1. so, what time is everyone getting down there? I plan on getting there around 9 or so for sure.
  2. i wonder if they'll rehearse tonight. you would think they'd want more than 1 day of rehearsals after 3 weeks off.
  3. Probably about 6 or 6:30 PM, since I've got tickets and such.


  4. I cannot wait. This will be my first U2 show I've ever been to. I've seen DMB 25 times, but no U2 until Sunday






  5. Not the greatest of pictures, but I took the 2 hr round trip journey down to Soldier Field. The security guard said the "sound check" was at 3PM. I got there around 5. Not quite sure if it actually happened.... I think there was some rumbling on Interference that it took place after that?

  10. Rehearsals in Chicago, 10/09 thanks to U2gigs.com



    There are only a couple of days to go until the second leg of the 360° Tour kicks off in Chicago, and the band rehearsed at Soldier Field today. The lengthy soundcheck's most notable inclusion is Your Blue Room, which was soundchecked in Europe last month and has never been played live before.

    The soundcheck was as follows:

    - bass and guitar soundchecks, including bass of Crazy Tonight and With Or Without You and guitar of Beautiful Day and Where The Streets Have No Name
    - Breathe
    - No Line On The Horizon twice, only Edge on vocals
    - Get On Your Boots
    - Magnificent
    - Until The End Of The World
    - Stay
    - The Unforgettable Fire
    - End of Get On Your Boots into first verse of Beautiful Day
    Short break
    - Your Blue Room multiple times
    - Unknown Caller
    - Elevation
    - Unknown Caller again
    - Magnificent
    - Until The End Of The World

    Many thanks to those on Twitter and Interference who reported live from the venue.
