Rain, I don't mind

We went to the queue immediately after the first show to check out the situation. it turned out to be 10 ppl before me so I got number 11. we decided to leave the queue to get some proper sleep in the hotel. we just wouldn't survive another night camping out. we were more or less starving as we hadn't eaten anything for quite a while so on the way back we had to find something to eat. every place was full of ppl so there was only one thing to do, go to sleep hungry. it was fantastic to get into a proper bed. slept from 01-5.30 and got back out on the street to meet Åsa. returned to queue at 6.15 and aparently missed the roll call. we were crossed out from the list.damn! luckily it was simona who was in charge of the list and she put us back on the list. beautiful. got my airbed ready and got some rest. went to Alepa to get food. chocolate, bread and Coke, the most healthy breakfast. just like yesterday we were moved to the section closer to the arena about 3pm. had a really nice time with ppl of all nationalities. the queue was a bit nervous as the sound check end on the arena. pontus and jess were first in leading the way. we were actually running. got in on Adam's side and almost in front of Bono. luckily I'm not right in front of him as the mic gets in the way. Razorlight did a fairly ok show tonite but there's only one song that gets me going and I don't know the name of it. thank god we're having Snow patrol for the rest of the shows.

U2 put on the most spectacular show tonite. we were treated with new songs, could the title be "Every breaking wave" maybe? also because of the rain Bono was singing the full version of Rain instead of Amazing grace. it fit perfectly into Streets but would have appreciated Amazing more. there was a little bit too much focus on the rain in the setlist. we had "Singing in the rain" as well at the end of the show as a sing along. petite russian girl was invited to the stage and that hasn't happened so far this tour as far as I know. Wowy was a bit different and I was really hoping for an end verse but no. the audience in Helsinki really showed its love for U2 and it paid off. the rain started again just after wowy and Bono was soaking wet as he started off Moment. beautiful. this is by far the best show on this tour and may even be the all time high.

all the members of the band promised the audience to come back to Finland soon again. we'll be there for sure.
