Yeah my wife and everyone else thought I was crazy/stupid (both of which may be true!), but I was pissed about missing show #3, so no way I was missing #4. Couldn't do GA though, good thing I had seats that night.

1- War 9/83 Tulsa,OK - Old Lady on Brady (12 y.o. at the time, it was a 13 y.o. birthday present- my friend "fell" on Bono from the balcony and got punched by him... in retrospect it was beautiful; my 17 y.o. cousin who took us got in deep doo-doo because he got completely baked at the show)
1- ZooTV 10/92 KC, MO - Arrowhead (I still have a bunch of "Bono" dollars that they shot out of a cannon over the crowd)
1- Popmart 5/97 KC,MO- Arrowhead

And on deck, Elevation- Las Vegas... I never had the money to afford JT or RH tickets from scalpers and had been unsuccessful on the phone with ticketbastard... So soon to be 4 total

------------------
It costs a fortune to look this trashy.
 
Two so far:

Arrowhead(KC): ZOO TV, 10/92. This was the show that got me hooked on U2!

Same place, PopMart, 5/97: Edge sang "Sweet Caroline"!(So cute!). The band stayed in town for several days afterward to shoot the LNOE video, and I spent the first day of the shoot hanging off of a highway bridge trying to see them. (Didn't, got bad sunburn, had to leave town in embarassment the next day!

Going to be Elevated at Chicago 1 (10/15)! I wonder what surprises that will bring...

------------------
...And my old man was into opera, which, as far as I was concerned, was just heavy metal. I like those bawdy opera songs: the king is unfaithful to the queen, then he gets the pox, they have a son, the son grows up and turns into an alligator, and in the end they kill the alligator and make some shoes for the king. But because it's sung in Italian, people think it's very aloof. Not at all.

--Bono, in a Rolling Stone interview, 1987

Ivan...keep monitoring Ticketmaster, some tix will likely show up for Providence. I check daily and will post when I see something. May not see GA's but some tix will certainly show up.
 
6 -- All in Atlanta

UF
Amnesty Int'l
JT (2 shows)
Zoo TV -- Outdoor
Elevation -- Directly in front of The Edge
 
I've seen 7 U2 shows:
1 Zoo TV indoors (Dortmund II)
1 Zooropa (Bremen)
2 Popmart (Hannover & Dublin I)
3 Elevation (Cologne I, Cologne II & Berlin)
(could have been 9, but I didn't get tickets for the second Dublin Popmart show and the third Arnhem Elevation show - I listened to both concerts from outside the venue)

Can't wait 'til next year!
 
4 total - but I wish it was more

Zoo TV Denver
PopMart Salt Lake
Elevation San Diego
Elevation Phoenix

During the Joshua Tree tour, I was in high school and there was no way my parents would let me go out of the state to see them or I would have gone a couple more times.

Hopefully I will catch them 2-3 times on this leg. Salt Lake, Vegas and LA 3!!
 
1- Joshua Tree (Cleveland)

2- Zoo TV (Cleve. and Pittsburgh)

1- Pop Mart (Columbus)

3- Elevation (Columbus, Cleveland and Pitts.)

Ok, I suck compared to most of you...

1.may 19, 1997
Popmart in Kansas City

2. april 6th, 2001
Elevation in Denver

3. may 13th, 2001
Elevation in Chicago

and Nov. in Denver...so four total...

The Chicago show was the best, but just barely over Denver. The little things made the difference: The weather in line was better, the security was handled better, and I got into the aftershow party and met Bono, which is definately better. (The crowd in Denver was better...)
 
1 Popmart (LA)

3 Elevation shows (Anaheim)

1 Slane (Aug. 25)

Going to see:
3 LA (All GA's!!!)&
Las Vegas

I've seen 5 but together will have seen 9 in total!!! LUCKY ME!!!
 
ARGH.

ONE. During freaking JT only!!!!

But it was the infamous BB King show in Ft. Worth, put on the R&H video!
biggrin.gif


Skipped the whole 90s thing, like an idiot.

Hope to make that at least TWO when I get to Vegas next month!!!
biggrin.gif


But haven't gotten tickets yet...

But heard Prop usually comes through...

All I can do is hope and pray...
 
I don't usually fess up to the whole list but I have photos of most of these shows (Not ZooTV darn it) online at U2photos.com so I guess I might as well admit to it all, as it is sorta fun to see who was at the same shows.

I think I probably could have bought a new car with what I spent doing this.

My favorites are hard to compare, but Boston 6/9/01 was probably the best ever show. San Antonio Popmart, the first show after Hutch died, was unforgettable, and Brisbane Popmart was really memorable. Other shows - first time I took good photos, my two birthday shows, stuff like that, anniversary of when my dad died - all were memorable for me but from a public "I'm looking for boots or whatever" list, those three I loved.

San Jose 4/20 should be on there too.

For those who don't know, the photos are of all the Popmarts except Detroit, and the Las Vegas photos suck; and of all the Elevations except Anaheim 1.

Every time I go and take photos to share, I max out a credit card doing it. Well, last week some stupid bank sent me a card after I applied last month and was rejected. It's real, though, and it works, and the interest rate won't make me want to kill myself later. So... anyone want more pictures? If so, I need help: I need places to stay in a few cities, I need to buy GA tix at face value (with TM charges etc but not broker fees) if you know of extras, and if anyone wants rides city to city and to split gas money, that would be great. Please drop by U2photos.com and send me an email, thanks.

And to those I still owe email to - it's coming!

| 40 U2 shows, 1 camera: http://www.U2photos.com
 
I forgot the count. That's 46 full shows, 2 five song sets and two outside the venue tour rehearsals.

No wonder my mom thinks I'm crazy and I don't even own a comfortable couch and I have a car with 170,000 miles... I have a drug problem, it seems.

six shows

Popmart Columbus
Popmart Detroit (Happy Birthday Larry!!!!)
Elevation Columbus
Elevation Boston, night 1
Elevation Boston, night 3 (11 O'clock tic tock ruled...still looking for boots from the boston shows if anyone can help me out)
Elevation DC, night 1

And if everything works out this leg:

Providence both nights (still waiting to see if I got my tixs from Prop for GA)

otto, I think we ALL have a drug problem here, it's called U2

I'd sell my cat if I had to to see U2....which would be hard considering I don't own a cat

I can't change the world, but I can change the world in me.
 
nine shows so far!

1 Unforgettable Fire - Philly
1 Amnesty - San Francisco
1 ZooTV - Oakland
3 PopMart - 2 Oakland/1 London
3 Elevation - 1 Miami/2 San Jose
 
29 so far and I agree with Otto - Boston 4 was the best show.

So Otto will I see you on line on the East coast again?!?!? I'll be in Vegas too.
