I drank a lot of VB while visiting Australia and New Zealand.

well, i guess you must have been stranded in the desert with nothing else to drink.

My sympathies.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Good to know that he survived to tell the tale.

 

[cobl04]

you can drink worse than VB stubbies.

if he was drinking from a can, aka horse piss, then i pass on my sympathies.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Was he living underground?



Sorry, couldn't resist.

U2 in Argentina?

Hola!

I am studying abroad in Argentina for six months and I have heard rumors that they are coming to Buenos Aires! Of course it doesn't say on the U2 tour site, but considering they came to Virginia (and it wasn't on the list either) I was HOPING maybe someone knows some information about them visiting Argentina.

Muchas gracias.
Thanks so much!

Nothing announced Jennifer, but I'm hoping that they do come to the southern hemisphere. i mean really, it cant be a "world tour" if its just NA and Europe.

Yeah. Just like Springsteen's "two year WORLD tour" that just finished last year

 

[Axver]

Looking squarely at you, Elevation Tour.

 

[prbiker15]

Looking squarely at you, Elevation Tour.

Agreed there...And yes, it's not really a world tour if it's only NA and Europe...but with tough times these days, we never know where the road will go.

 

[coolian2]

i look at missing the elevation tour the way i look at dodging a bullet.

Joshua Tree tour

 

[The Sad Punk]

Joshua Tree tour

Yes?

 

[coolian2]

Joshua Tree tour

followed up by lovetown?

which was just the joshua tree tour without the cool songs.

 

[cobl04]

lovetown > jt tour

because

oceania > america/europe

 

[Axver]

followed up by lovetown?

I'll take God Part II over Trip Through Your goddamn Wires.

 

[adrball]

Hey you guys...hope you get something coming soon and not like in 2038. For one you deserve 360, and two, I really missing that Coopers Ale. Yum yum.

 

[The Sad Punk]

I'll take God Part II over Trip Through Your goddamn Wires.

I wouldn't... but I'd still take Lovetown over JT.

YouTube - U2 - Love Town Tour - Sydney - 1989 - "Desire"

yes yes YES

 

[cobl04]

^ not featuring:

TELEVISION!!! TEL!!! E!! VIJ!!! ION!!!!

 

[U2girl]

followed up by lovetown?

... so ?

Different tour two years later, different stage setup, different setlists. It's not really JT tour part two.

 

[blueeyedgirl]

lovetown > jt tour

because

I was there!!

 

[Earnie Shavers]

There really does seem to be such a disconnect between that U2 and what came next. It's hard to believe that literally then, maybe that night, *that* Bono and *that* Edge went back to their hotel (after a detour, I am sure) and worked on songs that became Achtung Baby. I think they said Acrobat was written in Sydney? It just seems like two totally different bands in every way.

 

[neilfinn]

Anyone else getting the feeling this might not happen?

Its not like they dont have time this year to make it happen.I dont think it would make sense to revive this 360 thing for a 3rd year just for a few shows.
I think u2.com has said all 2010 shows now announced...

Hope im wrong but starting to get a sinking feeling..

Oh I'll have to agree, as of now, I think 360 will be only North America & Europe...3rd year revival isn't U2-ish, in my opinion.

there's a bootleg where bono says they wrote who's gonna ride your wild horses (i think?) in auckland. it adds a bit more credence to the story if he's claiming (if we can assume accurately) writing two different songs from the next album in cities with similar lovetown show dates.

it's not that much of leap either - god part ii shows some of the upcoming intent.

 

[beli]

So is this the fat lady singing? Should I book my annual leave now? Ive been holding on to some leave in case U2 toured Sydney/Melbourne/Brisbane but not Perth.

 

[coolian2]

i'm not optimistic, but i wouldn't give up hope yet.

 

[Shimiken]

U2 won't tour Australia&Japan in 2010 at least.
Some posted that nother aussie got reply from Principle Management
last month.

"I’m sorry, but there are currently no plans for U2 to tour Australia this year…"

・Aussie shows?waitlist?
Aussie shows? waitlist?? - All About U2 - Main Forum - U2 Community - Message Board


And I(Japanese)also got reply from Principle Management.

"I’m afraid there are no plans to tour Japan in 2010."

 

[beli]

Thanks Shimiken. Well, that makes it easier to plan my year now.

 

[mysterious_jen]

well given how 2010 is working out for me , 2011 may be better .
le sigh.
