watching the re-broadcast. with sound this time woohoo!!

AWESOME SHOW,THEY STILL THE BEST BAND AROUND.

NOBODY CAN FUCK WITH THEIR LIVE SHOWS,THEY ARE FUCKIN GOATS

At least I met Bono before the show.

 

WHERE ?

you missed 'mysterious ways' after magnificent

oops! :embarassed:

 

she did! I'll edit it :wink:

Thanks, Viri! :kiss:

 

I went to the show but didn't have the best of tickets. Rose Bowl is too damn big. Anyhow, I think this is going to be released as a DVD, so I will probably get a better viewing of the show at that time. I kind of wished I would have stayed home and watched the web cast, though. At least I met Bono before the show.

Well, you had the best of both worlds... you were there, then you could come home and watch the re-broadcast! And how awesome that you got to meet Bono! How did that happen?

 

watching the re-broadcast. with sound this time woohoo!!

Yay! Glad you actually got to listen to it! :nice:

2010 North America dates announced! :D

http://www.atu2.com/news/u2-announces-2010-north-american-concert-dates.html

U2 has announced an initial set of North American concert dates in 2010, bringing the U2 360 tour back for visits to several cities that were passed over on the current leg of the tour. For now, here are the dates, cities, and venues that have been announced:

 

6 June, 2010 Anaheim CA US Angel Stadium

12 June, 2010 Denver CO US Invesco Field

16 June, 2010 Oakland CA US Oakland Coliseum

20 June, 2010 Seattle WA US Qwest Field

23 June, 2010 Edmonton CA Commonwealth Stadium

30 June, 2010 East Lansing MI Spartan Stadium

3 July, 2010 Toronto ON CA Rogers Centre

6 July, 2010 Chicago IL US Soldier Field

9 July, 2010 Miami FL US Land Shark Stadium

12 July, 2010 Philadelphia PA Lincoln Financial Field

16 July, 2010 Montreal QC Venue TBA

19 July, 2010 New York NY New Meadowlands Stadium

 

We do expect additional concerts to be announced, particularly where there are lengthy periods of time between dates listed above. (Between June 6 and 12, for example, another show at Angel Stadium seems likely.) However, a Live Nation news release specifically says that Chicago and Toronto will be "one night only."

 

Look for U2.com presales to begin this coming week. The public on-sale date for Oakland, Edmonton, and Toronto is November 2, and for Denver it's November 6.

:D :D :D :D

^ I met him at his hotel on his way to the venue. As I have said in other threads, I am a huge in person music memorabilia. Bono is good about it. Search YouTube and you will see many people with the same success.

might try to go to montreal

might try to go to montreal

Just watched u2 thingy on youtube, it was really good :D

The show last night was AWESOME! I loved it. U2 performed incredibly The Black Eyed Peas were good too. It was so cool when Slash came out and performed with them. It was so unexpected. Leaving the venue was horrible but I guess that's expected in a 95,000+ crowd.

I went to the show but didn't have the best of tickets. Rose Bowl is too damn big. Anyhow, I think this is going to be released as a DVD, so I will probably get a better viewing of the show at that time. I kind of wished I would have stayed home and watched the web cast, though.

You met Bono :stunned: You are taking it so lightly. That alone worth the trip to the venue. You are so lucky. Besides, You can always watch the DVD at home later, there is nothing like see them live. ;)

^^

 

the man lives in LA, Bono is just another bloke walking down the street.

It's true. Someone is always rolling through here.

I will say that the show was good but, as I feared, the stadium environment was too much. I was amazed at how hot a ticket it was for a venue that holds 95,000. I usually scalp tickets, and there were none to be had. I gave some guy $40 bucks just so I could get in.

 

I don't regret going though. I had to see the stage for myself, and it is amazing. Plus, I got to listen to some great tunes even if I couldn't see the people who were playing them :D Ticketmaster released some seats for $275, and I would have spent that if I thought it would have been an amazing experience, but somehow I think I would still not get a fantastic view. I just hate the Rose Bowl. I am so happy they are playing Angels Stadium the next time around.

 

Question: Why is Ultraviolet such a bad ass song? I freaking love that song, and it seems to be a favorite of many U2 fans despite is relative obscurity. I loved Bono's lit jacket and the glowing circle mic. So cool. As for the new album, I got what I expected: Breathe and No Line On The Horizon I thought were the best songs. I even liked Get On Your Boots.

 

I just love this band. So good live.

I find No Line on the Horizon is just exceptional live. So good. And yeah, they even made me like Vertigo/Elevation/Get On Your Boots.

^I feel the exact same way. I thought NLOTH was just ok on the album... LOVED it live. Vertigo and Get On Your Boots are far from my favorite songs, but are reaallllly good live. I do like Elevation, though, live or not. :P

 

@bjaiken- I've noticed that about Ultraviolet, too. It's just a, to use your words, bad ass song. If you've heard it, it's hard not to like it.

reviving ultraviolet, and sticking it in front of with or without you was a stroke of pure genius.

I agree 100%

Speaking of Ultraviolet, if anyone is looking for an amazing picture (perhaps for computer wallpaper), here it is:
