On the Beat

On the Beat: David Menconi on music

News & Observer music critic David Menconi's random (and we do mean random) musings about all things related to music and culture of the "popular" variety.

U2 traffic: also huge

Bookmark and Share

U2's Saturday night concert wasn't just an epic show, it also involved one of the most epic traffic jams in local history. I can tell you that it was incredibly chaotic and poorly organized, among the worst pre-concert set-ups I've ever experienced. After sitting in traffic for an hour, I was finally waved into a parking lot that was already full; I essentially had to improvise a parking place of my own and hope I didn't get towed (I didn't, thankfully).

But I was lucky compared to some folks, who didn't even make it into the show. See some of the horror stories here.
