bjaiken Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 That's awesome. Arcade Fire is the openner, right? What a great night of music that will be. I saw 3 nights of the 360 tour, and I was more impressed each time. I'm sad to see it come to an end. I've seen hundreds of live bands over the years, but no band captures my imagination more than U2. It's truly mind blowing what they do on that stage. Edit: try to get there early. I had GA for 2 shows and never made it to the inner circle. That's probably my only regret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancyk58 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Tonight from 22:30 to 23:10 on Swedish SVT1: 30 years with U2 about U2's music during 30 years. So if you are able to see this Swedish TV channel - SVT 1 - then you have the chance to watch this. EDIT: Due to recent events in Norway, Norwegian TV NRK broadcast during the 50 minutes in question instead of U2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was really wishing I would've gotten them to open but, ey, Interpol did great, too! Gonna be an unbelievable few shows though. :nice:! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm staying at a camp ground that is right across from the venue, about a 2 minute walk to the entrance of Magnetic Hill and another 20 minute walk to the actual stage. I won't drink too much Friday night so I can be up early and in shape to jump in line around 8am. For U2 AND Arcade Fire it will be so worth it.

leahg Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 we are staying at Camper City. Lining up now is crazy. Gates don't open unitl 3 on Saturday! We aren't even headin' to Moncton until Friday. Gettin' stoked about the concert - curious to see if there are any surprises - being their last show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corkus Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Gonna be a lot of fun for you guys, especially as the last show of the tour (hard to believe it's coming to a close after so long!). U2 tends to save special things for their final shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 They closed out the show in Pittsburg with Bad. If they do that I will be 104509809% satisfied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkus Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Yeah, I heard that was a spontaneous decision too. That's one thing I love about U2. In spite of their vast production, they're still able to be as flexible as they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMagpie Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Being the last show I'm sure there will be some surprises. And with arcade fire there too it is very possible we'll see a collaboration of sorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a brilliant choice for a closer. This one from the final Popmart gig sounded amazing [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBLUNuGOzSI]U2 - "40" (from POPMart Johannesburg) - YouTube[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjaiken Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 ^ I was going to say 40 for the closer before I listened to the video. It's the best closer in their catalogue in my opinion. Rumor has it that 40 was sound checked in Baltimore, and I don't think we've heard it yet on this tour. It closed out many nights on the vertigo tour, and it was fantastic. The crowd chanting is the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Bauer Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 They closed out the show in Pittsburg with Bad. If they do that I will be 104509809% satisfied. Actually they closed out with 40. I don't know if you guys saw this but on U2.com after the gig in St. Louis they posted this:The Ocean, 11 O'Clock Tick Tock, I Will Follow, An Cat Dubh, Into The Heart, Another Time Another Place... what a set list the band opened with in St Louis. I stopped there and immediately called my dad who almost had a heart attack out of depression. I failed to read the next line: Actually, this was the one they opened with on another night in St Louis, thirty years ago when they first played here. He felt a lot better cuz we saw them in Philly and if we had missed those songs, we would of felt really cheated. Still disappointed we didn't get to see Out Of Control, Bad, or 40.

Hey what's you're favorite pre-War song? Mine is A Day Without Me Favourite pre War song would probably be Tomorrow. An underrated song from an underrated album in my opinion. I love the Celtic feel the Uillean pipes add to the song. Actually it was their most Celtic feeling album which is why I love it.
