"We joked that it was just a bit smaller than the one he'd play at Spartan Stadium," Scofes said. Kindness pays off A dose of kindness paid off in a big way for Linda Fausak this past weekend. The Lansing resident was preparing to close for the night Saturday at Lenny's Sub Shop in downtown Lansing when a woman came by wanting a sandwich.

Instead of turning her away, Fausak, 54, made her a sandwich and struck up a conversation. She learned that the woman works for U2's concert crew and was tired from working in the sun all day. She had already been to 90 cities, with 10 more to go. "She called me (Sunday) and she's such a wonderful lady that I've got tickets now to U2, just for waiting on the customers and treating them like we should here at Lenny's," she said while preparing sandwiches Sunday afternoon. Program benefits Michigan State Universi- -ty African Studies Center director James Pritchett said buzz surrounding the U2 concert was a tool to bolster interest in holding the Midwest Summit on African Development at the Kellogg Center over the weekend, but once participants arrived it was all business.

U2 lead singer Bono is an outspoken activist for African development efforts and anti-poverty programs. He co-founded ONE, a nonprofit Review Continued From 1 A disbelief the day was finally here. Crying fans, beach ball-; bouncing fans, fans who had road-tripped from Canada, fans who had jetted in from I Europe, fans of every age all united to experience the highest grossing tour of all time. It all happened one year after the originally scheduled concert date. Three decades in, the men of U2 embraced the stage with the self-assurance of a cast of characters at the pinnacle of their sport They stood energized and alive.

They carried grace and style. Drummer Larry Mullen, guitarist The Edge and bass player Adam Clayton instantly created a wall of sound that nothing could conquer, working as one unified, i mesmerizing whole. The I Edge's guitars were near-; hypnotic soaring, emoting, melodic Carefully placed solos sang and seared through the cool air. Bono, of course, the original rock 'n' roll frontman. He beckoned the crowd to join in and unite with U2's swoons and sentiments.

At its finest moments and there were countless the concert brought back that thrilling, heartfelt post-punk of U2's early days, whether it was the sweeping, inspiring "Elevation," the yearning "I Still Havent Found What I'm Looking For," the swirling, spiritual "One," or the hair-raising "Vertigo." During the set Bono devoted "Beautiful Day" to Arizona congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, victim of a shooting in January, and her husband, astronaut Mark Kelly. He sent out "Walk On" to Burmese opposition politician Aung San Suu Kyi, and later in the song. Amnesty International volunteers circled the stage holding candles with the Amnesty symbol. Though counter-intuitive, the massive ness of U2's 360-degree stage successfully created an aura of intimacy, even in a giant football stadium. At times, it felt as if it was just the band and its musk.

After Sunday's show, there is little uncertainty that U2 is truly able to bring people from every corner of the glove together for a moment of in the words of Bono "love and peace, peace and love." ROD SANFORDLANSING STATE JOURNAL U2's Bono sings and plays guitar and Adam Clayton plays bass Sunday as the band rocks MSU Spartan Stadium during its 360 tour. Continued From 1A 'back injury forced the band to cancel tour dates, inspired Scofes to tell bis 'Dooley's concert story dur-ring a meeting on Capitol Hill last week. I Moments after, he was whisked into a room with Bono, who was there to meet members of Congress and discuss the efforts of ONE, which he co-founded, its goal to decrease the number of children born with HIV. "What's most impressive tome andldolovehismu- sic is his aid work," Scofes said. "He spoke so eloquently (to Congress) about bow he never dreamed the band would never be as big as it is, and that he feels a responsibility to give back." After the meeting, Bono took Scofes aside and told him that even now after three decades of hits ranging from "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" to "Vertigo" and an illustrious career in activism and advocacy for anti-poverty programs Dooley's stUl has sentimen-1 tal value for the singer.

1 Bono said that it's peo- pie like Steve Scofes' father George that he and the band owe gratitude to for taking a chance on four guys barely out of high school trying to cross the pond and play their music. The singer told Scofes that East Lansing is special to him because Dooley's was one of the first Irish bars in America to book him, guitarist The Edge, drummer Larry Mullen Jr. and Adam Clayton. "It was so humble and nice of him to say that," Scofes said. But it was what the U2 front man said next that made the gratitude ring Somewhere in Bono's Dublin home, he still has the Dooley's shirt he got at that East Lansing gig 30 years ago.

"He even described the shirt, that it was green and II mm thing is the mix of participants," Pritchett said. "This is not just a gathering of government officials or a gathering of diplomats, but ifs a gathering of all the different types of entities that work on African devebpment This is an opportunity for us to have both private and public conversations about the ways we should be partnering with one another in order to advance Africa's development." MSLTs African Studies Center is universally recognized for its research and partnerships in the field, and the campus chapter of ONE is among the largest andmost active in the nation. ROBERT KILLI PSLANSING STATE JOURNAL Carol Major is and Lisa Cummerow is "2" as they wait in a long line on Sunday to get food and drink before the U2 concert organization that co-hosted the summit with MSU and several other partners. Pritchett said the goal of the summit was to find and fosternewways universities, foundations, governmentand non-governmental organizations can work together. "The most important inside.

Some even pulled out camping chairs and plopped down on the grass, content to listen to the concert from afar in the crisp evening air. Inside, thousands of cell phones were at the end of nearly every outstretched arm, snapping photos and shooting video to send to envious friends. "It's very electrifying, said Lansing resident Maria Irish as the opening act played and people flowed into the stadium. "The stage and everything is just awesome." Melissa Domsic contributed to this report. Tailgaters party By early afternoon, campus parking lots bulged with tailgaters like a football Saturday on steroids.
