But thanks Alex for your help! I will definitely keep that in mind!! I'll still probably leave around noon and be there by 1 since it's an hour away. I hope the band somehow shows up to greet us, lol.
I'm surprised it's easy to move around the GA so much!?!? I'm excited to try it. It's my only U2 show this year so I have to make it count! I'll probably do the E stage.

Still, it is true that shows aren't played as they were sold and it is legit to complain about it.
The only thing is that it won't change a single bit on the situation (unless complaing makes
you feel good...
Considering therefore the shows "as-they-are," I would say that there are a few things that make
the i+e tour very special and, perhaps, even revolutionary. The first being the unique stage set up
across the entire arena, including the huge screens that show there images on both sides.
In terms of impact, it is ZOO TV raised to a higher power - mathematically speaking as it were.
The second is the number of fresh new songs from a band that has been around some 35 years.
This is, again, quite unprecedented and personally I'm not afraid of hearing "Raised By Wolves" and "Cedarwood Road" night after night. Another thing that I would deem very positive and worth of praise
is the topicality of i+e. The concerts are extreemly fit for the posibilities of social media and new (mobile) technology (look at the amazing videos and audience recordings). The concerts are bringing people
together not only actual and emotional, but also people from inside and outside.
Indeed, you don't have to be "inside" to enjoy a concert (I experienced this actually last night! - and
therefore this is not off-topic
All I am saying is that there is more to a show than it's setlist - or, to use a familair phrase, you can't
judge a u2-show by looking at the setlist
(On a self-critical note however, for me a U2 concert is already fantastic when both I Will Follow and
Where The Streets Have No Name are in the same set!)
Originally posted by ahn1991:Double-sided screens is one thing. The fact that the screens themselves act as
a backdrop to a third stage that can be elevated is huge. Combine this with the
team that controls all the camera work behind the scenes and you get something
totally revolutionary [...]

Anyway, I probably wouldn't ditch the tickets in the end as N2 will probably end up having that one song that l have yet to experience live (ie, Bad)...and there's nothing worse that the feeling of regret when you don't attend a show.

If only the audio source was consistent (and good), the beggining wasn't cut and it featured better angle edits...
As someone said around here a few weeks ago, nowadays everyone and their uncles are multicam editors

But since I literally have been agreeing with everything BigGirl says in every thread she posts, I'm gonna say it now: "I agree with BigGirl!". I'll let you know when I don't, in the meantime, pretend that every time she posts I'm saying "+1"
