Arthur's Story

He is an engineer from Melbourne who had worked in LA for five years in the Nineties. This was his sixth U2 concert. He is the same age as Bono. He is also a fan of ACDC and Bon Jovi. During a particular song I noticed that he was swaying but not in time to the music. He was about to faint! We were on the pitch squashed among of thousands of bopping fans. No sign of a medic. I did not know whether to go in front of or behind him. In the end I grabbed him by the arm as did a guy on his other side. It turns out he is a diabetic so we got him some sports drink and that raised his sugar levels. I stayed with him after the concert while he exited the stadium and walked with him to the train station.
Oh, the song that was playing while he almost fainted: Vertigo!!
