1. Does anyone have a tally for the number of U2 outdoor shows it has rained during. It seems like its over 50%?! I have been to four outside U2 shows and it rained during 1.

    An impossible stat to gather I imagine/ 1/5 for me though.
  3. 50% no way. I guess maybe a 20 or 25% could be the word...
  4. Maybe if we counted the number of times the song "Rain" (or a snippet of it) appeared in the setlist?

    nah.... to much work.

    36


  6. haha, lol.....

    Not the answer of course, I'm sure it rains and Bono doesn't include that snippet


  7. No, I'm an optimist AND I take yeah's word for it!

    so 36 rainy concerts on the total number of U2 concerts leads to only one conclusion:
    It is nearly ALWAYS dry at an outdoor U2 concert!
  8. Not every time it rained, he included the Rain snippet. Not always.
    Anyway, Yeah's answer shouldn't be that impressive to you, joost, do you know this web?

    I know that website! I'm a member there.

    Perhaps counting Rain snippets and Singing in the Rain snippets would give a better number. Hard to say really unless you listen to every show and every time Bono mentions the rain. Sometimes he doesn't do a snippet, not sure if there's one at Red Rocks?

    WTF!? I wrote U2gigs on the URL code This goes to the bugs thread. Ignore it


    PS. No, there isn't any "rain" reference in Red Rocks, although it actually didn't rain during the show


  11. which sort of proofs my hypothesis.....
