"The Claw" is so big! Look how small the band is

I grew up a Chicago Bears fan. I know…I’m from Ohio. Why? Well, my dad is from St. Joesph Michigan, directly across the lake from Chicago, and he grew up a Bears fan. I guess I just inherited the tradition. So being a Bears fan, I always thought Soldier Field was the coolest place in the world. I’ve always hoped to one day watch a game there.

Well, I didn’t see the football team, but I did make it to the stadium. And U2 did quite a job of making the night memorable. And by memorable, I mean phenomenal. I don’t want to try and review the concert here. To capture the magnitude you really just have to see it, but it was truly the most incredible music event I’ve ever seen.

I want to give a shout of gratitude to Mark at The ONE Campaign for inviting us to the concert. What made it even more fun was the surprise of getting to watch it with our friends in Skillet, Mercy Me, and David Crowder, Band who were also in town for the show.

Anyway, a picture’s worth a thousand words, so I’ll be quiet and show some of those…

Oh, and they did play “Beautiful Day.” I’m very proud of our band’s rendition, but I’ve got to say, nothing beats the original. It was incredible.
