  1. No beer allowed at this stadium...


  2. After having done the whole GA queue experience one, I definitely agree with this. You meet all sorts of people from nearly all walks of life and conversations are easy to start up because you already know that everybody in line has at least one common interest: U2. When I was in the GA line for Anaheim 2, I met a lady who had been to over 50 U2 gigs in her life, including the Slane Castle and even met Bono's daughter at a ZooTV gig. Come to think of it, I wonder if she's a U2start member as well...

  4. God, I hate snippets. Easily the worst part of Bono's stage presence.

    Either sing the song, or don't sing the song. Don't give us some teasing bullshit.
  5. I love Bono's snippets and song references. I cannot imagine a U2 show without it. This time, there seemed to be a little too many rain snippets. It must have been raining a lot during this show. I loved the "Singing in the rain" snippets that I heard personally on the shows I went to. Bono seems to be very fond of the song. It's quite a playful way to pay reference and respect to songs and artists you love. However, as far as U2 song snippets go, I'd rather hear the whole song!

    Good to see Stand By Me, can't wait to hear/see this performance.
  6. ♥ Stand By Me ♥

    My favourite memory of Singing in the Rain is at the Brisbane Vertigo rehearsals when it was pissing down rain and Bono was skipping across the stage under an umbrella, kicking through the puddles and singing snippets of Singing in the Rain. Magic.
  8. Wow... That was both awesome and horrible at the same time. First. The show was great, the band played powerfully... and the LIGHTNING tons of lightning made the visuals even more epic. Second. This really did ruin the concert for me. The sound. HORRIFICALLY QUIET! I could easily have a conversation with the people next to me during any song. I've been to probably 20-30 concerts in my life and this is by far the quietest I've ever heard. My 6.5" Pioneer speakers in my car produce sound just as clear, but louder than what we heard. On the upside, it was crystal clear,
    I'm just going to assume I was in a total dead zone.

    After being at the back of Soldier Field in 09, it was so perfectly loud, you had to scream to hear the person next to you. My ears rang for a good day due to the powerful blissful sound. Not even close tonight.
  9. No mention from Bono of the events in Norway??



  10. Nope, not a thing. I think he will comment more in general on it, to world problematics etc.

    Not all shows have the same volume levels. It depends on the type, size and design of the venue, on the sound crew and engineers, on the crowd (a loud crow will make the whole concert experience somewhat louder), and last but not least, on the legal sound limits on each venue, city or neighbourhood. Maybe the TCF Stadium or the neighbour/county it's in have a sound limit and that's why they couldn't turn the sound over XX dB? I'm just guessing, nothing sure.


  12. That is surprising to me. I would have thought Walk On would have been dedicated to Norway.
