U2ieTour hits Antwerp - All discussions

Originally posted by nicocoppens:What did you think about the crowd response last night ? From where I was, I thought it was pretty poor.
I had a seat in the second ring and lots of people went sitting every time a non-greatest hits was played.

GA seemed to be really packed.

Gonna make my way to the queue at 1 pm today. Facing the cold !!

Same where we were standing (GA at the back, 10 meters from E-stage) Really poor response of the crowd. They were having loud conversations during Every Breaking Wave right in front of me, so I ask them to respect the band while there playing and respect fans as the're listening. And if they wanna talk loudly, step outside the venue and have a chat there.
Lot of them didn't know any SOI song. And even during 'One' they couldn't sing the lyrics outloud. And when the volume of the music during One went down a bit, everyone around us softened there voices too. As if the're scared to let them self go. We all had this same experience at U2 concert in Bruxelles in 2010, so it's not the venue but the people. Come on Belgium, ' Let it gooooo'.

Yeah indeed... What a shame...
+ there were some drunk Walloons behind who didn't now a single song except for Sunday Bloody Sunday and were always shouting "ALLEEEEZZZ" instead of the lyrics. Even during October and EBW. Could've punched them in the face... If they weren't 2meter.

no violence please....

Like I said, were I was standing it was very special: looking directly at the die-hards in front of the I-stage: it didn't look or feel lame at all from that perspective.

but next to me was 1 older woman who was sitting down for the entire concert, without ANY facial expression.......
