YAY today's the day Had trouble sleeping last night

I'm still voting/hoping we will see both HMTMKMKM/UV would be a great 1-2 punch for the Encore, I agree with most here they could maybe shelve WOWY unless they play it like they did JT Tour/ZooTV. And MOS while I thought it was a curious show ender after seeing live it works out very well kinda reminds me of LIB ending the Zoo shows.

Show day! Whoever decided to open this leg in Italy was very smart - U2 shows in Italy are generally always amazing, and Italian audiences tend to be some of the best.

I'm really hoping for Hold Me->Ultraviolet->WOWY->MOS today. That sounds like a pretty incredible final encore.

Dutch women are fine, but nothing beats the Scandinavian girls.

Can you imagine having that problem for the last, well....5 years? lol

Honestly though, I loved the Vertigotour . Realy good setlists, surprises etc..Still convinced that from day 1 this tour is missing something and I still haven't figured it our yet what it is. Is the absense of a theme(space...yeah right), the pretty static setlists? could be...Very curious about tonight, what they will do with the opening and the HMTMKMKM instead of or and UV...

Yeah, it's the intimacy of a smaller venue. This is what you get when you go stadium. I think the Vertigo tour will be viewed well in the annals of history. They nailed it wiith that tour. This one is good but doesn't measure up IMHO due to the stadium and setlists.

I love this band. : )

My fave band and my fave food.

I love them.

[zoopop]

Bono hands me pizza:

Here you go

me Thanks

Where's my tip?!?

me PLAY SOME MORE POP (insert Discotheque riff right after)

 

[Us79@u2place]

there's a soundcheck right now: someone's playing COBL, technicians probably

Now Vertigo

It's confirmed: no band, only technicians

People including myself think the transition of a rock style intro to Beautiful Day doesn't work, or doesn't make sense. But take a look at Breathe and Soon, to totally different styles of songs yet it worked quite well. The new rock intro reminds me of the way they entered the Vertigo Tour with Arcade Fire, and then they stop and kick in with the opening track. I can't see Beautiful Day opening every show on this leg, or even 80% of the shows, it almost feels like a one off special occasion.
