  1. How laggy was the site when the first 360 show was on - and the final Vertigo show?

    Edit: Hiya Frank!!!
  2. Whole site crashed on Barca I if I remember correctly.
  3. You might be right. Yeah it went real slow and then to hell in a handbasket.

    Especially when it was said UV was being played. NO WAY.

    On the final Vertigo show U2start had less than 2000 users if I recall correctly. And I was too busy during Barcelona1 to see if the forum held the pressure But I don't think it definitely crashed. It crashed SO BADLY during 2009-07-18 - Paris, it went down for a good 2 or 3 hours. Too many users. It was close to crashing on Turin 2010 and of course during Glastonbury too.
  5. I so remember those days - very few people. Then it just exploded - how nice it was being user 180. I think the biggest crash I ever saw was when Boots was premiered - although hearing the advance 20-second snippet the night before. My reaction:

    SEXY BOOTS, WTF.
  6. I was staving myself off because I wanted to wait until Chicago without seeing the setlist at all. Didn't really work....

    Rolling Stone Interview: "The band opens with 4 tracks off the new album before they hit war horses like "Sunday Bloody Sunday", "Where the Streets Have No Name", and "Pride".

    Then I was curious one night if U2 had ever played Electrical Storm live in any sort of capacity, and Googled it- only to see it popping up from the 360 Tour. Didn't recognize the bells in the preview video from the 30-day countdown, so it was news to me. Sidebar showing related videos of Crazy Remix, COBL, Vertigo, UV, and TUF, so those were blown for me too.

    I predicted the comebacks of UV and TUF though, two of the tour's bigger surprises come opening night.
  7. Hahaha, I know - it's hard to resist. I just didn't expect half of 360, what did happen, to happen. The new songs - when was the last time that ever happened, not since October Tour or even earlier? - the show coming to Australia again (logistics nightmare) and other things.

    And of course, u2start to be there too.
  8. Yeah this tour was pretty nuts. Can't believe my first outing seeing U2 was going-on three years ago, and yet STILL part of the 360 tour. It is a whole new monster looking back on it now, those first two legs barely even get remembered in all the chaos that ensued.
  9. Ahh, the Turin setlist party. Possibly the best one.
  10. I remember being in the car on the way home from a vacation and following from my mobile phone. Crazy crazy crazy.

    I was PISSED that they opened with BD.
  11. I missed that!!! I still remember heading to Melbourne, not sleeping, being up here all night, taping the afternoon soundcheck and then walking into Ethihad Stadium and thinking how the hell did that fit in here.

    Beautiful Day....terrible opener.
  12. I remember the Moncton party. When I went to bed it was something like 5 or 6 and outside it wasn't dark anymore. I could've just gone out and done something that you do in daylight.

    Agree on BD, I liked Stingray though.
