The words to this song are so beautiful...It is my favorite B-side for sure. The first time I heard it, it hit me like a ton of bricks and has done so every time since.
Daddy's Gonna Pay is my favorite Zooropa track...It killed me to see Original of the Species live at San Jose 2...I don't know what I would do if they played DGPFYCC....:drool:
The outside rail gets really deep really fast compared to the inside. If you are in the top 200 in the door and get lucky and scan in you are on the bar. If you are much past 50 in the door and do not scan you are somewhere behind the people on the bar on the outside.
I have quite a few friends who have had GA for most or all of the first 6 shows....Here are theirs and my statistics.

For SD1 at 9:00am there were more than 400 people in line. At SD2 there were probably...
I just spoke to someone there. They said there are NOT two lines today because no one knew about bringing their membership card as it is not posted on u2.com.
It is posted on atu2.com but as far as I know most people wouldn't conside that official. There was also a lot of uproar because...
I would be too. I was there last night and as it stands now if you are lucky enough to have one of the three people in group get the "golden ticket" you will have to choose who goes and who doesn't. By my estimation each person has somewhere between a 15% - 20% chance of getting in. So odds...

I was there yesterday and as number 6 in line I know all of the accurate details. At 9:00am the brought over the line that had been established by fans the day before and throughout the night. The numbers hit 409 by 9:00am. Everyone walked over in line to the GA line. If your tickets says...
