Hi guys This is a wee spot of self-promotion. I'm self-publishing a couple of books I've written about the grand, exciting but often very challenging adventure I had following the U2 360 tour. Part 1 is about the 2009 European leg and Part 2 is about the 2009 North American leg...

Hello hello! I'm cobbling together some pieces for an upcoming volume about the 360 tour. I'm gonna include a section about setlist parties and I'd like to delve deep into Interference lore for the beginnings of such shenanigans. Some questions for Interference oldies who can recall the dim...

For anybody remotely interested, I've collected all the various concert tales I threw together during the 360 tour into PDF and epub files. They're grouped into seven files of each format, one file for each tour leg. There are some gaps in the chronology, as I obviously didn't go to every show...

A little blog post some of you may disagree with :) ------------------------------------------------------- There are different levels of U2 fandom. From fans who struggle to remember some of the words of the choruses of the big singles but generally like the band, to anoraks who cuddle...

Just wondering if anyone has any info on where / when the nickname 'The Claw' originated? Was it the official U2 name for the stage when the tour was announced? Or did it start with fans? Someone on Interference could be a contender for claiming it if so! Actually, have any of the band ever...

Tonight was my 21st and last 360 gig of this year, as tomorrow night I’m defecting to see my 1st Muse gig of this year, which clashes with U2’s final show. Some friends in the GA queue today were teasing me about being a traitor, but I’m gonna be wearing a U2 T-shirt, and I’ll be infiltrating...

A wee list of what I like. 1) Stingray Guitar - cos it's quite funny 2) I Will Follow - cos it makes people jump up and down 3) Magnificent - cos it's the best song in the entire show 4) UTEOTW - cos it's an operatic mind f*ck to try to take in 5) ISHFWILF - cos it's a very nice...

Anyone know if Blackberry have officially stopped sponsoring the tour? I ain't seen anything from them at any show this year. Have they stopped loving U2?

What no thread yet! Poor, overlooked Coimbra. (Feel free to delete this if I've missed another thread.) Anyone know which website is the official one for ticket sales for Coimbra? I'd like to check it occasionally for ticket drops.

I'm coming to the USA for the first time next month. Gonna be there for the six weeks of the tour. Could any of you recommend a good pay-as-you-go SIM card to choose that is cheap for sending text messages and also for emailing pictures taken on the phone? I've got a pay monthly contract...

Nifty little animation showing how the International Space Station was built up: January 2011: the Claw with U2 dock for first gig in outer space ...? (No idea what forum this post should loiter in until the gates open, but its bag is packed, its camping chair folds up easily, and it's happy...

Tonight's gig will probably unfairly be remembered for the hiccups. Unfairly because the gig was very masssive, whilst the hiccups were either relatively small and unnoticeable (apparently there were some screen probs), or wildly appreciated by the audience and only ended up adding to the night...

I hadn't planned on going to this concert but I was offered a 800 Swedish krona ticket for 200 krona (about €20) by a tout just before the concert began but I managed to get it for 100 krona in the end! It was a chilly n windy day in Gothenburg, and even more so after the sun had gone down...
