April 16, 1985: Adam saves the day (and fans) at concert

Near-disaster as U2 plays the Centrum in Worcester, Massachusetts. During the show, Adam notices that a lighting rig has begun to slip from its location above the audience.

	♥ Aimee Archerwrote: Wow. I thought I was pretty hard core in to U2. I have been since I was 10 when I was given Joshua Tree as my first album for my first record player, I am now 28. I kind of lost a bit of interest when they started to get a little weird, somewhere after Pop. I still listen to their new stuff. Just doesn't grab me like the old stuff. Anyways, I am very happy to come across you site. Hope to hear from you sometime. I took your test and my song is The Fly - Its no secret. that you spend your days pondering the works of Nietzsche and Sartre in your efforts to unravel the meaning of life. The philosophical quest is evident in every phase and facet of your life. June 10
