1 Zoo TV when i was 18 that started this whole bloody fever!

7 Popmarts - I had a great Time
i thought the first leg got off to a slow start with no so perfect performances
followed by damn near perfection at the 3rd leg

11 Elevations! this was the big tour i was saving up to do..matter of fact, My boss actually gave me a $1500 Bonus just to spend on going to see U2 - that helped out with the hotels and airfare quite a bit.


I spent what would have been my 20th show standing outside Fall LA 3 - without a ticket...never been so down as that show...


i only plan on seeing the Vertigo Tour Once...Maybe Twice if it's convenient.. i simply am not going to try to top myself. to damn expensive


Come on Texas 3rd leg!!
 
very nice...

I will be seeing the 6 Southern California Vertigo shows, so that will soon push me to 40 full shows.
 
Which begs the question halup and beershack - which was your favourite and why (in less that 500 words ;) )

BTW I've been to a meagre 10 shows.
 
Beershack, I've been to quite a few of the same shows as you!
But I am only at 34 (possibly 36, memory prob) since before Joshua Tree I kept thinking "They're too big now." Ha, ha, ha! Glad I came to my senses.

Plus, this tour, two SJ and two Seattle.
 
24 since 1987, and if I can count standing around for 14 hours and getting shut out of Boston March 17, 1992, then maybe 24 1/2

after May, i'll be at 29-
average probably $80 ticket (scalped and otherwise) every cd video, etc. then overall i probably have spent.....
ok i'll stop now, i cant do this to myself.
 
Hey I'll join in the fun here. My magic # is at 30 shows.....
