On drums, the thunder and lighting of the band, Larry Mullen Jnr - and when he smiles the sun comes out..'

    But like I said I could be wrong


    Been saying stuff like that at various shows for years. In Cardiff he introduced himself too, whilst saying thanks to the crowd. No biggy.

    Unlikely to film first night of the leg too.
  2. Latest from Willie...

    Slightly bleary day but it started with my waking up and finding myself in New York City, which is never a bad thing. I crawled out of bed and headed for the pub across the street. No, I haven't developed morning alcoholism, it's part of a very peculiar deal with the hotel where they are providing breakfast for us - not in the fine dining restaurant downstairs, but in the Irish bar opposite. I honestly have no idea how or why such a strange arrangement would come about, but after being on tour long enough a man learns not to ask. Especially when there's free food and a decent cup of tea on offer, even if there are elderly men drinking pints of Guinness at the next table.

    We're fully into the onslaught of extracurricular activities now - Saturday Night Live at the weekend, plus planning for the inevitable broadcast / DVD shoot which his coming up and then there's Gavin Friday's gig at Carnegie Hall which we're all getting involved with. This, plus preparing for the Big New York Shows (actually held in New Jersey) is more than enough to fill every waking hour.

    I did, however, manage to get out to breathe in a little of New York City, on a hot and sunny afternoon. I love this city and under blue skies it is all the more loveable. Not too much more to report other than finding myself standing next to Goldie Hawn whilst waiting to cross Broadway around 52nd St. She looked great, as it happens, and very much like Goldie Hawn (rather than a scary older version of what you remember, which is often the case).

    OK, back to work.

  4. Pay per view broadcast I wonder?


  5. Being that we have the remastered "The Unforgettable Fire" coming out this month, and a new album coming out in March/April...

    ...I don't think we will see a tour DVD until some time after that... Quite possible not until November-ish 2010.
  6. That said, what show WILL they film? They will probably film a few and release the best.

    Seems that the Rose Bowl is the biggest show of the tour (stadium size and such). I have a feeling that might be the one released, as long as the show goes off well and there are not glaring technical issues and the like the look of the filming once it's been done.

    Which state is the Rose Bowl in? And no offence intended, but why are we getting a third American DVD??

    Do you really think it will take that long for Songs Of Ascent?


  9. Rose Bowl is in Los Angeles California...and onto your point about America...as an American even i don't want another DVD from the states, although the Rose Bowl is a pretty cool stadium, but i can't see the LA crowd being really strong on a dvd


  10. Thery can't start it until at least the start of November and then they still have to finish the album and mix it and all that good stuff. No way it's out before then...i'd say even that's a bit optimistic.

    Hmmm. Thanks for the answer
  12. What about munich? I was checking the venue map, and there's a large area at the GA that seems to be closed off. And I remember from the Boston DVD, that they used much of the GA to cameras and stuff. And the design of the stadium actually look a bit like the claw itself.. I'm just saying...
