A magical moment

“Angel of Dublin.”

U2 finished their run of hometown shows in style last night. It was an evening full of highlights and this one might top the lot.

At 4:20 in the video below Bono gets a sold out 3 Arena to sing Angel of Harlem for Christy Dignam, who was in attendance.

It’s a spine tingling moment and a beautiful dedication to the Aslan frontman who has spent the last couple of years struggling with ill health.

Dignam had an evening full of amazing moments. Here he is rubbing shoulders with former Oasis’ member Noel Gallagher.

Look who Christy met tonight at U2 gig. Bono gave a shout out to Christy . He said he was the voice of Dublin. The Angel of Dublin . Respect .
