Hartford Setlist Watch and Party Part II

[cleazer]

Instant Karma again. Interesting stuff. I really have to credit U2 for continuing to change up their sets this late into the tour!

 

[nurse chrissi]

but imagine this:

didn't that happen on the day they did live 8?

till friday..

nite, nite all.

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

I'm glad they didn't do Bad tonight. That means there's a chance they'll play it on Friday

 

[neutral]

I looked for an ice scraper this morning and of course I couldn’t find one. I'm going to have to go out and buy one, again. Somewhere in my place I've got to have a 1/2 dozen ice scrapers.

u2.com membership cards work rather well.

 

[Pop Artist]

U2Tours revised Help as just being Bono and Edge, so it probably wasn't a full out perky Help.

 

[Lila64]

Time to take a computer break. Thanks for the party! Hope we have a source or at least texting for Friday's show. I have given my number to a few, and can pass along numbers if needed. PM me or post in the General Discussions thread about sourcing for shows. There's only 7 left in the U.S. - let's make the best of it!!!

You don't have a u2.com membership card?? They work really well.

Hahaha, me too! I hope they play it.

bye, everyone... everyone... everyone...

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

I'm headed to bed. Send all your good ellipse karma my way for Friday. I'll see you for Cleveland on Saturday night (unless I decide not to blow off the English department holiday party, which is unlikely...)

 

[u2wedge]

Hey! They DID put the Buffalo Lennon Campaign on the front page of Interference! Hope to get some signs in the ellipse!

 

[Gen. Chat]

Good night everybody. Be sure to bring snacks, beer, and hand warmers next time.

Are you going to the show alone? If you want we could meet up, would increase ellipse chances as if one of us gets scanned in, we might be able to pull 3 in together vs. 2. Look for a pink hat.

The three best versions, off the top of my head, are:

1. 12-26-89 at the Point Depot, Dublin (amazing version!)
2. Washington D.C. ZooTV (the best ZooTV version on a night when the band was mostly off, musically speaking)
3. R&H DVD version (although I believe it was touched up in the studio)

All are soundboard recordings, which really makes the song sound incredible.

 

[Axver]

Good night everybody. Be sure to bring snacks, beer, and hand warmers next time.

Last thing I need in this climate is hand warmers. Blah. Feel free to have my summer heat if you want it!

Just saw that! Good going

Ok, really leaving now

That would be great, if the people around you would let me squeeze in. I have friends who are driving up from Ithaca and can't come until later in the day, so I'll be on my own. I'll be in a striped wool hat with a long tassel on it (I look silly in it, so I'm easy to spot).

The girl I'm going with will have the pink hat on... I'm pretty normal looking so I'll blend in no matter how I describe myself....

The name's John, btw.
