major_panic said:Hell sounded like a good idea, I think Vari proposed that earlier.
I'll make a thread for once.

This is why you go to both nights.
Or, in my case, 7 of the 9 gigs down here. I didn't miss anything, though I wasn't at the show with what's currently the last full band Walk On (2006-11-10, Sydney; Liam was) or the last Zoo Station (2006-11-16, Adelaide; Bonnie was). I've made a few firsts, or first-in-a-whiles, but largely not been at lasts.

The main memory that came flooding back at this second show is that how fantastic it felt to hear the audience sing along to every single song What an amazing atmosphere!
Had a big smile on my face listening to this all the way through
major_panic said:The only problem was that a) I missed out on the first concert tickets by getting the selling date wrong and b) I couldn't have afforded two anyway.
Now on the other hand, I'd go to both, regardless of how much it'd have cost.
BTW, next tour, I'm sleeping over at your place, cause you live closer to the city and hence I don't have to wake up ridiculously early to get a good spot.

Don't worry, Melbourne II was by far the superior gig anyway. I think it was the best in Australia, while Melbourne I was the second weakest, with Brisbane the weakest.
And my place is reasonably handy for gigs. But where I stayed for the Vertigo Tour was the best! It was at the intersection of Spencer and LaTrobe, so barely a minute or two's walk from the Telstra Dome!

(And we've seen something of Bono's acting skills )

I was the same way the first few times I was listening to those boots... biiiiig cheesy grin... of course, that was after the post-concert grin faded... which took about a week or so

And I am still pissed off that I didn't see Edge call us Sydney. I was looking elsewhere (why, I DON'T know), and heard it, but I thought it was Bono until DAYS afterwards.

I'd've camped outside the Dome, myself.
Damn it, U2, get a new tour going already.

Streets at Melbourne 2 was just ....... far out awesome! I remember Bono's reaction to the incredibly loud cheering .. he just looked so amazed and happy ... it was just incredible!
Brings a tear to my eye really ... just beautiful! I just felt so happy that night especially
