This is very helpful, thanks. I'm debating re-activating my membership, but we would want seats this year rather than GA. I've had the impression that the membership presale wasn't very helpful for that, but it is nice to get additional feedback. Any tips on how to figure out which seats...

I've been trying to figure out the same thing. It does look like the 16a might be the best bet at least for getting to the concert. I'm thinking that unless the city wants a bunch of stranded tourists on its hands, it will run the buses late enough to get everyone home after the concert. Or...

It's been ages since I posted here, but I'm finally checking "see U2 in Dublin" off the "do before I die" list so of course I'm back to tap into the fabulous collective wisdom here. I'm staying out by the airport. Has anyone figured out the logistics of getting to and from Croke from there...

This has been a really fun thread to read. It's a slightly different take on the favorite lyric question and in a lot of ways is more enlightening. For me, it will always be Running to Stand Still. For the moments when I'm screaming and crying internally, but the world around me hasn't a...

From what they said when we checked in, the people at the front of the Philly 2 line got there between midnight and 2 am. We got there around 10:30-11 am, and were lucky enough to get a spot on the rail inside the ellipse, but that wouldn't have been early enough to be on the rail outside the...

Looks like it's a fan gathering / fundraiser: http://www.intotheheart.com Not sure if it was a one-time thing or an annual thing. (Is the phone message from last fall? Something about Bono still doing Mac all these years later makes me smile.) Anyway, it sure looks fun! Also, the phone...

Bono singing to his food? :giggle: Now I want to hear that too!

Elessarian, credit goes to gr@cie. I just tinkered with the URL a bit. :)

Bless you, gr@cie! I had heard about this but hasn't ever listened to it before. For anyone else trying to d/l, I had a bit trouble getting the link to work with the spaces so I figured I'd make it easier: http://tinyurl.com/745n9 should take you straight there.

Just wanted to bring this thread back to the subject it should be about... Mel, that story is amazing! (As evidenced by the fact that it's still on the first page after all this time.) It's funny, I was in Dublin later that summer. We did a tiny bit of U2 touring, but didn't hang out outside...

Last tour, I was on such a high after the first DC concert that I talked my coworkers into going to DC 2 with me that night. Fantastic tickets miraculously appeared on ticketmaster so I figured that was a sign that I was allowed to keep the high going a bit longer. Post-concert depression...

I bet he could find a way to do it if he wanted to. I would guess that the no-fly zone won't apply to the major dignitaries. He could always catch a ride on air force one. I'm kidding, sort of. (The story that pops into my head is that of Al Gore catching a ride with Bill Clinton to make it...

For some reason, your story made me really happy. Conversion stories always do. If absolutely forced to, I could probably produce my Popmart ticket to "prove" that I stuck by the band through a less popular album and faulty technology (rain storm the night before blew out lights, etc. at RFK)...

Heh. Took me a second to realize Bono's snazzy new sideburns in that pic are the confetti. I was sitting here wondering if that was a microphone or if he was doing the costume thing again or... confetti's fun. I remember missing out on the Zoo TV tour and being jealous of everyone coming...

I'm expecting tickets to both DC shows and neither set has arrived yet. So long as I'm not reading 100 posts about how everyone else has them in hand, I'm not worried. Well, maybe a little worried. But that's because TM canceled my 10/20 general sale tickets (claiming I'd gone over the GA...

Native Son We were mixing the bitter with the sweet

Right now, for me it's all about Ultraviolet and All I Want Is You. :drool: Pretty please? *cough* ellemarie@gmail.com *cough?* And thanks!

:hug: Thank you so much! That's a fantastic version, and I love the extra lyrics. :love: Hmm... now I'm not sure which version I like best. Extra lyrics vs. the wonderful imagery of people sitting in their cars, tuned in across the UK "all Irish tonight". That always sucks me in, makes me...

Thanks, dandy! :dancing: U2 songs are rarely instant favorites for me -- they usually take a bit of time to grow. But I can already tell that this will quickly become one!

I wasn't able to get GAs for MSG, which was a bit disappointing, but I did get them for the first DC show. Also, for what it's worth, there were still a bunch of non-GA MSG tickets available at 10:45. I'm too broke right now for the expensive tickets, and I didn't want to waste the code on...

Is this the one with added lyrics? I would love to hear it if you'd be up for sending it to me: ellemarie@gmail.com Without hearing that one, my favorite is Point Depot 31-12-1989. I love the intro, and the segue into Dirty Old Town.

Any idea why Mercy's not part of the iTunes Complete U2 but Fast Cars is? Anyway, I would love to hear Mercy if someone would be so kind: ellemarie@gmail.com Thanks!

Once upon a time, a good friend of mine was absolutely certain it was "don't let the bad stuff get you down" instead of "don't let the bastards grind you down" because "U2 is a 'good' band and they wouldn't swear." She heard what she wanted to hear because she was a "good" girl and didn't want...

Tryin' to Throw Your Arms Around the World

Thanks, namkcuR. The original Stuck was one of my initial favorites off ATYCLB but I got a bit sick of it after a while. My own fault, since I played it on repeat. The acoustic version is really beautiful, a great new way to enjoy it. Is this from the CD they sold only at Target? I have...
