God no. I would be ok sitting through Vertigo x 18 as long as I got WOWY and Streets. Not all of us on here have seen U2 yet y'know
If they are going to play wowy Bono needs to sing it with some passion.

Spanish Eyes has always felt unfinished to me and it's one of Bono's worst vocals of the period.
But I feel weird bashing the song when it's honestly the direction I'd like to see U2 go at this stage in their career. It's disappointing that so little TUF/JT material is in the mix this time, as Nick has mentioned on a number of occasions.
I thought you of all people would be all over Spanish Eyes for that wonderful guitar. It has fit perfectly in numerous jangle pop playlists of mine. It may not be pure jangle but it complements a lot of stuff.
Maybe something special will pop up at San Jose like it has before (Kite, OOTS)
I thought the entire band would be returning to Dublin for the funeral. When would the funeral be then?
WHY ARE THEY PLAYlNG HANDS THAT BUILT AMERICA.

Yeah, I don't know. Did they lose a bet?
Nope. I think they stopped.Has anybody seen anything about rehearsals since Iris?
Nope. I think they stopped.
It's possible this was an early rehearsal with the dress rehearsal to follow after a dinner break. I'm still surprised rehearsals are even happening, though.
Suppose this is an opportune moment to duck out for lunch here!
I wonder how they are rehearsing, since Larry would have to be on his way by now.
There were news articles out of Ireland earlier today that said the entire band was going over for the funeral and returning thursday before the show. It's a 10 hour flight I believe so you got me on this one.
Dublin is 8 hours ahead of Vancouver. It takes 12 hours to fly from Dublin to Vancouver.
If the band were to leave at 8am Thursday morning Dublin, they would arrive at 4pm Vancouver time. I assume little naps can be taken on the plane. Take a few hours to eat dinner, relax a little bit, then go onstage and perform for 2.5 hours, then back to the hotel to PASS THE FUCK OUT!
I suppose it can be done, I'm just glad I don't have to do that!

I heard it was 10 hours - remembering it would be direct in a private jet

Oh yeah! I just googled flight time Vancouver to Dublin, but I'm sure that doesn't figure the private jet, direct flight option! It's doable, I'm just surprised they didn't cancel tonight's rehearsal and just go ahead and head to Dublin today. They're really gonna have a clusterfuck of a few days, starting today and ending Friday after the 2nd show!

Pfft.. I've been camping outside Rod Laver Arena since December 2010.. amateurs7 stadium shows in Melbs after 7 arena shows on Lovetown alone, time for arenas again
I think they are really trying to keep their commitments - the private jet won't exactly be slumming it - they will be comfortable, and they would be pretty experienced flyers.
