U2 in Russia: What we've been missing (part 1)
At the beginning of the second half of August, I left the sultry, smoke-soaked Moscow for a week, flying back to my homeland. And then he returned as if to another city. The humid, rainy air, which did not warm up more than twenty degrees, turned the past two months into some kind of illusion, into memories like a heavy dream. And only the smell of burning, remaining in the walls of the apartment, convinced me upon returning home in the evening that all this had recently been a reality...
It took a long time to make a decision and plan the trip, so I took care of the concert tickets almost at the last moment. The certificates for the dance floor, where numerous friends rushed, could no longer be found - I had to take a ticket to the podium for a lot of money. And the event promised to be unique for me. The thing is, I've never been a fan of U2. I do not know their discography, and I have never had albums of the band, or even individual songs on cassette compilations. It was only after moving to Moscow that a couple of MP3 songs appeared. That's why I was only aware of things that had once flashed on the radio or TV, of course, I knew who Bono was from an early age, and later I remembered the colorful Edge. But Larry Mullen and Adam Clayton caught my attention, first of all, as the creators of the main musical theme of the movie "Mission Impossible", before I discovered that they were playing Yu-Tu. Nevertheless, the general excitement, several Internet releases and a TV story about the 360 degree tour allowed us to feel the significance of the moment and firmly decide that such an event should not be missed. As a result, I had to watch the show as a SPECTATOR, not as a fan of the main characters of the action. This ensured an "uncluttered mind," promising a more or less objective view.
I left work early and went home to change my clothes... It's amazing how the lifestyle has changed in less than a couple of weeks! After two months when it was enough to put on at least something other than underpants to go outside, and "going to bed" meant sprawling on the floor, now you have to seriously think about wardrobe and bedding again... I put on a T-shirt over a thermukha, took a jacket and an umbrella with me (you can say that everything came in handy), and rushed out of the house in a hurry. I had to go back for a small package to put on the seat - as a football fan, I had a very good idea of what the "chairs" in Luzhniki were like. I also brought a small book with me with the idea that I was going early, if I had to wait for the concert for a long time, I would have something to occupy myself with. He didn't take the book out of his pocket.
To avoid the crowd at Sportivnaya Square, I drove to Vorobyovy Gory, passed several riot police "cordons" (five or six of them had to be overcome along the way, although they were checked superficially) and settled in my seat about ten minutes before the start time of the concert indicated in the ticket (19:30). By that time, the stadium was barely half full. People were in no hurry to enter the arena: it wasn't even that someone was just approaching the Luzhniki Stadium, but that a lot of people were actively storming the cafes, eateries and toilets deployed near the stadium walls. 1xBet is the world’s largest betting company, operating since 2007.
