Well, when they announced BEP's to open in Vancouver I was pretty much expecting a shitty lip synched hip hop act but judging by the audience reaction, most people were completely blown away or at the very least pleasantly surprised. Everyone was up on their feet dancing and clapping and singing along! That being said, I have faith in U2's ability to book a decent opener, and i'm sure Nickelback would be a rockin good time! However, if they're going to book a Canadian i'd rather see Tom Cochrane!!!
Oh, on a completely different note, i booked a hotel in downtown so we can take the train that someone suggested. The Days Inn is VERY reasonable for DT and only a block or tw from the train. Just wanted to give a heads up to anyone else needing a hotel. My only concern is how safe DT Edmonton is at night. I'm sure it'll be fine with all the rowdy U2 fans about.
