  1. somehow I haven't realized yet it's only 2 days to go until Glasto..... where is excitement when you need it? some Redbull drink should help
  2. been thinking a lot about the opener. being 'old' and having seen zoo tv i did like the anaheim 2 AB barrage to kick off but my best joshua tree opening was streets.

    must be so difficult for them to decide, wonder if tonight will get streets as an opener and they will then decide??.

    i would go with streets personnally to blow the doubters away but they will have to have a big song like vertigo to close the main set.
  3. rofl at that Bono superhero thing.

    Bono is more of a villain though, and a good one at that. Mr Macphisto from the Batman Forever video, anyone?
  4. Video on the countdown site is very cool today. It's Bono's speech onstage one year after his surgery with The Fly playing in the background and visuals of crew loading gear into trucks and boxes then some Glasto rehearsal footage, no spoilers really though.
  5. I remember posting about Glastonbury at the back end of last year, and the replies (or lack of them) just stunned me. I am glad you have all now realised, (and we all hope) that this could be one of their defining and greatest moments. Obviously I am in Uk, and maybe those outside of Uk maybe didnt realise how big this thing is.

    Enjoy, and lets hope they give us that magic that they continue to find where others just can't.
  6. It's got to be Streets to start with. The only other one would be Vertigo. Admittedly they are spoilt for choice!
  7. I need to know what time U2 start playing. Maybe there's a little chance of catch something...


  8. I read somewhere it was from 10pm to 11.45 UK time. Which could make from 6pm to 7.45 in Rio, if this is your time zone.
  9. Few of U2gigs recent tweets:

    And no the new song is not named; simply listed as "New Song?" between Crazy and BD. And remember that these are only tentative ideas (about 1 minute ago)

    An earlier video listing other possible songs included Streets IWF NYD ISHF Pride and Bad. Just two days left to go! (about 2 minutes ago)

    Naturally it doesn't say whether Crazy is album or remix; but given the order (CoBL Vert Crazy) it may be remix. (about 3 minutes ago)

    BTW according to latest video by U2.com possible Glasto songs inclue One CobL Vertigo Crazy new song BD Elev http://bit.ly/knPpFq (about 5 minutes ago)


    Crazy remains


  10. That sucks indeed, but New Song
    Do they have the balls to just play a total new song for the first time at Glastonbury, or is it Mercy, Glastonbury ect.
