1. I agree. It is a indeed "good" album but not a great one. Some solid tunes on it. However, (for me anyway) it doesn't have EPIC tunes like the preceding five albums did.

    What tunes are your favourites/least favourites?

  2. I was amazed how great they were at performing - keeping things to a minimum and not relying on any bells and whistles to enhance their performance.

    (I may sound like I am taking a shot at U2 and the 360 tour - I saw it twice and loved it both times - but I am not. I just found the whole PJ experience so refreshing and real.)
  3. So... which shows does U2start have covered now?

    Am I correct? I think we're doing well for a few guys on a U2 forum. Six out of thirteen.

    (And yes Matt, I am trying to tease you a little with this light, but it's also for serious purposes )
  4. Oh, you're talking about actually attending the show. I just want to make sure that we collaborate on getting all the bootlegs when they are released. You CD people might throw us all for bit of a curve - but I understand why you want a physical copy of the show - I got mine. (I was lucky that the Night 1 show was available as a free download otherwise I would have likely bought it twice.)

    I am very happy for those of you who are going. Sure I am a bit jealous but I have had multiple opportunitites that I missed so I can only blame myself.
  5. Who's going to Amsterdam 1? Ed?
  6. I'll be in charge of purchasing the two Germany shows.

    SPAM...SPAM...SPAM...
  7. I promise you'll get the bootleg from me even if I buy it on CD

    Edited the list... found a post in the concert's you're about to attend topic where Alvin said he might attend Prague.

    Well... It says who's going on the right of the text in bold. Erikvloedgraven for Amsterdam 1.

  8. Maybe we should start a list for purchasing the boots too.

    Copy and edit if you're gonna buy a boot
  9. If someone here attends either of the Germany shows and wants to swap, I'm okay with that. I just thought it would be easier for me to remember if I took from the same venue.
  10. If you go back many posts, I believe a few others said they were "in" - namely Ed and Ron.
  11. I'm up for buying one more show at least. Maybe Oslo or Copenhagen... been to both cities a few times...

    I'll take Oslo if you people don't mind. I have a feeling it might be a special show. It's two weeks from the first anniversary of the horrible attacks last year in Oslo and on Utöya. Also... for most Swedes, Norway is the country that feels the closest to ones heart (apart from Sweden). Those attacks pretty much felt like they happened in Sweden.

    I've edited the list.

  12. Yeah, I remember that. I don't remember them stating any specific shows though.
