It is now story time!
It was the day before the LA Dress rehearsal. A few friends and I had waited patiently all day. Keep in mind, the Sports Arena is not in the nicest of neighborhoods. In fact, it's in So. Central LA.
From our lil spot across from the Sports Arena, we could hear U2 play songs. We'd almost pee ourselves as we heard yet another long lost classic... "Gloria", "An Cat Dubh /Into The Heart"...
As night came, we waited patiently... finally just after midnight... out comes Adam Clayton!
He walked the line of the 20 or so people, taking pictures and signing things.

He was more than happy to answer questions.
ME - Will you be playing "Even Better Than The Real Thing" this tour?
ADAM - "I don't think so as we played it a lot on the last few tours."
ME - "You only played it 10 times on the Elevation tour; 11 if you count the promo show in Paris".
ADAM - (laughed) "You fans always know these things better than us".
ME - "A Man And A Woman" had one of his slinkiest and sexy bass lines.
ADAM - "Yeah, it's one of my favorite bass lines on the album."
ME - Will you be playing it on this tour?"
ADAM - "I don't think so".
Bono was the next to come out. The limo came out of the parking lot and then The B-Man approached the line of us. He was in good spirits, answered questions (I'd asked if they'd play "Mercy". Bono was surprised that I'd heard it. He joked "So YOU'VE got The Edge's missing CD". Before signing he asked: "How do you spell buffalo?" I spelled it for him and hence, his signing my CD booklet "Buffalo Bono".
A few mins later, another limo came out of the gate. It passed us by and we let out a collective sad "awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww..." but then... the limo stopped and backed up. There was then a collective "Yay!". Out popped our guitar hero - The Edge. He walked down the line of us, shaking hands and greeting each of us. After getting to me and the end of the line, he excused himself and went back to the front of the line to take pictures and sign autographs. Now THAT - is class.
Here's a piccy of Bono with someone very near and dear to me.

Good times!
