Thanks!

I am *so* there.

Love the intro DAT selections too.

Where is this from, and if it is official...should have a spoiler alert.

If not comment is cool, I told U GUYZ LPOE!!!11!!OMFG11!

Hey ouizy,

Where'd you get this? I'd love to post it if it is official.

Hey ouizy,

Where'd you get this? I'd love to post it if it is official.

If you do, Carrie, pleae put a giant SPOILER alert on it, please.

Come on, it's way longer than that between opening act leaving the stage and U2 coming on. At least 15 minutes before a DAT track starts rolling.

 

[jon_lemire]

This would be extraordinary if true, but the post above is right -- it takes at least 30/40 minutes between the opening act and U2, not just 15.

 

[FullonEdge2]

there's no way you could expect the entire GA section to fall on the floor and rise at the first riff. This post is B.S

 

[EPandAmerica]

I so got chills reading that, and I feel like crying.

oh my god

butterflies!

oh my god

butterflies!

Oh my god, I thought this was just for fun?

Have I logged on to zootopia by accident?

 

[U2@NYC]

I hope this is not true.

Why start with the worse song in HTDAAB?

I am just hoping that the live version is much, much better than that horrific album version.

 

[mama cass]

I thought this was just for fun?

I thought so too, but it still gives me butterflies

 

[knox]

3:21 is the awesome, harder and louder version of Revolution.

If this is how the buildup will go, I approve heartily.

Oh, me too. But until I see it in front of me, I'm a skeptic.

But damn, what a cool intro. I'm the sort of U2 fan that would be happy if they played Fisher Price xylophones for 2 hours and went home. Sure, there are songs I like better than others, but I'm not griping no matter what they start with.

Well, maybe I'd gripe if they covered Miami Sound Machine

(1. 2. 3. 4. come. on. ba. be. say.. you.... aaaaaarrrgrhh)

But otherwise, I won't gripe.

Can you imagine?

Bono going...

"Come on , shake your body baby, do the conga
I know you can't control yourself any longer
Come on , shake your body baby, do the conga
I know you can't control yourself any longer

Come on , shake your body baby, do the conga
I know you can't control yourself any longer
Feel the rhythm of the music getting stronger
Don't you fight it 'til you tried it, do that conga beat"

I'm sorry... but that would be hilarious

 

[impy13]

I don't understand the "lay down" concept. Are they going to tell everyone in GA to do it ahead of time?

Just seems kinda cheesy/lame to me.

 

[Numb1075]

this thread went off the tracks in a BIG way........very comical indeed

 

[Raid]

They will probably fire a gun on the GA floor...everybody is bound to drop to the floor then.

 

[Zooropean103]

I hope this is not true.

It's only "your" opinion. In my it's the best HTDAAB song or at least one of the best. I'll be very glad if it will open show/encore.

 

[ouizy]

FANTASY ALERT!

Well, true this thread went astray. Basically no, none of this is true, but a figment of my imagination. This was just an idea that popped into my mind and I thought the last line about all of the GA section simultaneously lying down would have completed the joke. I wrote this after remembering seeing a setlist fot Willie Williams that included the intro segment into Elevation including the intro songs and their timing.

Although some think that it takes longer between bands, and some think it is a relatively loose schedule, it is quite the contrary. The shows typically are scheduled to the minute, if not the second due to venue curfews. When you re-read the latest statement by Willie he states: “Whatever we've got ready by 8.45pm on March 28th is what we go with.” On Elevation I think there were 3 songs between bands and with the printed setlist that Willie had, they were scheduled to the minute. I am sure the same will be true with this tour.

Anyway – that was relatively fun.

Naturally, everything I say here is my opinion... like everyone else's.

Actually, every time Bono says the SECRET WORD, we all scream real loud.

And does everyone know the secret word?
