Truly sounds like it was an amazing show! Love the setlist! Maybe I've missed it somewhere, but was the GA lineup / admission process any better for the second show?
I'll e-mail it to you this week. I plan to be on the computer a lot this week--a lot of blogging to do, a lot of reliving of the concert too. But not tonight--tonight's its all about sleep. I still have to drive home from work this afternoon--another hour and a half on the road before I can collapse into bed. Pray I make it home safe!
That's pretty shitty that those guys did that. At one point, around our area people were moving forward so it left a big hole and the people that were roped off on the other side had to deal with people cutting. We were towards the restrooms and this older couple just entered the line. One guy was so mad that he started yelling at them. The woman was like whatever, rolled her eyes and didn't think it was a big deal. He tried to get security to kick them out but it didn't happen. At least afterwards they kept people from going in anymore.
I feel like how the disciples feel after meeting with Jesus, wanted to run out and tell everyone what they saw and heard. OK maybe that is a bit much/blasphemous, but that's the euphoria I get after a great show, I'm still on Cloud 9 and don't understand why everyone else isn't running off to get in the next GA line!!!
YouTube - u2 chicago2 city of blinding lightsI'm sure there will be videos soon.
anybody on edges side let me know i want to see some pics. i didnt take any last night.
btw GA-fucking ridiculous
i was number 55 and people were pushing and i was tripped a number of times by some assholes who cut line. long story, dont want to bitch. but look out for yourselves everybody.
Re: the camera talk. It's funny - I feel the same away about the cameras at shows, and yet I brought mine to take a couple.
I definitely ended up taking more than I had planned on, so found myself getting more caught up in that than I wanted to, so maybe next time I'll just leave it behind (har har).
I still felt like I had a hell of a time both nights (particularly the second night, where I was spazzing out like an insane-o in the back of the floor), so I still got to "live" it and not just take a bazillion bad pictures.
I'm more irritated by people who sit there and fiddle with their phones like the two women in front of me Saturday night. They sat there on Facebook and checking email through half the show, and the other half had their heads together yelling into each other's ears and blocking my view.
Obviously, this is the way concerts are now - we text our other U2 fan friends and twitter the setlists - that doesn't bug me (and I did my share of it Sunday night), but why go to a concert and then browse the internet or spend 5 minutes trying to find that iPhone app that's just a picture of a goddamn lit lighter?
thanks chuck.
Well, maybe the people that had those cameras out, and shot the whole concert in HD, so you can download it later.
Or how many of you complaining have watched the YouTube clips?
thanks chuck. tps can i see the rest of your pics? fbook?
yeahhh that pissed me off. every single person in front of me had their cameras out the WHOLE time. during every single song, every single second. i could barely enjoy the show with cameras in my way. like seriously. take some pics put it away and repeat.
I know I would love to line up all day or spend exorbitant amounts of money on seats and see the show through a camera lense.It's the people that stand there the whole show with their camera up that boggles the mind.

But they're taping the show so YOU can watch it later on your computer screen!!!
