U2 Live from the (RED)ZONE

Last Thursday, the (RED) US team headed out to see U2 perform live in front of a record-setting crowd of more than 84,000 people at Giants Stadium in New Jersey. We were there to celebrate what you—all of you—have done with this little (RED) idea that Bono had. Since (RED) launched in 2006, more than $135 Million generated to date, more than 4 million lives in Africa changed. Because of you. We were also there to honor what our colleagues at ONE have done to help free people in the developing world from poverty and disease. But mostly, we were there to see and hear and feel the show of our lives.

All I can say is if you have been to this show, you understand. And if you haven’t, do whatever you have to do to get tickets. It was joyful. It was loud. And we had the best view in the house, up against the barricade, next to the stage in what U2 is calling the (RED)ZONES. U2 is contributing all of their profits from the (RED)ZONE tickets to The Global Fund to help eliminate AIDS in Africa. It was a show we will never forget. But then, everything sounds sweeter when you are standing up to be part of a good thing. I guess you all knew that because we saw you there...in the crowd...flying your (RED) colors.

If you've bought (RED), lives are being changed because of you. Thanks to you my ears are still ringing. It feels great.
