What does the band do in between the sound check and the concert? Do they stay the night in the cities where the concerts are or do they fly back to some city where they are staying?

Bono's on my phone calling world leaders and rackning up huge long distance bills.
Edge usually drinks all my booze.
Larry works out and looks in the mirror a lot.
Adam usually sits in the corner and knits.

they normaly only stay in the city they're playing in if they're playing there multiple dates, or have some other reason to be there.
That's because he lives there.I know for a fact though that The Edge has spent some of that off time in Los Angeles, while the band has been in Mexico.
Pop Artist said:These last dates since Buffalo have been the exception to the rule though, likely because they have been hopscotching about a bit. Although they apparently did stay in Chicago between Charlotte and St. Louis, they actually have been overnighting in the cities they've been playing - they stayed in Cleveland, Charlotte and Omaha.

... I ran into Edge at the Springsteen concert at the Pantages on May 3rd and I also talked to him at the Rolling Stones concert at the Hollywood Bowl on November 6th.
Halup said:They also use Mexico for the exact same reason.

I know Edge lives in the L.A. area. My point was that while the other 3 are staying out of the country in Mexico to avoid taxes, Edge is not doing the same. He apparently has placed his family ahead of his saving money on taxes. The other 3 guys live in New York, yet as an earlier posted noted, have been spending time in Toronto to avoid taxes instead of staying at their New York area homes.

I am not kidding.

I believe you have to pay taxes to the state your house is in whether you live in it or not. A homeowner pays property taxes. My guess is that Mexico is warm, since we have been freezing here in NY.

You would pay property taxes on your home, regardless of where it is or whether you spend time there. The reason U2 was spending a lot of time outside the US while on tour in the US was to cut down on the income taxes they would pay, which has nothing to do with the property taxes.
