I think most of the Elevation concerts clocked in around 2 hours. I'm just getting kind of nervous about that comment that this tour would be shorter...Ummm, an hour and a half? I love you boys, but if I had spent $200 for a ticket, I'd be rip****! Geez, they played for about an hour in Brooklyn and that was after toodling around on a flatbed truck all day. They should be able to muster a solid two hours/20 songs. I realize they're putting more of a show up than McCartney/REM (the only two I've seen sort of recently, so I'm using them as examples) but I don't think for the same price or more they should be putting up a setlist THAT much shorter. I say they play for two hours and just crank through as many songs as possible. No banter, so excessive singing along w/ the crowd (seriously 3 minutes of the audince singing "Angel, angel of Harlem"...no. Love it, loved to hear it. Thanks, next! Moving right along! We've still got lots of ground to cover!!!)
Tiff, I think your sacrifice is very noble...certainly worth the loss of a lung to bond w/ Bono, I say!!!
And definitely yes on The Joshua Tree. I consider Streets, With or Without You, ISHFWILF, Bullet, and Running to Stand Still way up on my priority list (along w/ 20 or so others!!!)

But when did New Hampshire become--Such a backward wasteland of seatbelt hating crazies?...I mean, only 40 people actually live there. The others are just visitors who come for the tax-free liquor and three inches of novelty coastline. John Hodgeman on The Daily Show (1-30-07)
What I don't really get is: 
I have big GA plans for October 7th! I've yet to have Friday classes in my three years at school and have no intention of having one next fall either, so that would be perfect! I'd rather not have to blow off a whole day of classes to get a decent spot in the GA line...though I've done it before, I would do it again, if I had to!
That's definitely an excuse to splurge! I might try to buy a ticket anyway (even though I won't be here) and see if by some miracle I can make it back, because I know I won't have any trouble selling the ticket to another dedicated U2 fan if necessary. I wish I could meet you all! (I'd be going by myself too).
