    Gotta love the Scottish.


    great one LOL

    now I'm looking forward to any video material from Walk On... just to see the band's faces when the sound broke down
  2. Just listened to my recording of last night's show and from MLK to walk on the sound just fell apart. Almost a min of walk on there was no music at all. My 3rd show after the two wembley shows with Sat being far and away the best of the 3 and friday 2nd.
  3. My take on last nights show for what it's worth. I'll bullet point them.

    - When I walked out to see the claw in it's full glory, I was blown away. An amazing construction
    -Short lived as myself and the Mrs had possibly the worst seats in the house. Front row, right in line with the back claw on adams side, completely blocking the stage and getting a great view of the back of a cameraman on a scaffold. £150 each..... f*cking raging!!!
    - Show started and the sound was tremendous. The best sound system I have heard in a stadium, ever.
    -Too many drunk twats fighting amongst themselves, getting lifted and stretchered out... as seems to be the norm at every Glasgow U2 gig i've been to. (No offence to the people of Glasgow, just an observation)
    -Sound broke up a bit then completely shutdown during walk on... with the band obviously still hearing themselves in their IEM's.
    -Larry looks so uncomfortable doing the congo thing during crazy tonight.
    -Poor setlist... my standout being Unforgettable fire and Ultraviolet. Too many songs have run their course (For a 30 something like me anyway). I've heard Pride at every U2 gig I have been to since the mid 80's.

    Overall, great performance and great to see the band again. Could have been a bit braver in their song choice. I would probably have been satisfied if End of the world was played and would have been over the moon if they had played 'Bad'. The glitch during Walk on didnt bother me... it was actually good to see that they are human after all!! My big letdown being that I paid a fortune for premium seats and got completely ripped off!!

    Happily for me it will be my last gig at Hampden Park. An absolute toilet, and has to be the worst 'big' stadium for viewing. Even at football games it's crap. Somebody got it wrong with the seating plan and I'm guessing there are a good few hundred unhappy people around this morning.

    mad paying for those tickets. were never gonna be worth it
  5. There was a very heavy bass thud in MLK , could well have been the start of the PA falling apart . did anyone else notice Bono's vocal sounding absent during first few lines of Pride ?


  6. I was so excited at the time of the presale I got carried away. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Took the shine off of a great performance. Just kinda feel ripped off by U2 on this one.

    I haven't been there but I read that Bono's mic didn't work for the 1st verse of Pride. So that must be it, I guess.


  8. Why are so many going to Sheff? :S

    The sound problems started with MLK then it started to fade in and out during walk on before completely shutting down. Not sure if Bono's mic problem was related or just coincidence.
  11. as a u2 fan for nearly 30 yrs i was disappointed with the hampden gig. ive seen u2 - 9 times now. yes the claw looked fab but it did fook all but block my bloody view. the claw was just too big for hampden and christ knows how it took them 3 yrs to design.

    i thought bono interacted with the crowd much less than previously. every gig i have been too he has got a girl out the audience to dance with etc but this time he never. i was hoping they would play bad but unfortunately not. they have not played that in glasgow for years.

    id have liked an apology from the band re the sound problem as well.

    they were as good live as always but i just expected more for waiting 4 yrs to see them again.
  12. Really enjoyed the band's performance and I thought the sound was great considering it was at Hampden. The only glitch was during Walk On when the sound went off and Bono's vocal disappearing during Pride.

    Main reason for posting was in reply to earlier posters observation of the amount of people drunk and disorderly. It kind of took the shine off the gig a little. At least 4 songs were disrupted stretchered out, arguing amongst themselves. Everyone leaving early ruined the end of the gig too. I would be interested to know if this kind of thing is common at the others venues. I live in Glasgow, however next time I think I will go elsewhere to watch them. Sorry for the rant, it just ruined my enjoyment a little.
