TAMPA - The boys from Dublin who became the world's greatest rock band brought their massive show to Raymond James Stadium Friday night. The highly anticipated U2 '360° Tour' filled the stadium with an estimated 70,000 fans.

The band opened with "Breathe," off their new album "No Line on the Horizon."

People started showing up early Friday morning for the 7 p.m. concert and hundreds were in line by noon.

For $30, fans who bought general admission tickets could get in line as early as 7 a.m. for a chance to be just feet away from Bono and the band.

It took the band's crew three days to assemble the elaborate 360-degree stage.

The concert was the only performance in the state. Muse was the opening act.
