Folks, Are we still looking at a 8:45-9.00 PM start time for the band?

Another thing we both noticed was Chris Martin's vocals were not mixed right and the band seemed to overpower him at times. Picked up better as the show went on but that' s how it played out on our stereo system.

Definitely not a snoozefest but my wife is the biggest fan and she felt they dropped the ball on the setlist and so did I. They mixed in too many new songs for a festival and the continuity was missing. U2 definitely blew them away IMHO.

Oh yeah, it's a Beautiful Day! Gonna be big time in Spartan land today.

Probably the core setlist from Anaheim II minus a song or 2 due to time constraints with the addition of Glastonbury after WOWY. Hard to fathom them not playing Glastonbury.

I'm hoping they close out the tour with this new setlist; at least play it in East Lansing! Way to shake things up U2.

The band needs to give "Get on your Boots" the boot and kick "Miss Saravejo" to the curb and bring back "ISHFWILF" and "Bad".

What's the consensus on North Star. I kind of like it. Interesting it came from the How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb sessions. Here's the youtube video from the Turin show. :up: YouTube - ‪U2 North Star Turin, Italy 2010‬‎

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.

Crazy Tonight; the way they did it live was pretty darn good IMHO.

You were able to do that because the show has lots of tickets available at all price ranges. Glad to hear Ticketmaster finally accommodated the end user.

Yeah, they should drop MLK and bring back Pride. At least the crowd would be into it.

How many rows back are we talking about here. I've got 4 in back of the stage for E. Lansing for my friends in row 41 just slightly left of center toward Edge's side. How's the view of the video screens and the stage from that height from there? Do you see yourself watching that a lot?

No Red Zone in EL? The field is plenty big enough.

Cassella said MSU has already begun its logistical planning for handling the crowds associated with the show, whose set-up is one of the largest and most elaborate in rock history. Among the details: There will be no implementation of rules that allow on-campus tailgating on Spartan football...
