Re: “Mexican” or other wave.
I was up in the seats, and one of the coolest things ever was watching the pitch crowd’s heads swivel — complete color change on the floor — to watch the wave making its way around the stadium for about 270 degrees, then letting it sweep across their bodies to pick up at the opposite stand again. Oh, and seeing U2. That was pretty cool.

Hey Sue–

It is the very same wave. I don’t know how this keeps happening to Mexico. Mexican Hat Dance. Mexican Standoff. Mexican Divorce. And now a Mexican Wave? It looked pretty cool.

Glad the Dublin experience reached your expectations. I was puzzled why they didn’t do I Will Follow in the US - such a great live song - good to hear it’s back, at least for now.

I do have a question, AG - you mentioned the crowd doing the wave. I’ve seen some newspaper reviews refer to a “Mexican” wave. Do you know why it is called that? Is it a different sort of wave than seen here in the States?

Have a great time!
