From yesterday's post, you know I was excited about the Toronto U2 concert. U2 is not my favourite band but what I like is "a big show" and U2 are masters of "going big". Big sets. Lots of scaffolding. Live videos. Moving stages. Ramps and runways bringing the singer into the crowd. Any band that does that, wins me over.
Last night at Skydome the lid was open and looming over us was the CN Tower which displayed its own light show! Red and yellow illumination spun up the tower and swirled around the pods. It was a light show bonus!
On the south side through the Dome roof were the waterfront condominiums. From the stage, Bono looked to the condos and said "hey if you're listening to the show, flash your lights" - and a bunch of them did!
Musically, the songs, especially the really Christian songs, brought about an a auspicious idea. Sometimes I felt like I was part of a 50,000 voice choir, as we sang:
You broke the bonds
And you loosed the chains
Carried the cross
Of my shame
Oh my shame
You know I believe it
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
It was like voices of unity ascended thru the Dome roof into the Heavens with God looking down on this tiny earthly spectacle. I wonder what that would be like.
