I was at the Dublin show on Saturday, there were a few late walkouts alright with hands clamped over their ears. Decibel meter on my mate's phone gave up the ghost at 90. Soon and You Made Me Realise were jaw-dropping.

I was at a U2 show in Dublin with my friends, got back to Belfast in the early hours of the Sunday morning to find my mum still up watching the live news. Ma told me 'they're saying Pavarotti was chasing her on a scooter - how did a big fella like him manage to stay on one of those wee things...?'
