  2. It's too bad that people are going to read this and think the Global Fund is irresponsible, when in fact, the complete opposite is true. They are uniquely transparent about what happens to their money and as Bono described during the WEF in Davos, corruption was only found in 4 out of the nearly 150 countries the Global Fund deals with. Since the corruption has been discovered, NO aid will be given until changes are made within the country to ensure the money gets where it's needed. Unfortunately, corruption of some sort seemed inevitable, but I think it was necessary to find out which nations' leaders were corrupt so they can be changed for the future. Also, it appears that the amount of money sent to corrupt nations has been exaggerated, probably in an attempt to further sensationalize the story.

    If anything, the Global Fund should be applauded for being so transparent and taking on the inevitable criticism. They've helped save more lives than not, and THAT is what should be in the news, not this stuff.

    Anyway, in my opinion, this is their biggest tour, and those numbers just confirm that...


    No it isn't (at least with all the dates we know, which are 110). Since they only played in stadiums, there are less gigs than Vertigo (132) or ZooTV (158), and the UF tour had just a little more date (113), according to u2gigs. But it might be the tour where there were the biggest crowds
  4. yeah the biggest for gross audience not for the number of the shows
  5. Yep, tours aren't measured for number of shows played, but for people in attendance AND total recaudation figures. And U2·360 is gonna break both records.
  7. They seem to be just saying "the last North American date of the U2 360 Tour".. That's good
  9. If they can play a field in Moncton with the Claw, what in the world is wrong with our big field here?

    Should be epic though with Arcade Fire.
