I've sung a bunch of U2 songs a lot of the years with extremely differing results (I'm much better with crooners like Sinatra, Darin and Elvis...Presley, that is). "WOWY" is one I try frequently and it's been great sometimes, horrible others, and everywhere in between. As far as audiences go...

Found this amusing. Seattle News - With or Without Huard - page 1 With or Without Huard KIRO can’t live without him. By Damon Agnos Published on March 10, 2009 at 9:35pm Last week, it was announced that former University of Washington and Seattle Seahawks quarterback Brock Huard would...

I'm pondering visiting my Dad and Step-Mom in France and my dozens of cousins in Ireland, and seeing the respective concerts during that time. Just have to figure out if it's realistic financially and energetically.

I just thought I'd throw out "Deadhead losers" for fun. I'm sure you don't fall into the category. It's really meant for only a few aholes from the Elevation Tour who followed the band around everywhere, got into the Heart every night, and thought it was a major accomplishment. They were rude to...

First come, first serve had the same people over and over getting in. The Deadhead-type losers. I'm glad they went lottery so I could get in and the regulars could get crushed on the outside on a nightly basis.

I'm going to do what I learned to do a while ago. Wait until the last weeks (days) before the concert and go from there. I'll have lots of money ready and do whatever it takes to get good seats (or floor...I got lucky and someone online sold me 2 face value floor tickets for Vertigo Miami II).

I saw Denver Popmart, the 3rd show of the tour. There were about 30,000 people in a 60,000 capacity stadium, it was freezing, and I couldn't see the stage from my 6th row seat at the end of the row. The one good thing about the lack of people was that we could move back to the central...

That took guts and if all the crowds were like the one at Nassau Coliseum (where I saw them) it paid off big time. Ok, even if they *all* weren't like that, it still paid off big time.

Pretty cool that after talking about "U2 Way" she asked him his favorite U2 song. And appropriately enough it's "Where The Streets Have No Name." _________ "I don't want to be on the news.*You* want to be on the news." "Emm...that's true."

Ha Someone in the know :wink: "I don't want to be on the news. *You* want to be on the news." "Emm...that's true."

The KJ Collins Gets Into Whatever We Call The Ellipse Tour

I got Lasik in 2000. Both my eyes had trouble with the big "E's" on the eye chart. I hated wearing glasses and my eyes never particularly liked me sticking contacts in them. I now have 20/20 vision. I don't know about new techniques, but my advice will always be the same: No doctor can...

You're welcome. Glad to (hopefully) help. I need to put something at the bottom of my posts. Make them a little less minimalist.

Good plan. One way to find out what previous people have done, and been asked, to get into the theater on the day of a show is to go to alt.fan.letterman (I go through Google Groups) and do a search in that group for "trip report question(s)." There won't be a lack of information and you'll see...

Forget the Internet. I've never seen a show, but I do know from others that you can usually get tickets if you go to the Ed Sullivan Theater in the morning of a show date. With 5 shows, your chances are obviously higher. They'll ask you a question about the Late Show (to make sure they don't...

I've been a big fan of Letterman since the 80s, but the 2 appearances by the band (Bono and Larry for an interview, 2 songs in 2001) were quite mediocre, especially compared to Conan and Saturday Night Live. Sometimes I think bands just don't click with a venue or a host, for whatever reason...

I've got to say it's: one bowl, and it's runnin' low... you give me one box now its all i've got... one bowl, and we've got to share it, got to share it baby...

I'm in the middle of reading it. Well, I'm not reading it in any particular order. The one thing that bothers me is how the band looks at the whole Pop/Popmart era as one big negative. I know there were rough times, but when you have live songs as good as Discotheque, Please and HMTM... you...

I read this about 2 years ago and enjoyed it. I'm poor and actually take out books from the library (I'm there everyday and even there right now) so perhaps I'll check it out again. Just a couple floors up. Like others have said, it gives a perspective that you're not going to get from another...

You must! My life revolves around U2 shows, at least during the years they are touring. It's a spiritual experience. An extemely fun spiritual experience.

Right back atcha! I've spent a lot of time in the Greater Vancouver Area and love it. As I said in another thread, I saw U2 in Vancouver on April 13, 2001 (Friday the 13th, Good Friday, my birthday). An electric night.

Thank you, BonoFox1 and JCoaster :D:D

No, it's Kevin. But perhaps we were separated at birth and I'm his evil twin :sexywink: And thanks for the welcome :D

Hi Kristen :wave: I'm new too. I saw U2 in Vancouver on April 13, 2001 (Friday the 13th, Good Friday, my birthday). Beautiful day and night.

Thanks for the welcomes, Bonochick and Spun2U :D Good to be here.
