1. Wise to take seats instead of standing on the rail
    Imagine you buy tickets and suddenly U2 is sitting next to you
    Bono doesn't look fit though
  2. Funnily enough, I was just ONE CLICK AWAY to buy seats for that very same show I freaked out when I saw that pic this morning. I could have seen Noel sitting besides Bono or Edge - that simple thought is just mindblowing.

    I wonder who's in the middle of them both by the way, they aren't sitting together. Ideas?
  3. not news, but don't know where else to post it, it's quite random:
    I work at a big book store and had a customer today who came to me asking for any u2 related books saying "you know? the band?" - "err, yes... I know. let me see what we have in stock." - and she went on saying "yeah, they're kinda getting big now again, you know?" ... to top it off, when I showed her the tour book (360), she didn't even know what that was about. "360... what was that again?" oh, just the highest-grossing tour ever, but okay. they weren't "big" then, I guess.

    what was her age?

    that anecdote greatness is inversely proportional to her age.

    (i.e. if she's young enough, then that's U2 reaching another generation )
  6. So I guess this happened during the show:




    And this happened after the show, in the backstage:

    closing in on 50, I'd say.

    I would say it's directly proportional. The older the woman was, the more ridiculous is not knowing who U2 were until now

    Well, I said greatness, not hilariousness.

    Anyway, she's around 50, so I feel free to laugh.
    (Still, I find it interesting that someone who didn't care too much about U2 during the 360, is becoming aware of U2 right now)
  10. I was wondering about that, too, what with no new music videos and hardly any coverage here in germany since the "secret concert"...
