While the up and coming Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats play Forest Hills Stadium on a beautiful Belmont Stakes Triple Crown Saturday, the legendary U2 make their first of several area appearances tonight at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. I last saw U2 perform at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame show at Madison Square Garden where the sound where we sat was not so great as it was basically a multi act “made for television” event, but I have not seen a U2 concert proper since they played The Ritz on Saint Patrick’s Day in 1980 after the release of the album “October”. 

I am looking forward to finally catching up with the stadium concert goliaths in the comparatively cozy confines of the Nassau Coliseum.

Where the Streets Have No Name

Rock on!
