Bloody hope we don't get any forum hiccups during tour setlist parties!

Oh, and actually, U-Wen, re: doing photography on Tuesday, I won't be able to manage too early a start. There's reportedly a dress rehearsal gig in Barcelona on 29/06, and the on-stage time in Barcelona (for the two regular gigs anyway) is 10pm, or 6am 30/06 our time. I presume they'll play for 2-2.5 hours, and then there'll be the fall-out stage, more info coming in, etc., so I'll be pretty tied up for the morning on U2gigs. Afternoon should be good.

Yeah sure, no problems - probably around lunchtime should do it eh.

Yeah, that should suit me.

The band are rehearsing in Barcelona. Fans outside the stadium have been listening to the rehearsals and reporting on what's happening. A few songs have been resurrected, seven from NLOTH have been rehearsed, some political elements of the show have already become obvious, and Larry's been a grumpy crank in interviews.

Want more specific details?

Ashley'd pass out. I should take signs for J. Swallow, Race Against Time, and Alex Descends Into Hell.

Bono wouldn't even have to remember the lyrics because nobody could tell if he can or not!

[Axver]

Wait, there are pics of the tour shirts floating around already?

 

[mysterious_jen]

<some in one of the tour threads, they may not be tour shirts, but they are white and have no line on the front and the u2 emblem on the sleeve>

 

[major_panic]

Actually, I wouldn't mind getting in on t-shirt action either.

I think we're all agreed that those who are there need signs for 4th of July, Bass Trap and Two Shots of Happy...

<oh danny you poor bugger>

I suspect we'll be coming back with a fair few shirts!

<do we need to assemble some sort of ordering list and $$ up front to make life easy?>

A list of sizes would be good! Once we know for sure what the tour merch is, let us know what designs you favour. Alison and I are both a bit poor thanks to the trip so money up front could really help, if possible ...

We'll seriously probably take a sign for Womanfish.
