Montreal I Party, and maybe a Setlist Watch

[kellyahern]

Really, i wondered if I would think less of the shows after going to lots, but they get better and better. I see many of the same (equally insane) friends in every city and it's been a truly amazing year.

Yeah, meeting people in different cities was fun too .

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

oh, thanks. I am not too familiar with Duran Duran as I had to Google the name John Taylor

whoops, sorry!

 

[dazzledbylight]

I so wish I could hear them--it's about time for some good opening bands (though I liked Keane and Institute )
btw, hi everyone!

things got screwed up for me and I totally forgot Arcade Fire was playing Summer stage in Central Park {nyc} in early Sept and I didn't realize till 2 daYS AFTER

i would of sat/stood outsdie but I could have heard them

 

[LMP]

was there a song skipped in the main set? it seems a bit short tonight

 

[kellyahern]

that's how I'd do it if I had the transportation and the cash

Yeah, being 14 puts you at a disadvantage in that respect .

But I didn't go to my first concert until I was almost finished with college, so it is possible to catch up .

 

[onebloodonelife]

my mom took me to see popmart! some parents

I can't complain too much, my stepmom and grandma drove me up to Minneapolis to see them. At the time, I was 15 and without a license, but now, I have the license and a car, so travel could be done without parents

Trying to find that out will get back to y'all...

 

[dazzledbylight]

Hi Ruffian!

I'm going to have to put my Boston ticket on eBay by tomorrow...my heart is so broken.

 

[*browneyedgirl*]

i think charlotte will be my christmas present

 

[cleazer]

were you GA in Atlanta? I didn't get to meet you!

Nope, I spent all of both days waiting in line for stupid ticket drops, but they never released any GA's while I was there.

The first night I was literally in the very top row, right next to the spotlight operators. It was pretty funny, but still cool, because I got to meet a bunch of guys that day from Latin America who worked for CNN.

Hola, CNN crew, if you're peeking in.

Second night was a major pain, they didn't release a single ticket until after the openers had started, and when I was up there, they only had $160 seats. The BLIND RETARD manning the ticket window couldn't see the faded out signature on my credit card, so I had to spend $160 cash! Leaving me with almost nothing to last me all of this past week down in Texas. I was pretty pissed at that dude, but at least I got to see the show. So I can't complain that much.

Since I'm skipping Boston, the only remaining possibilities for me this year are Cleveland, St Louis, and Omaha.

 

[Diane L]

back at you, dazz!

I thought for some reason Love and Peace was skipped, I don't know why, I don't think I've had any spiked drinks tonight

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

14. Streets

 

[dazzledbylight]

Diane L, sorry...

(Beantown will be the first time I have ever traveled outside the metro area to see anyone.)

verrrrrrry coooool

 

[DignityPassesBy]

AND I'M BACK ... what've i missed

 

[kellyahern]

Time for me to turn in. Have a fun rest of the party

 

[Miringeltje]

i agree! i hope some pictures of this surface

Ditto.
I'm sure we'll see some soon.

You know, I was waiting for some fan action with lights to happen.

And can I just say I was kinda surprised to see that there weren't many people with glow sticks, glow bracelets, blinky lights etc to the concerts I went too.

Maybe it's kinda out to do this.
What do I know?
I don't go to concerts very often.

I was a Christmas Tree however.

Just kidding.

I was wearing what I have by now called my Vertigo bracelet. It has see through round plastic beads and there are 3 strategically placed red blinking lights, so it looks like all the beads are lighting up.

And then I had a necklace with a plastic see through heart hanging on it, which had a blue blinking light.
I only had that on for certain songs though (like Sometimes and Love and Peace).

Didn't wanna annoy the people around me too much.
Which I think I did any way, with all my dancing, jumping and screaming!



I saw the bracelet and necklace at a dollar store and was like: O, what the heck! Let's see what they look like.

I mean for a dollar, I just couldn't resist.

god, i heard the box office was a nightmare--a friend of mine wrote a complaint and sent it to Principle and to the venue. So many scalpers who hired homeless people to also stand in line. So fans were not really able to get tickets. I know three people who got GAs for the second night; they won tickets for the first night by participating in a radio competition (a "name that song" kind of contest about u2).

I'll be at all the shows in December except Charlotte, so see you another time--if I manage tickets.

Diane, are you selling a GA for Boston?

 

[Miringeltje]

Bye Kelly!

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

jumped the gun guys...ONE will probably be next...doh!

 

[dazzledbylight]

Got the cable shut off.
Really basic phone service.
Dr. bills can wait.
Eat at Mom's house.

 

[LMP]

I slipped you some pills earlier It's okay, you'll go to sleep very soon...

I knew that iced tea didn't taste right!

no matter, I'll just go back to my Underground Celebrity Mud Wrestling Ring in my basement until I crash

 

[Pop Artist]

Full setlist/summary so far... (where's Lila tonight? )

City of Blinding Lights
Vertigo (un, deux, trois, quatorze...)
Elevation
I Will Follow
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
Beautiful Day
Original of the Species (dedicated to friends who just had a baby boy, Bono wants them to name him Bono but didn't think that would happen)

Love and Peace or Else
Sunday Bloody Sunday
Bullet the Blue Sky
Miss Sarajevo
Pride
Where the Streets Have No Name

 

[onebloodonelife]

that's good

...and I did get Adam to sign my shirt....in a kind of sensitive area but it's now my most prized possession. The $150 I paid for GA was well worth it, plus I got to skip school

 

[sue4u2]

I think i've been to 37 shows this tour, and I'm at the ones in December except Charlotte. Really, I need to get a life.

With all due respect.. what more out of life should you want for?

(you don't have to answer that) 37 shows
