  1. Which artist did you see?


  2. Sahara Hotnights (from a long distance)
    Paulo Nutini (from up close, 15th row or something)
    The Ark (also up close)
    Brandon Flowers (only half the set, from something like 20 m)
    Coldplay (from maybe 25 m)

    The other artists I only saw a little bit of.

    Cool. How were Brandon and Coldplay? I wonder does Brandon plays his own songs or also covers by The Killers and other artists?

    He plays all of what you suggested

    Brandon was very good, Coldplay were awesome incredible epicness
  5. Was there a light show again? That looked amazing at Glastonbury especially during the last song.


  6. Yeah, they had some lasers and stuff But in Sweden it doesn't get dark in the night during this time of summer This is every teardrop, last song, 22:45, still not that dark

  7. I was just thinking that Stevens Spielbergs work and U2's work are somewhat analogous, let me clarify...


    The 80's - The classics
    Spielberg: ET, Indy, Empire Of The Sun (granted, Spielberg already made two classics in the 70's, Jaws and Close Encounters).

    U2: The Unforgettable Fire, Joshua Tree.


    The 90's - Even more success/experimentation
    Spielberg: Steven uses CGI for the first time (in Jurassic Park) and starts to make some more serious themed films like Schindler's List and of course Saving Private Ryan. He also made Hook (not well received).

    U2: The band experiments and depart from their distinct 80's sound with: Achtung Baby, Pop, Zooropa (not so well received either).


    00's - Mixed
    Spielberg: Steven makes all sorts of different movies like War Of The Worlds, Munich, AI, The Terminal, Catch Me If You Can, Indy 4 (later admits it was poor). No classics this decade, and mixed reviews from fans and critics.

    U2: The band ''goes back to their roots'' and is at the top of their game with ATYCLB and HTDAAB. Then NLOTH came, which had a lukewarm reception.


    10's- ...
    Spielberg: Seems like more experimentation with the 3D animation Tintin, and more drama oriented films like War Horse and Lincoln (the biography of Abraham Lincoln).

    U2: Also more experimentation with Songs Of Ascent?


  8. That was incredibly random. Kudos

  9. I would like to share something important too:

    I was born in 1996, this inspired U2 so much that they released the greatness of Pop

    My sister was born in 1999, that made U2 release ATYCLB. Which is nowhere near as inspired and excellent work as Pop.

    Conclusion:

    I must be better than my sister! (she hates U2 too)


    It's all very logical isn't it?

    Thanks for Pop then.
    But let me tell you something my friend I was born on 22-05-1992 that day U2 gave one of their best concerts. Dont you think that that had something to do with me

    WINNING
