Moscow Selist Party - Part 1

[ramblin rose]

So only a few hours until this historic show begins. Not sure if we'll have any updates, but from what I read this morning UTEOTW and IALW was soundchecked.

If I'm lucky they'll be able to do their hookup with the Russian cosmonaut tonight and that will be the end of IALW for the rest of the tour.

According to world clock this show should begin at around 12PM CT. (9PM in Moscow).

Here's the 1000 mikes link for u2tour.de just in case

Oh man, didn't you already hear it twice this leg? Is it okay if I make you a high quality bootleg with IALW from all of the 360 shows where it has been played?

replace tour with career, please u2.

Morning everyone, might make it to this one

 

[BluRmGrl]

So glad I came in to check on the Crack House... I knew this show was on the 25th, but I had Thursday in my head - not Wednesday! I would not be a happy camper had I missed this!

Thanks, RR for starting the thread early!

Hahaha... Looks like Edge has graduated from stealing Sharpie's to stealing cameras. Funny.

that's a sweet picture. i'd like to see it full size.

 

[ramblin rose]

I love the drama that a U2 show creates in a city.

 

[YBORCITY]

YBOR is in the house

Evidently the army is out in full force moving people around like cattle

Hi all

 

[ramblin rose]

Yeah, not sure what Matt's last tweet meant.

We just had to left the stadium after being up in the seat. They won't let us down again. Good scanners are not synched here. Phew. Matt

IALW 360°: With all the ATYCLB songs on the setlist, you KNOW they're going in this direction, anyway.
Also...yeah, here's hoping they give IALW a rest after tonight. It's a decent little song, to be honest, but they've only got an hour and a half to play and there's so many great songs in the back catalog they could be playing instead.

Spoiler

Like Your Blue Room.

EDIT: Regarding Matt's latest tweet..."Ground control to Major Matt, your signal's gone, where are you at? Can you hear me, Major Matt? Can you hear me..."

Hi, all. Are we going to have audio today?

 

[ramblin rose]

I'm not too hopeful about audio today.

That's what I was afraid of.

There is something scheduled on 1000mikes 1000MIKES - U2 Live Moscow By RacerMan & Gianni (Aug 25, 2010 5:00 PM)

 

[lauramullen]

Hello everyone. Unfortunately I have to work 12-9, so I won't be here for the party.

this image is on the u2.com homepage:

Oh, hey, each one is a reference to a different tour! Edge has a numbered shirt from Elevation, Bono's dressed as MacPhisto from Zoo TV, Adam's decked out in Popmart gear, and Larry has his outfit from Vertigo. Very clever!

Nice find!! I'll update the first post with this link also.

 

[ramblin rose]

Wow, not cool.

Tweet from atu2

Before U2 concert in Moscow police closed down tables of Greenpeace and One. Amnisty Int'l activist arested.

 

[Steved1998]

Wow, not cool.

Tweet from atu2

Jesus.. They don't mess around over there. Bono's going to be pissed.. Wonder if they're going to still do the Iran theme since Russia is one of their allies and all

 

[schnumi]

Yep hope U2 have the balls to mention it during the concert.

 

[ramblin rose]

I was thinking the other day that this might be why they switched out SBS for Pride in Helsinki. They were getting ready for not doing the SBS bit in Moscow and possibly Istanbul.

Bono better be careful he doesn't get hauled off.
