if some one has a drone, he or she could land it on the roof with mic and record everything !
The doors at ground level have the best acoustics outside the venue.

Locally hired crew have all been told no eye contact with band members.
WTF is it with celebrities and no eye contact. I expect this kind of thing from Sean Penn or Streisand or The Oprah...but U2? Disappointing (if it's true).
Wouldn't be surprised if it was a copy and paste from Madonna's tour rider. Oh, Guy O...WTF is it with celebrities and no eye contact. I expect this kind of thing from Sean Penn or Streisand or The Oprah...but U2? Disappointing (if it's true).
I suppose this is just a way to keep the workers working and not talking to the band, staring at them, asking for pics/autographs...
Not making eye contact is a way of nipping this in the bud.
But i do agree, its a bit extreme.
I believe everything I read on the internet because it's always true, especially extreme things.
Interesting. I tend to be more skeptical of what I read on the internet, especially extreme things.
I don't look other interferencers in the eye.
Its true, very odd having a conversation with him while he was staring at my chest.
well you shouldn't have worn that v-neck
I went out tonight. I arrived to hear them doing pride and going through a ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE tag ending a couple times. I always thought PITNOL was a snippet free song. Bono seems to really be running the show when it's full band and he requests do-overs on certain parts. You can't make out what he's saying but you know it's him. I was under the impression that Edge was doing lots of the heavy lifting since Popmart when Bono was having back/voice issues or was more interesting in charity than music.
I've only heard a 6 hour window when they play, but after Pride I chatted with another fan for a couple hours and then went home. Crew have been busy for 10 days so maybe some got the weekend off and maybe some band members left the city for a couple days. Speculation on my part and not fact. LA is only 3 hours away for Edge in the same time zone, NYC is outta reach for a weekend trip.
Elevation was confirmed when I talked to another fan. Yawn, but add it to the running list.
Invisible has the same lighting effect as the video and Larry has the same standing drum.
The source of the youtube videos was pointed out to me. Their secret is safe with me.
They move to Rogers Arena after Neil Diamond on May 7th. RA has one of the highest ceilings of so crews like testing stuff here. The Coliseum is lower which may mess up the screen testing a little bit.
Apparently there been some Bono sightings downtown in the early afternoon. Think Gastown/Yaletown. They have a mansion but also stay downtown at a hotel with a private garage. Not sure which band member, but they have a TESLA car at their disposal/curiosity that looks pricey - wonder if it's Edge the gadget freak or Larry the car/bike freak.
I did get a spoiler 10 times bigger than Electric Co. that NOBODY predicted.....
touring string section(4-6 players) spotted leaving the building with their portable instrument cases that are presumably not pool cues or travelling card game kits. I'd bet on them doing the whole tour as they wouldn't get local pickup players 3 weeks before the show here. Only been heard on 1-2 songs so far so I'd only think to hear it for 3-4 songs during a show as it could really enhance something like EBW or WOWY
yeah I'd welcome Real Thing again, definitely! I can understand people wanting to see them give Mysterious Ways a break (i always love hearing it live, personally) but Real Thing is hardly a song that's been flogged to death every gig since it's release.
It disappeared for 10 years then came back for only 2 legs of 360, with a new arrangement too, which breathed new life into it and made it an amazing opening song! The same can't be said for incredible songs like WOWY/One/Pride etc which remain unchanged and as a result just become more and more sluggish with every tour.
keep coming back to listen to this at the moment. If they do keep dragging back the classics they probably feel they can't leave out because of the more casual fans, I really hope they eventually start shaking them up a bit. Some people hate this version I know but at least they tried it!! I think it sounds beautiful fading in from Velvet Dress like that.

Yeah, I'm not surprised. I was sort of hoping that it wouldn't happen.Although the spoiler has been predicted a lot, and perhaps even expected at this point.
