A beautiful day at Spartan Stadium

More than 65,000 fans packed into Spartan Stadium Sunday night to rock out with legendary band U2. The concert in East Lansing, Mich.--originally scheduled to take place June 2010 but was postponed due to the band"s lead singer, Bono, having back surgery--was a stop on the U2 360° Tour, the highest grossing tour in history, according to Billboard.

A few sights and sounds from Sunday's concert at Spartan Stadium.

The stage, known as the claw, was made of a steel structure rising 150 feet. The massive video screen, made of interlocking LED panels, expanded and collapsed throughout the night.

Bono, also known for his global activism for human rights, told the
crowd he was inspired by a campus such as MSU, and commended the university"s work in Africa and around the globe. The advocacy group ONE--a grassroots organization founded by Bono that's aimed at ending poverty and disease--is supported by campus groups such as the one at MSU.
