That pic of the Bruce show reminds me of why I dislike stadium shows so intensely. Ants on stage.
This is all just a rumor. We've been through this before.
The "new album" isn't even a rumor; it's just wishful thinking taken from Bono's ramblings.

martha, my dear...I don't know that it is such ramblings...even Mr. Clayton has been insinuating that this could happen...but I sorta agree with you that we've been through this before. I can't completely defy you..you're my favorite.

Well, the pic makes it look farther away than it is. Granted, from the stands it won't be exactly close, but we're talking Fenway Park here. It's not that big. Some of those seats in the stands would be like seeing U2 at the Fleet Center (or whatever the hell they call it now).

put me in the camp that believes another album will be out in 2006

I'll still believe both Fenway and the new album when they actually happen.

This rumour is horseshit. I'm sick of U2 having such a hard-on for the US or is that the U$?
I have a friend who works at Fenway (got me free seats when Bruce was there) and he told me, as of now there is no reason to believe there will be a U2 show.
He says they have talked, but both sides are far off on many issues (money, etc).
He also said, the Rolling Stones has been such a hassle (and its messing up the field big time) that he sincerely doubts that they will let another big act like U2 (with there stage) have a show there.
I hope it happens, but as of now, just a rumor.
If it doesn't happen, blame Mick and the boys. Bastards!

That's a shame...though it's not like U2's stage setup is anywhere near the monstrosity that the Stones setup is.
Guess we'll just wait and see. It is a year away, after all...Maybe it'll work out some other time. I would love to see them at Fenway some day.

I agree with most of what you're saying here. It seems logical that the Stones' show last night wasn't too spectacular, with the girl falling off the top of the right field wall overshadowing the actual concert that was going on. The field didn't seem to be in good shape, either.
Although it's not like the Vertigo stage is that parking garage that showed up in center field last night in Fenway.
In my honest opinion, the Stones are a little too old and are trying too hard. I know they've only played 1 gig (their 2nd is tomorrow night, also at Fenway) on this tour thus far, but give me a break! I think U2 is more sensible and will realize they may have to downsize their current stage a bit (possibly remove the circular-like playing area and keep the elipse formation) to a-fit more people and b-improve the sound quality on the field.

I think even the Sox trump U2 when it comes to home field advantage. MLB will not, nor do I think they've ever, planned their schedule around anything other than.... baseball games.
The schedule for next year is probably already drafted, if U2 IS to play there, they'll pick some rough open dates and shoot for those.

That is correct, Fenway is the smallest park in Major League Baseball I believe..

Either Fenway or Chicago's Wrigley Field is smallest, but I'm not sure which. Including standing room, Fenway seats about 35,400 for baseball.

Ok, so say maybe 10,000+ in the stands and more on the field that can fit on the GA in a usual US gig.

I saw 10 arena shows and 5 stadium shows in the first two legs of this tour. The stadium shows crapped all over the indoor ones in every way. U2 is something else in front of 100,000 people.

Thats a stretch, the closest seats in the stands for the Fenway shows are very far away from the stage as the seating fans out in the outfield. Though Fenway is a small baseball field, I'd venture to say that seating at a football stadium has its advantages over Fenway cause the width of he field is a bit less where the stage sets. If there were ever (and there isn't) a way to have the stage in the infield where the seating is closer, it would give the show a lot more intimate feeling. I saw the Stones last night and Bruce in 2003, as I said then, the only seats worth anything at Fenway for a concert are on the field, and many of them are still too far away.phanan said:
