It was absolutely wonderful. Most emotional performance I've seen from U2 in a long time....

Boy. Good luck to all in GA tomorrow. I'm on the 200 level this show.

I thought about staying overnight now on the 12th coming in from Indiana. I cannot find anything near downtown Chicago.

I really thought there would be some soundcheck today. Perhaps tomorrow then.

Usually. I love to wear ones from when I was younger! I'm a bit bigger than in yesteryear so its a bit amusing.

I too remember the Greg Kot article in 2005 and Bono inviting him to Chicago 4 where they varied the setlist quite a bit.

Yes! Try a Chicago beer like Goose Island while waiting.

This picture makes me look fat!!!

Interesting. I bet they'll have a U2 tribute band or something!

Just look for the crowd in the city. You'll find them.

Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? No cameras. Heresy! I'd call Soldier Field about the parking. It may be true but it also may be easier NOT to park there and walk from the South Loop. Its hard parking there as there is essentially one way in and out as if you go EAST you'll get really wet.

Good question about tailgating. I would call Soldier Field to ask about parking on the 12th and tailgating restrictions.

U2 will check into hotel on Tues. I'm guessing they'll rehearse Thurs-Fri or perhaps Wed-Fri

I think the South Loop area will provide cheaper alternatives. I havent been in that area in a while but there may be street parking available.

I'm so sorry. It is Saturday the 12th.

There will be a bunch of us gathering at Kroll's South Loop Bar (about 3-4 blocks from Soldier Field) to watch the Notre Dame game before the U2 concert. Krolls is located at Michigan Ave. and 18th Street.

For Chicago 1 (being reasonable based upon rehearsals and European Leg) 1. Magnificent 2. No Line on the Horizon 3. Get on Your Boots 4. Vertigo 5. Until the End of the World 6. New Years Day 7. Beautiful Day 8. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For 9. Stay 10. Your Blue Room 11. Unknown...

Bad is likely to be played in Dublin. I think we'll see 1 or 2 others during those 3 concerts as well. Perhaps Until the End of the World.

Since U2 will have a few weeks off before starting Sept. 12th in Chicago it is conceivable they'll rehearse at Soldier Field for a day or two. I can already see the :drool:on Mayor Daley's face. New noise regulations to increase city revenue in Chicago! Watch out U2, Rich Daley will find a...

This was wonderful! Hope to hear it again! Hopefully an Electrical Storm in Chicago!

I like energy so I think Get On Your Boots >> Vertigo would keep me jumping

I think Drowning Man and Mysterious Ways will make an appearance. Either IALW or Angel will be dropped

I do agree with you. However, I do look forward to hearing songs in different ways. We shall see.

I believe its been honest. I just wonder if 1) every song has been properly identified 2) there hasn't been some songs missed or 3) some songs accidentally written down more times then they've been practiced thus far.

I agree! Electrical Storm could segue so well into many songs (based upon rehearsals): Beautiful Day Bad In a Little While Ultraviolet Unforgettable Fire Crazy Magnificent ISHFWILF Unknown Caller 1 more week to find out!
