The Edge's iconic guitar riffs propelling the classic songs."

"Hearing the album performed brought back memories of playing it on a turntable in our Brooklyn apartment some six months after we moved in. It may have been one of the last records we bought on vinyl before we bought a CD player!"
