U2 Tour Dates - Now Official! — Page 66

Can't help you w/ a video, unfortuantely...But, I'm loving the song lately. It's on the Irving Plaza concert from the ATYCLB promo...just the most beautiful acoustic version! I wonder if it's on a DVD or something? Aren't there some that just have a bunch of misc videos? Hmmm.

---

Hmmm...scratch that theory. I just took a quick peek on Amazon and B&N. I guess I just made that up! I know REM has a DVD of music videos. Maybe I just figured it was kind of standard issue. It'd be a good idea wouldn't it?? Sorry.

---

Eh, what's new.

---

Hmmm...this is new. Are you planning solo, Tiff? I noticed the bitches thread hasn't been bumped, and the wave to the thread implied you were off. Care to share some ideas.

*pouts* I'm not a Take Forgranteder, dammit!...I just can't believe (beyond a hotel) you're planning 6 months in advance, you nut! And I say that w/ love.

*tsk tsk*

3rd pages, ladies? 'Tis sad. We need some fresh U2 news! Has anyone seen the scans of the current program? It looks quite...sparse. If I didn't want a cheap momento, I wouldn't even bother.



Also Mabel, I popped the money order into the mail today so you should be getting it late next week or early the week after!

And I must admit, I'm starting to warm more th '90-'00 now that I've listened to the songs a few times. I still hate the Pop stuff, but some of the relative oldies but goodies remind me of why I love this band so much.

---

There's definitely some good stuff from 1990-2000. Mysterious Ways, One, Miss Sarajevo, Stay, Staring at the Sun, The First Time, and Numb are the ones that really stick out for me.

Everything except for a few expensive singles available by 10:02. That's more like it, I suppose. Easier to get rid of the 11/4 singles I have. Still, there wasn't any presale, so there's absolutely no reason for me to have NOT gotten any GAs within my first 20 tries!

Bastards.






*hugs lonely thread* Well, here's an interesting topic of discussion. There's a big thread on Interference on "How does U2 justify these high ticket prices?"--

Anyway, just curious to hear your thoughts on that. Particularly with the Vegas sales, there were seats on the side of the stage in the upper levels that were going for US$183! How does that work?? All of us have paid a fair chunk of money for the tickets we do have (while I don't balk at $50 nosebleeds, I think anything over $120 for lower bowl is sort of ridiculous), but at the same time, supply and demand and those pesky eBay scalpers (shut up, Ellie) have proven that people are willing to pay much more than face value for tickets to the show! So is U2 justifed for selling for higher (esp. when other acts like Madonna and Elton are in the similar - but still lower - $50-$120 range)?

Hmmmm....

OMG!!!I just got back on-line (I was at a friends house this weekend, cat sitting w/ my mom...Saw Spamalot and Dame Edna, got a gladiola...good times!!!) Anyway, back to the OMG! I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY PLAYED BAD!!! It's almost a bad thing (no pun intended, honest) because now I've got that glimmer of a hope for Boston. I want to here it so bad (again, no pun!)!!!!

Tiff, thanks for the MO, I'll keep you posted. I've got your tix, so I'll send those out sometime soon (w/ some CDs...unfortunately in 4 days, all I got around to was Disc One of The Joshua Tree show from Boston Garden...tsk, tsk)

Off to scour setlists and check up on my e-mail!

Sounds like a fun weekend, mabel! Did you like Spamalot? I thought it was great.
I heard it was an amazing version of Bad, too. The "I'm wide awake..." part was supposedly amazing. I definitely want a bootleg of that show.
If I don't see them perform Bad, I'll be really disappointed now that I know that they've played it, so you're right about it being a potentially "bad" thing. I've got my hopes up.

*creams

I love Bad. I never bothered mentioning it because it wasn't on any earlier set lists and I didn't think they would introduce many new songs to rotate, but you've given me hope! Oh my god. I love the same "deperation, dislocation, separation...etc.etc." part too Mabel! Oh my god, that song...LIVE? *still trembling thinking about it* My hopes are totally up now.

8 more days! 8 more days!!

HMTMKMKM (I had to think harder to acronym-ize that than if I just typed out the whole damn thing) is a great song. Everlasting Love is okay, but I don't think it would be very good live.

---

If Bad were the only thing I heard them play live, I would still be 100% thrilled.

I hope some new songs are thrown in there for the third leg. You think they'll switch it up, right? I can't imagine they'd keep practically the same set-list for that long.

I'm sure, sure, sure that every NY show in the third leg will be different, but with what, 5 or 6 October shows, plus the two November, I wonder just how much variation there could be. WOuldn't it be awful if the DVDed the November concert(s) instead?

---

I think May and November II will be amazing shows. Especially November II. How are your seats?
