If I had known you I would of been one of those screaming girls who would tried to get that tshirt from ya...

I distinctly recall screaming alot at that show I was at.. Was pretty hoarse the next day...

First cassette I ever bought was Seven and the Ragged Tiger... I still have it, altough completely unlistenable for the tape has completely stretched out...

Well that and I don't have a cassette player anymore...

My best friend got us tickets to the Vancouver show in the pre-sale today!

Never got a chance to see them back in the day, but I'm looking forward to catching them this time around!

U2Fanatic4ever · 03-14-2008, 07:46 AM

it's odd.. why aren't the dates after 5/21 listed on ticketmaster? I thought the general sale for at least the Columbia, MD show which is on 5/27 would be listed by now.

And I think it was more recent than '03.

It was March '05 (I know b/c I was there).

And it was a FANTASTIC, GREAT SHOW!

That was my 3rd DD concert, my 1st being in 1986 on the "Nortorious" tour (which was my 2nd concert overall. I would've been about 11 or 12 years old.

). They're really great live.

I don't know if I'm going to make it to any of these current dates, but that gig at The Joint in '05 was off the f***n' hook!!!!

**KhanadaRhodes** · 03-14-2008, 06:55 PM

ugh, i can't go see them this tour. my mom, who's almost as much of a fan as me, is having surgery right when they'll be coming to our area. and the cities they'll be coming to around us all require flying, so yeah.

i'm optimistic though, with astronaut they came back a second time and toured the states. i'm sure they'll do that again this time. although it's a bummer because with astronaut i got to see them three times (once on the first leg, twice on the third leg). oh well

i just found out my mom rescheduled her surgery for the next week so we're going to the atlanta concert

the presale is tomorrow morning, so i'm gonna get up early and purchase the tickets

U2Fanatic4ever · 03-21-2008, 09:10 AM

WOOO HOOO!!! GOT TIX!

Not bad seats either..

Just wasn't gonna pay 125 bucks to get that close but these are right there.. Small venue so it should be all good.

beegee · 03-21-2008, 10:31 AM

Tickets are still available on Ticketmaster for the Las Vegas show but it's a little ridiculous that they're over a hundred dollars each.

U2Fanatic4ever · 03-21-2008, 10:39 AM

it is ridiculous but not so much for Vegas.. Overpriced everything over there.. But here in Columbia, MD...125 dollars for a ticket?? now that is just stupid...

I got 2nd row loge on the right side which is right behind the first sections in front of the stage.. mind you a not big venue for 75 dollars.. That was my limit..

I've never paid that much for a show here, especially at The Joint.

Not even close.

beegee · 03-21-2008, 12:42 PM

Actually, now that I think about it, the only show I've ever paid that much for in Vegas was the last time I saw Duran Duran here
