Also, I really need to pick up the POP vinyl reissue, it sounds so frigging good.

Do You Feel Loved is such a hot song.

 

[DaveC]

fuck yeah do you feel loved is awesome. the fuzzy atonal guitar riff is one of my favourite parts of that whole album.

 

[martha]

Agree with both of the above. Love that song.

Wish that band had stayed together and made more music.

 

[corianderstem]

Okay, the ticklings of concert excitement are springing.

Also, I'm thrilled I got an Air BnB only a half mile from the arena.

And I will FINALLY plan ahead and have snacks for after I get back to my room. I am always absolutely starving after a U2 show.

All the activity, and I'm usually keeping some anxiety at bay all day, so my eating schedule is always fucked up on a Big Concert day.

Thank fuck Martha had pretzels in her car after San Diego last year.

Ya know, they have restaurants that are open past 11 now.

 

[corianderstem]

I don't have the energy at 11:00 to stay out another few hours.

 

[corianderstem]

I have an urge to change my avatar. Hmmm.

 

[iron yuppie]

Louise Belcher next.

 

[corianderstem]

I would go with Gene first. I like Louise, but I hate Kristen Schaal's voice. Bob's Burgers is the only thing I can tolerate it in.

I very nearly made a last minute Tulsa purchase, but the idea of calling out of work with no notice, driving for 4-5 hours through a thunderstorm first thing tomorrow, seeing the concert, and then immediately driving back through the night thunderstorm for 4-5 hours reminded me of how old I am. Couldn't do it.

Good to see you Mofo!

I've been checking for possible Vegas U2 tickets but that's what I would be facing too if I went to a Vegas show, driving 5 hours each way by myself. All of my U2 friends live out of state now.

I drove to Phoenix for I+E in 2015 and I'm not sure I'm up for it again, especially going alone, and especially now that the setlists aren't sounding too promising.

Still, I had to miss JT30 and who knows if this will be the last tour....

 

[martha]

Get out the rocking chairs and sensible shoes.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

The Tulsa World has a cool article today about the last time U2 played there...in 1983! (I would link but I’m on my phone.) The article is on the front page and takes a fun trip down nostalgia lane.

I’ll be driving to Vegas next weekend, but i think 5 hours on a weekend is doable. If I can share something personal...

Spoiler

My best friend was planning to go with me, but she is needing a double mastectomy and reconstruction, and we aren’t sure when her surgery/surgeries will be. She is only 29. It is not full-blown cancer yet, but it is very close. We have been to a couple of U2 shows together. Hoping we can make it to this Vegas show before her surgery and her move back to the east coast this summer.

Also, Do You Feel Loved fucking slaps.

 

[corianderstem]

I'm sorry about your friend, that's really rough. Hope she can make it to the show with you.





Also, "fucking slaps" is my new favorite expression.

 

[Hewson]

Best wishes to your friend HG
Hope she makes the show but more importantly hope everything else works out

 

[martha]

Love to your friend, my friend.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Indeed.

 

[LemonMelon]

Best wishes to your friend, HG. Hope this tour can bring her some joy.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I hope they're playing Reg Flag Day on this tour.

 

[LemonMelon]

This setlist so far is just

Spoiler

Vertigo tour with SOE songs thrown in

 

[cobl04]

Fuck, that's horrible HG

 

[gump]

All the best to your friend, HG.

 

[gump]

Holy shit guys.

 

[cobl04]

I can hardly believe it, but there it is. U2 playing fucking Acrobat. After all these years. Wow.

 

[martha]

Do you KNOW how to use the fucking spoiler tags?

 

[gump]

Friggin

 

[Hewson]

If they drop it before they get to Boston, I'm gonna be very Larry.

 

[gump]

It sounded really good.
