My U2 Experience in #London last night - #U2ieTour - #O2Arena

I was at the O2 Arena in London's East End last night.

U2 was on the agenda.

The best I have ever experienced.

I say ‘experienced’ because it is always more than music.

YET the music was massive - powerful - real - genuine

and the visuals and creativity in communication was wondrous.

As with any experience 

we can’t ‘word' it - it has to be seen and heard and felt.

Experienced!

It was appreciated much - 

also

because I was treated with the ticket being bought for me by

Emmo my Greenbelt friend - a great music man of wisdom and taste.

We were in the RED Zone with Big John another great friend a U2 fan/worker/on-liner/moderator

and …………. we experienced it together.

I am into participation

NOT just having an audience but participants

TAKERS and essentially MAKERS not just takers.

People who know me and have experienced my 

workshops/training courses and Rolling Magazine programmes

they know I am myself into being a taker and maker.

RIGHT from the start of the gig - 'the gathered' were singing - powerfully and

purely in response to the first single voice of Bono 

opening the event without the band.

During the 2.5 hour show

a had a range of emotions.

Little doors and windows were opening in my chest

to allow the experiences to get through.

I was thinking - ‘I need this’

"Let it in let it in”

It was emotional / spiritual / feeding and stretching.

I was dosed in wonder

I was drowned in inner disturbance.

I was in tears with a number of songs which butted up together

to double the emotion

moving the spirit of Pip Wilson.

I wanted it on a stick.

I wanted a USB I could plug into

 and capture it all forever in my soul.

My mind raced to connect deeper to the experience 

and tear ducts worked overtime as I blinked hard furiously to not miss a visual.

I have the ‘Periscope' App on my iPhone.

I used it for the first time.

The images on my phone went global.

17 minutes in one powerful sequence

and love came flowing in as I kept my tearful eyes on the little screen.

It is tough to say it was their best gig yet.

But it was - for me.

Massive in colour and images.

Music deep and powerful.

Involvement massive.

Social JUSTICE issues and concern blasting out……..

I have followed U2 for as many years as they have existed.

In a a Radio broadcast studio as they were still young.

At the Greenbelt in 1981 I think?

In Italy Holland Norway + + +

all over the UK and more.

Every album - every radio broadcast - every word expressed.

I appreciate Emmo and BJ being my ‘carers’ for the #U2ie EXPERIENCE

with Martin forever warm and a friend as best one could be …… always an experience.

WORDS cannot express …………….

Comments: There's no Meerkat segment tonight, even though Amra -- a fan from Sarajevo now living in Dublin -- is brought on stage during "Elevation" to do the smartphone camerawork. Her video feed is shown only inside the arena.

Bono dedicates "Beautiful Day" to Paul McGuinness, who's at the show. Noel Gallagher is also in attendance, his third consecutive show.

Patti Smith walks on stage as Bono sings a snippet of Van Morrison's "Gloria" at the end of "Bad." Bono then tells the audience that she's going to "help take us home," and the band launches into a rocking version of "People Have The Power."

Some great music and music makers here - via Gilles Peterson my music GURU

Some great music

and music makers here

LV Words & Music by Gilles Peterson Worldwide on Mixcloud

Ahead of their live show at St Pancras Old Church, here's a chat I had with the two boys from LV, Will and Simon, discussing their beginnings, their D&B period, linking up with Keysound and Hyperdub, working with Joshua Idehen, Omkalumkoolkat, and the new project featuring Armenian pianist, Tigran Hamasyan.

Ancient Mechanisms’ is the fourth album by globetrotting London production duo LV. It traces a train of thought that was sparked by a live session with Tigran Hamasyan back in 2012: two and a half years down the line and a trip to Belgium later, the finished record is as much about the workings of musical artefacts as it is about putting the virtuoso pianist into new contexts.

Long periods of well-being can be dangerous.

Long periods of #well-being and comfort
are in general dangerous to all.
After such prolonged periods,
#weak #souls become incapable
of weathering any kind of trial.

#Growth does not reside
in a place called
#comfortable

Compassion is an unstable emotion

#Compassion is an unstable #emotion.

It needs to be translated into #action, or it withers. 

The question is what to do with the feelings that have been aroused, 

the knowledge that has been communicated. 

People don't become inured to what they are shown...

.... because of the quantity of images dumped on them. 

It is passivity that dulls feeling.

YOUareBEAUTIFUL

We are both on the road less travelled

I have been with humans

some not knowing how to become

I don't either

working on it though

but believe  

'the means’ 

is the end

travelling 

I feel ditto YOU

because you are on the road less travelled

yours

not mine

and I lurve holding hands with you on yours

or touching finger tips

through these keys

so vital

such a struggle for so many

one I am thinking of

living a complete lie

but has told only me the truth

when I last/first met him

first/last saw him in January

and then again yesterday

because of his openness then

he tells me a few words

and I know where he is at

tall

handsome

black

professional

articulate

great to be with

toothache

like hell

all his adult life

I don't think I have toothache

no preoccupation's

feel good in a restless way

want to be there

my big struggle is trying to understand 

a few in a group who I am training in group work - 

and they won't let me in

I am trying to understand their toothache

so I can love them in that place

hmmmm 

because I love that you clicked me

will catch up with yours tonight 

you are beautiful

no matter what

you are beautiful

keep in touch

fingertips

We can see behaviour but can't see JOURNEY - we need to get close to discover the real person.

Purple shoes day.

Family visit during school half term.

Expressionless face ...........

Cool Beer

Expressionless face

hip hop in the radio

me clicking you

downloading pix

from the week

about 50 a day

friday 95

fantastic seconds

of faces

always humans

never scenes

drink in the memory

interactions

transactions

I am on drugs

transaction drugs

I yearn to be with these human

drink in their lives

sip from their cup

of experience

ask questions

always questions

slow with opinions

full on feelings

loveitloveitloveit

cannot tell you

lots of

confidential

thinking about things shared

like

"My father always made me know I was fat.

 I could never make him love me.

 I decided nobody would love me unless I was perfect.

 I felt ugly, as if I was falling down a dark hole."

jane Fonda

Guardian

and I believe in

beautiful imperfection

of self

of others

governments too

they are humans

even journalists

so I pour my life

out

never oppressive

I trust

liberating

I trust

always learning

always residing

in

a place called

uncomfortable

so grow

and thinking of you and your beauty

you and your beauty

do you feel like a bud?

of a flower?

or are you fully open

at

potential?

thinking

we need to lean towards the light

the sun

the son

the source of beauty

and

become …………………..
