Update: got there after 8:00...no shot. Stopped scanning (with 1 song left in Kings set.
Oh well, dinner was amazing, plus i got about six rows deep outside ellipse.
WOW.
Before going in to the show, I thought that there was no way it could live up to my expectations/hopes. The buzz around Van has been all U2, everywhere you go. Filmed the video; rumors about the DVD. How do they possibly live up to the hype, I asked myself.
Then they come out and...
Plan on going with a tasting menu of some sort...going early (5:30), plus hoping to wheel and deal, given how we'll be the only people there. I bet Feenie is going to the show...
Totally worth it...And I'm fairly hardcore.
I thought I was pushing it writing an exam today: Apr 27. and then flying out tomorrow before returning the next day, only to write a huge exam on Sat. A.M.
Having read your posts...I feel WAY better.
Study...then go hard on Friday. (no more posting till then, study!, then give us the best...
I am doing this also, but am 5'11. Don't imagine back will be all that bad (back floor not as bad behind back floor); plus bonus*may get in ellipse*; plus can find perfect spot for /sound/view/production.
PLUS, dinner at Lumiere before concert = too hard to pass up.
At least I have a...

I know I'm in the minority, but I think they...
Notes:
BTBS - I like it...it is a far more reflective version and quite polished IMO.
RTSS - good, but NOTHING will top the ZOOTV version.

The Fly - OK...
