You too can see, hear, feel and experience the excitement

It's been my longtime dream to attend a U2 concert. I've tried to get tickets, but they sell out instantly. In music, these are some of the hardest tickets to get, and I've always been out of luck when the band has made stops in Dallas.

But I've done what I could to be as close as possible without going inside the arena. I own and have read both "U2 Show" and "U2 By U2." I have U2's "Live From Chicago" DVD and all this has done for me is make me crave that concert experience even more.

I've had several friends snag tickets and they've all described the experience as almost spiritual. Thousands of people, singing their hearts out, knowing each and every word -- it's the perfect concert in my mind.

I may get one step closer to knowing what a true U2 concert is like. "U2 3D," the first live-action movie shot in digital 3D, is scheduled to make it to Tinseltown USA on Feb. 15. The concert was filmed in South America during U2's "Vertigo" tour and is being presented by National Geographic and Best Buy. The 3D effects are said to be so good that some have even called it "historic."

I'm not sure if watching a concert in a movie theater will be satisfactory, but I'm willing to take the chance.
