U2 - Beautiful Day - 360 Tour (HD) - Cardiff Millennium Stadium - 22/8/2009

The great U2, love the Beatles Blackbird at the end.
Great atmosphere at this gig, U2 at their mature best.

One can see that Bono is getting older, and a bit heavier, but the voice is picking up a certain resonance and depth. Something simliliar happened with Sinatra, the voice became "growlier", but at some point, he had throat cancer, probably from years of smoking, and had to have an operation.
He thougth he might lose his voice altogether, but that, along with his personal suffering, proved to make him a stronger and deeper performer.

Wish I had taken the time to see him now at the Circle star theatre, before it was pulled down and a great performer had passed.
