U2 Tour Dates - Now Official! — Page 35

Ooooohhhh....fond memories of the Brooklyn Bridge. *off to look at my shoddy, unrecognizable pictures* I LOVED the round of applause for the skyline! Sadly, I fear I will never be that close again...*sigh*

I was browsing the merchandise photos on-line. Pricey, but I think I'll have to buy something. I'm thinking I can probably manage a Youth large. I hope so, cause I'd love to pocket that extra $15, or put it towards a program or some other little goodies!

How'd your friends like the seats behind the stage? The pix I've seen look pretty decent. Though most of them don't look like they're taken from 400 level. I honestly don't care! I'm sure they'll be great no matter what, and it's been good to read (somewhere) that you can see through the light curtains). I love that my seats get progressively better! I can't wait!

Setlist!!
NOOOOOOOOOOO!

It's OK. I didn't look. I saw, but I didn't look. Maybe a quick peek.

Damn you!

*plugs ears and hums*


*can still see however, damnit*

Well, at least you could see that mine was a setlist and steer clear.



Watch out Ellie...this thread may or may not contain potential spoilers, which will more than likely not factor into the shows that we see in October, considering the boys seem to be shaking up significantly....






So yeah...I think I like the idea of LAPOE opening. It's got quite the punch, and as much as I enjoy COBL, I kind of think I'd prefer LAP. More Best of is always good. I hope we catch a "Best Of" show and a "Rarities" show at MSG. No, I honestly don't think I'm asking too much! I think I'd rather have Bad than ISHFWILF though. Dunno. Oh, and I think 20-21 seems pretty standard issue for U2. I think it's short too, but I think the most they played last time around was 23 at ONE show.

You ladies are too much. Gone for one night and see what craziness I miss! I just got back from a Virginia Coalition concert, anyone familiar with them? They're not bad. I hadn't heard much of them before tonight, but it was free so I figured why not go.
Tiff, I sent you 90-00 today (because I'm so speedy), so now you'll have two copies! Give one away and spread the U2 love.
I'm liking the setlists more and more. And yes, 20-22 songs doesn't seem like that many.
I cannot wait until May 21st.

#1Elphie, did you really? Aww! (Gushy Aww.) Thanks! You're speedy! Seriously, do you want anything in return? I feel so guilty imposing on you, especially since you're not a wretch like Ellie is! Are you keeping your eyes peeled for October tickets? I'm sure I speak for Mabel when I say we'd love to meet you!

Mabel, don't worry about warning about spoilers. This is all part of a plan to phase Ellie out of this thread. How does the new Elevation sound? I'm not a fan of the original single, so I can't imagine it sounds very good live. (Bono's an awesome performer, but I can see those "Oooh! Ooh-ooh! Oooh! Ooh-ooh!" going real flat.)

20-22 sounds at, say, 4 a song, is only like an hour and 20 minutes. Add in some time for general banter and changes...that's maybe an hour and 30-40 minutes?

Hey, I forgot to ask, how was Kings of Leon?

SPOILER ALERT! MAJOR SUPERDUPER SPOILER ALERT!!









SPOILER!








YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!








MONDO SPOILER THAT COULD POTENTIALLY RUIN THE SHOW FOR YOU SO LOOK AWAY!



















YOUR LAST CHANCE TO LEAVE!!

















Is she gone yet?

Well, my spoiler spaces are getting progressively smaller.

The new Elevation just feels slower...definitley kind of plods along at the beginning. I'm all about new arrangements of songs. I LOOOOOVE the acoustic version of Desire. But w/ Elevation...it feels like it's such a B song anyway, it needs the rockiness of it to pass. Just a thought.

I think the concerts have been clocking in at just under 2 hours thus far.

Ellie, I don't think KOL are opening on the third leg. I've read that Oasis may open for them in NYC in October. Who knows though.

---

I read that too! That would be sweet. If only Bono and Liam can make like Brit and Madonna again!

I don't think KOL is opening for them either. And unfortunately the Scissor Sisters seems like a distant rumor.

---

When are you all seeing U2 again? I know the three of you (Tiff, Mabel, Ellie) are going to MSG in October. Mabel, you're seeing them in Boston, right? And Tiff, are you seeing Seattle? Or Vancouver? Or both? I need a recap.
Yeah, it must be such a surreal experience for KOL. What an awesome opportunity.

I'm gonna look up KOL later. Were they actually good, live? The response on Interference seems overwhelmingly negative.

I had to sell my Vancouver tickets (stupid me for having to go to London that day! ) so now I'm going:

4/25 - Seattle
10/8 and 10/10 in NYC

And hopefully 11/4 or 11/5 in Las Vegas! (I can still wish, can't I?)

---

I don't know...I'm thinking *if* Oasis did a few gigs opening, it'd be more of a favor for friends type of deal, since the rumor was for MSG only. I have no idea. I wonder when they'll announce it?
