The Official "No Peeking" Support Group thread

[Princey]

Im planning on going cold turkey til my gigs this time round. Last time i was able to predict the setlist for the show at Cardiff before Id even seen it so it kinda took something away from the show. Of course it helps theres only a few shows into the tour this time round before i see the band

Maybe the Mods could find a better place than the tour "Set List" thread section for those that don't want to know anything ahead of time.

Maybe like a 360 Tour Ostrich (head in sand) Section.

I've been debating this same issue with my wife. My other thought is this, won't this make some superfans feel like a "newbie."

 

[rwolins1]

Get Out Now!

Any day there could be some thread saying "U2 Rehearses Acrobat in Vancouver"

 

[believer75]

I don't want to peak, and I don't want anything to be spoiled before I see them, but I doubt I can make it....I held out for No Line, but it'll be tough not to read any reviews, setlists, etc.....I am going to try this time, though.
It was easy for Elevation because I think they played ATL as third show, so it was all new then

 

[cleazer]

Last tour I had a blast following the nightly 1000-post concert threads. I look forward to doing the same thing this year. Even if they play the exact same set on every night.

 

[bonoishot]

I'll never hold out.

Did want to wish those trying to hold out good luck though.

 

[God Part III]

My first concert is Nice on the 15th (or is it 16th?) of July.

I can wait for 16 days, so yes, I support this group and I will not be peeking or anything.

But if they do play Lemon, tell me anyway.

 

[adypole]

I'm holding out. I meen it this time. because it will REALLY fuck up the tension of sitting there and not knowing....a thing.

and if I sign on between barcelona and wembley, I would like Sicy to shoot me.

Or ban me.


now thats holding back folks!

if it took a voluntary temporary banning to not find out a thing, i would consider it.

even then though, one of my stupid friends would tell me out of the blue one day, "Yeah, i heard they're playing the entire album".

 

[Lemonfix]

I really, REALLY would like to be surprised. My first show is Chicago (SEPTEMBER!) so that would mean I'd have to be careful about logging into Interference during the whole Summer--at least it will be nice outside and I'll have more to do.

After my first show, however, I will be all about the setlist parties!

 

[RedRocksU2]

Who am I kidding, I won't be able to hold off.

 

[mikal]

so i'm already thinking about backing out on this and making a compromise. what's killing me is the thought of not being able to listen to a bootleg while knowing it's available. so here's my compromise:

- Download a bootleg of opening night only and listen like crazy for the 2 months between opening night and Chicago.

- Do not check any setlists after opening night


i think this is the best way for me to survive. i'm sure the setlist will change quite a bit from opening night to Chicago, so i'll still have plenty of surprises.

 

[adypole]

Is a non-permanent suspension available in all seriousness?

 

[mikal]

Is a non-permanent suspension available in all seriousness?

but then what will stop you from going to U2start.com?

i think the reason why i'm giving in a little is because i could even see it spoiled for me on the Atease forum when i least expect it.

 

[Bonogirl777]

How am I gonna be able to do this?
I need this support group!!!

 

[Zoocoustic]

I actually did this for the Vertigo tour and it made the experience so much better than on Elevation where I pretty much knew exactly what they were going to do.

Now it helped that the Vertigo show was one of the first on the tour. I'm not sure if I could wait if they don't get to Seattle until 2010!

 

[dan_smee]

If I did this, I may never hear anything from this tour

 

[budvarka]

Im joining this club for sure. Guess Illl just have to avoid whole interference site for the summer though ...

 

[mirrorballman]

I would love to join this group, but I'm attending the tour opener. Somehow I feel that doesn't work out

 

[zuropa_fit]

No way. I gotta see where / when Larry comes out from behind that kit so i know where to stand. But, as someone who waited until the official release date to listen to NLOTH, I wish you the best of luck. Stay strong.

 

[Bonogirl777]

I'll look at pics, yeah. But no setlists for me.

 

[gump]

I'm glad I only have to hold out for about two weeks until the first Paris gig. No way would I be able to wait for more than a month. I'm too weak!

 

[mikal]

I'll look at pics, yeah. But no setlists for me.

 

[rwolins1]

I'll look at pics, yeah. But no setlists for me.

How are you going to manage that?

 

[Bonogirl777]

Just go into PLEBA when people post pics after they go to the show.
Also, the Tour Photos/Reviews subforum in here.

 

[the edges plec]

I want to see the setlists but don't want to look at any pics,maybe we should have separate threads for each

 

[digitize]

I'm not going to even try it. I'll be in the setlist parties, contributing to the simultaneous and instantaneous crashes of U2Torrents, U2Start, and Traders' Den, and listening in to anything live (please?) that we might get.

 

[waynetravis]

I'm going to try . I want to be suprised when I see the staging and setlist

 

[KristenCaNaDiAn]

I'm just gonna find out the show opener. I'm dying to know that. Then I'm gonna try really hard to avoid knowing the full setlist
