There is one :30 second commercial contained within the program each night.

All I have to say is...WTF!?!

Are they gonna end up doing secret shows in all of those cities? Or is it gonna be one show and aired everywhere? And if so....location please?

But wait...Boston? LA???? Shirley Manson...my goddess?!?!

My head is going to explode I swear

you're not the only one!


ok listen, after CAREFULLY reading the headlines on these websites, and hearing from a friend who heard the announcement on the radio in NY today, this is what i think...


chicago site says it will be a small show in chicago on march 10th...not a large arena! so, chicago for sure!

both NYC sites and what my friend said add up to it being at small venue on march 11th. BUT NYC WAS NOT nessicarily the location, there was NO location mentioned.

Lila64's info says a live show with U2 in Boston on the 11th.

i think radio stations in nyc are gonna run a contest to go to boston. just like when my gf won tix from an LA station to see u2 at the listening party in nyc 3 days b4 the brooklyn bridge gig.


this is what i think...
one show in chicago on 10th
one in boston on the 11th

MAJOR U2 CONCERT ANNOUNCEMENT
The station that launched U2 in America drops major concert news at 7:15am Monday.



Posted over in lila's thread in the other forum too

 

[lauramullen]

Why don't they like Philly.

 

[jon_lemire]

I think I agree with the poster above: that the "secret March 11" concert being advertised on NYC radio stations will not, in fact, be in NYC. In fact, one of the sites (101.9 RXP) even says "win a trip to see U2 at secret location/small venue." I think that's the Boston show. My guess is that the NYC events are all this coming week: the Letterman gig, GMA, plus the possible concert (at Fordham?) after the GMA show.

Leaving us with:

March 2nd - 6th: Letterman
March 6th: GMA appearance/possible concert
March 9th: Los Angeles live radio broadcast (but no concert, it seems)
March 10th: Chicago live radio broadcast + concert
March 11th: Boston live radio broadcast + concert

Does this sound right? Am I leaving out something? Other theories?

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

Chicago or Boston would definitely be possible for me. It'd be best if they threw in a Philly show, too, though, since that's closest. This is very exciting!

 

[lauramullen]

I want them to do a Philly show, but that would never happen

 

[tripletmom]

BOSTON!!!!!! I almost died just now!!!!!!

 

[daygloeyes2]

BOSTON?????????????????? OMGOMGOMHGO0Iw2j/t4w2.kgt.k

 

[Super_Fan]

I'd go with the House of Blues or Ophrum Theatre for the Boston show as the venue. Chicago either Grant Park, Vic Theatre, House of Blues, Riveria Theatre or Aragon Ballroom. LA I'd go with about 300 venues I could list but Nokia Theatre or Wiltern Theatre (only venue that ever to tell me I can't steal their power damnit)

 

[Hewson]

I'd go with the House of Blues or Ophrum Theatre for the Boston show as the venue. )

George Thorogood is at the House of Blues on the 11th.
Hall & Oates (groan) at the Orpheum

The Wailers at the Paradise.

Thats 3 logical possibilities already booked.

Hard Rock cafe is a maybe. (strangely, Joshua Tree is there on 3/13, if they were listed for 3/11, I'd buy tix right now)

 

[LDM007]

Maybe there's the possibility of something like the Wang Centre, Colonial, etc., which are not booked on the 11th.

 

[NotBono]

If its in Boston, I'm so there. Need to find out location

 

[Super_Fan]

Opera House I guess where the Ritz is located and Hyatt.

 

[Hewson]

Maybe there's the possibility of something like the Wang Centre, Colonial, etc., which are not booked on the 11th.

Colonial doesn't do concerts, Wang is a possibility, Opera House is booked.

 

[Hewson]

Opera House I guess where the Ritz is located and Hyatt.

"Dirty Dancing" is there thru 3/15.

 

[LDM007]

"Dirty Dancing"'s at the Opera House on March 11 so I'd cross that off.

Also, I saw the Smashing Pumpkins at the Wang Centre back in November. It's a decent venue, but you have to pray that you get orchestra seats.

 

[daygloeyes2]

Why don't they like Philly.

Come to Boston! We'll hang out and stuff.

 

[daygloeyes2]

If its in Boston, I'm so there. Need to find out location

Same.

I am freaking the fuck out right now. Seriously. My fangirl meter is in overdrive.

 

[Hewson]

Watch it be one of those "Mix Lounge" type radio things where only 20 people can attend.

 

[Sweepingsound]

Boston?!!!!! Awesome!!!! I live on the cape, but I will so be driving up for the day...

 

[daygloeyes2]

Watch it be one of those "Mix Lounge" type radio things where only 20 people can attend.

I hope not.

 

[popbellydancer]

several venues in LA are booked. but the likely ones are not!

 

[Acrobat51829]

Same.

I am freaking the fuck out right now. Seriously. My fangirl meter is in overdrive.

Same.

 

[popbellydancer]

looks like it's gonna be irving plaza type gigs where you have to be a celebrity or contest winner to get into boston or chicago shows?

 

[JCOSTER]

All this information is like overloading my brain. I can't keep up with everything.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

All this information is like overloading my brain. I can't keep up with everything.

sheesh. me neither! my brain=

 

[daygloeyes2]

I'm at work right now. My boss had to yell at me to concentrate because I'm so excited.

As far as I can tell, only the Boston appearance includes a performance.

L.A. looks like an interview, and Chicago looks like a DJ set.

Logically, it would be difficult for them to take equipment that far across the country in such a short time span.
