U2 rehearsals in Torino part V: Full aug 2 update + aug 3 as it happens

[theedgeu2]

You gotta admit, the humping brownies WERE sorta funny.

^ yes! That was was funny!

 

[Axver]

Ax, I noticed a little issue in phrasing at the end of the summary you posted:

but instead it's Love And Peace Or Else, a song even played this tour. Curious.

There is no missing word in the article now. Curious.

THE CLAW! Purple lights!!!! 12:26am Italy time...

 

[trojanchick99]

So I was trying to remain spoiler free last year, was there ever a full dress rehearsal in Barcelona?

Light tests? It's past curfew...or they're completing ignoring it.

Case in point.

Too much of a good thing. Brownie overkill. Beaten over my head with a plate of brownies. Beating a dead brownie with a stick.

Chill out. Have some brownies.

 

[theedgeu2]

Did they rehearse HMTM again today? Is there video of it if so?

I'm thinking lighting tests...but you never know.

I must have been eating too many brownies. Sorry!

Blasting past curfew is a U2 tradition.

They rehearsed it TWICE today. It appears it will replace UV in the 2nd Encore. Not sure if there is video yet.

Indeed there was: U2 Barcelona, 2009-06-29, Camp Nou, 360° Tour - U2 on tour

Setlist on opening night was identical to that.

At 12:26am!?

Scroll down to the second-last video for video (albeit not a long one): Turin rehearsals, Tuesday 03/08 - U2gigs.com

Thanks!

So we should be expecting a full dress on Thursday. Good to know.

Curfew is merely a suggestion.

I wouldn't expect it necessarily... at least, certainly not a public one. They had announced it to the media about a week in advance in Barcelona.

Thanks Axver!

Really thrilled they're giving this a shot!

I doubt a public one, but a substantial private rehearsal on Thursday night seems a good possibility. Look at Vertigo's fifth leg - there was a full private rehearsal before opening night in Brisbane. Well, it would've been full but they cut a few songs from the middle of the set when a thunderstorm struck. God, I got fucking soaked that night (a crowd of us were watching from the hill behind the stadium).

I'm wondering if tomorrow will be a night off. U2 rehearse every night from Sunday to Thursday, then play a gig on Friday?

 

[trojanchick99]

Guess what I'm eating right now?

Damn you people.

chocolatyyyyyyyy mmmmmmmm. soooo hungry

Nice!

 

[daygloeyes2]

As sad as I'd be to se UV go, HMTMKMKM replacing it makes me quite happy. I'd hate to have to pick, but if I had to choose, I'm picking Batman.

 

[ClaytonsKitten]

Guess what I'm eating right now?

Damn you people.

I'm actually making some for Friday.
(Not special though. I don't roll that way unless it's fake special. )

 

[theedgeu2]

So whaddya wanna talk about...besides brownies?

u2

 

[romi]

U2

 

[theedgeu2]

Does anyone, besides me, want to see them play TTTYATW again?

 

[dstalksalot]

This may be a dumb question, but is it possible they may not be using the wheel Mic and jacket at all? No Ultra V ???? The glowing jacket and lights were ment for that song...perhapsps it is a back safety issue and they are working up another encore all together...

Well in one of the countdown videos they were shown unpacking the mic, so I'm guessing they are using it with HMTMKMKM?
