The Coolest thing happened to me at the U2 Show
Posted on June 20, 2011 with 0 commentsLast weekend I went to see U2 at the Anaheim Stadium. This is now the 3rd time that I have seen them live. I was not planning on seeing this show; I really don’t have the money for these kinds of shows. But a mutual acquaintance of a friend offered to sell me tickets at a price to good to ignore.
If you ask me how the show was I will just say that it’s a moot question. U2 does not know how to put on a bad or even lackluster show. It’s not in their vocabulary. I think what most impressed me though was how amidst the entire arena spectacle, the band was still able to come off as personable and reachable. It’s like they are rock stars but they aren’t rock stars (does that make sense?)
Anyhow, In the middle of the concert a very cool thing happens to me…..I am just enjoying the music. Standing with the rest of the audience swaying to the music when I notice a woman trying to catch my eye…..I turn to her and she asks me, “Don’t you play at that Crepe place”?
She is referring to “La Creperie” a restaurant that I play at a lot.
“Yes”, I respond.
She says to me, “I have one of your CDs….You’re awesome”!
I smile and say thank you. We exchange pleasantries and she goes back to her seat.
So many times, someone see’s me playing, they buy a CD, and I might never hear from them again…..I always hope they really enjoyed it.
So I think to myself: How cool is that?
She’s here to see one of the most famous Rock bands of all time. Yet she recognizes me and takes the moment to recognize me for my music.
Like I said: How cool is that?
