View of Eddie's Parade with our beloved Ram statueThere was heavy security, but we were able to get in with the flash of our alum 'Ram Pass.' NYPD was stationed near all the entrances to the campus though. Gotta protect Bono from crazy fans I guess...
U2 sounded awesome, but they didn't play any of their old hits. It was all music off their new album, and then 'Beautiful Day' and 'Vertigo.' But hey, you really can't complain. We even ran into some BoogieDowner readers (who are also Fordham alums) at the concert - Nice to see you Pat and Dawn!
Big ups to Fordham's President Fr. McShane for bringing this concert to fruition. This is priceless publicity for Fordham and the Bronx!
Here are some pics... I was really far away because I had Pearl with me, so they're not the best.

Teeny weeny Bono

Here's the little drunky getting carted off...If you look closely, you'll see she's still pumping her fist in the air. Now that's dedication.

Damn! I am so freakin' jealous!!!
This was "my band" back in the day! And you are so right - priceless publicity for the Bronx. My mom even called from Tennessee to tell me she saw them on one of the morning shows.
(She then excitedly went on to say that Mario Bartoli was a guest as well and he mentioned that he was opening a new restaurant in Parkchester!!! Wasn't that great??? Uh...no, mom - that would be PORT Chester (and it's been open for a while). The Bronx is on an upswing but not THAT much. But bless her heart!
But hey, we can dream...
