My dad doesn't mind the Zoo and Pop stages. Probably mostly because I rave about how magnificant it all was. He tends to read my U2 books and then want to watch all my DVDs. This summer he was painting, watched all my official U2 DVDs, all my boots, and Live 8 haha.

U2 Community Of Fans Camp Out For Concert

KITV, December 08, 2006

 

 

Fans started lining up on Thursday afternoon for Saturday night's U2 concert at Aloha Stadium.

 

The group bought general admission tickets for the field at Aloha Stadium and get no chance of reserving a seat.

 

The group in line by 9 a.m. spanned more than 100 people long. KITV spoke with the man wearing wristband No. 118.

 

"There's some guys next to us from Colombia. We're the first people from the islands that are in line," said Sinclair Anderson, of Waimea.

 

"We got in yesterday. We started traveling from South America on Tuesday," said Jaime Rodriguez, of Bogota, Colombia.

 

The fans were from all over the world. One couple is in line in Hawaii on their honeymoon from Vancouver, Canada. Most of them have seen each other before, before other U2 concerts in similar lines.

 

They issue their own wristbands, with their names and numbers recorded in a book by someone -- in this case, by No. 3.

 

They are serious U2 fans.

 

KITV asked one fan how many times she has seen U2 in concert.

 

"Since 'Joshua Tree,' I'd say over 30 times, maybe even 40, 50,"said Cindy Carde, of New York.

 

The prize goes to fan Donna McClain from Port Hueme, Calif.

 

"This will be 102," she said.

 

McClain even has pictures of herself with U2 frontman Bono.

 

"I met him the first time in 1987, and this one about four years ago," she said flashing her photos.

 

You may be asking yourself: Do these people have a real life? KITV asked wristband No. 2.

 

"I've heard of real life, but I'm not sure I've ever been there," Tanya Ensom, of London, said laughing. "No, I work, and obviously you have to save up money to do things like this, but that's not important."

A nice obsession :rolleyes: ...but I think this is due to them being still around doing gigs (even if tomorrow's gonna be the last one :bigcry: :bigcry:) while Coldplay have been out of the scene since July

 

And I've just discovered that Coldplay's supposed-to-become-a-DVD director is Hamish Hamilton..I didn't know it or simply I didn't link the name...I mut say he did a far better job with Coldplay...I don't like his direction in the Chicago DVD and part of the Milan one too...I like his Slane DVD direction 10.000 times more

 

 

@Lore: no Honolulu but you'll get to see Coldplay :dance: :dance: :nice:

yeah,that man directed U2 dvds too! he is good

shame,nothing can beat Coldplay in my mind,i will be obsessed forever

RANDOM: live 8's one is perfect

 

Well there you go. . . . I must get out more! so obsessed by U2 these days!

 

i love U2! i am obsessed too,my dad was listening to one yesterday when i came home

i was staying in front of the door and singing one while i was opening it! my dad knew i came cos i am the only one who knows the lyrics in family

 

That's what U2.com was reporting...I know someone saying there were less people' date=' but this was almost 12 hours ago, so I think now 600 can be close to the real number[/quote']

i read that too

CD2, Track 3 . . I can't believe I was there!! you'll probably hear me singing!!!!

hell yes ,weird behaviour

I was one of those crazy people in line! We got there about 6:30 p.m. - were number 490 & 491. We ended up right beside Adam's B-stage in the front row - my daughter actually touched Bono as he was getting up on stage. We got some great photos and videos. I'll try and upload some for you to see. We got to hear the sound check the night before - they played for about an hour, did WITS quite a few times, as well as Rocking in the Free World with Pearl Jam. Fantastic show!!

Here's some pictures we took at the concert - 1st one is Bono just coming out to climb up on stage just before my daughter touched his shoulder.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also - if any of you Pearl Jam fans out there liked the song they did "Hawaii 78" - I ripped it off the radio station web site (actually from their Dec 2 show, not the U2 one) I love this song - here it is:
