    A medley would throw a bone to the fans in the "a" category, while having more time to throw a couple of extra songs for the fans in the "b" category.

    I wouldn't like a medley, but tbh, if they decided to go that route I wouldn't leave the concert angry because of that...


    Exactly what i wanted to say
  2. Bono and Edge went to see Noel Gallagher and his band at the Point Depot last night:

  3. Wise to take seats instead of standing on the rail
    Imagine you buy tickets and suddenly U2 is sitting next to you
    Bono doesn't look fit though
  4. Funnily enough, I was just ONE CLICK AWAY to buy seats for that very same show I freaked out when I saw that pic this morning. I could have seen Noel sitting besides Bono or Edge - that simple thought is just mindblowing.

    I wonder who's in the middle of them both by the way, they aren't sitting together. Ideas?
  5. not news, but don't know where else to post it, it's quite random:
    I work at a big book store and had a customer today who came to me asking for any u2 related books saying "you know? the band?" - "err, yes... I know. let me see what we have in stock." - and she went on saying "yeah, they're kinda getting big now again, you know?" ... to top it off, when I showed her the tour book (360), she didn't even know what that was about. "360... what was that again?" oh, just the highest-grossing tour ever, but okay. they weren't "big" then, I guess.

    what was her age?

    that anecdote greatness is inversely proportional to her age.

    (i.e. if she's young enough, then that's U2 reaching another generation )
  8. So I guess this happened during the show:




    And this happened after the show, in the backstage:
