Fullautoreverse: you bring the campfire and I'll bring the marshmallows and we'll set up shop in front of the ticket booth, OK?

Im sitting here waiting for you, your late Axe

I'm just trying to rent a truck to transport all our marshmallows to the ticket booth, have some patience!

 

[fullautoreverse]

[fullautoreverse]

[Axver]

Noooo!!

How will we last a few weeks now?

 

[fullautoreverse]

[Axver]

How will we survive the tension of this weekend?

The mood definitely (no pun intended) changed in this thread. Congratulations Australians, South Americans, people of Japan and whoever else may be getting U2 next year.

I was thinking though...US shows stop in December, Australia shows are rumoured for March. That is one big break. Also, you don't announce dates for March in November already right?

Axver circa September 2004 would've loved to hear Vertigo x2 too

I think we all would have liked Vertigo x 200000.
Now a lot of people dislike the song (gee I wonder why!?)

Has watched Boston 2.25 Times today!

 

[blueeyedgirl]

Just back from the pub after a celebartory drink (or three) just to make sure this thread real and not some figment of my imagination.

and no Veritigo x 2 (or x 20000000 either)

 

[Axver]

No Vertigo x1 either!

I can't wait i dont care what they play and i don't think anybody else should either ... just that they are coming is enough for me ... they can sit there and talk the songs and i'll still be in shock if i'm there

Just got the following from my friend who works at Island Records in London, after he told me the other day it was far from a done deal:

"I got it wrong mate, but you know me better than to expect an apology for that! They are touring your neck of the woods next year and it should be confirmed any day now. Are you going to stop bugging me now?!!!!"

So it would appear that all the excitement on here is justified. I've asked him for actual dates and venues although I doubt he'll pass those onto me if he thinks I'm going to broadcast it out!!

What time would the setlist parties be in the states then

 

[Axver]

What time would the setlist parties be in the states then

Early morning.

I'm too lazy to work out how daylight saving would fit in with all of this, but 9pm Australian eastern standard time is 6am US eastern standard time.

 

[one4u2]

aren't you a day ahead? is it saturday morning there now?

 

[Axver]

aren't you a day ahead? is it saturday morning there now?

We're roughly 2/3rds of a day ahead, heh. Without any daylight savings considered, the Aussie east coast is 15 hours ahead of the US east coast.

 

[bono_man]

MAYBE....seeing we didnt get Elevation down here. Maybe they'll revert back to the old intro to Streets here as we missed it last time! hehe

 

[Axver]

Can we have the formal announcement already?

(I'm kinda sick of the cynics, not that any are on this thread.)

I'm not a cynic. I'm paranoid.

 

[Shag On A Rock]

Fuck! An email from U2.com and no mention of the tour. I got excited for a minute there.

 

[bono_man]

Yeah I cant wait anymore either. I really got on the piss last night to celebrate. Mainly by myself too! But hey...it was fun! A LOT of U2 was played/watched.

 

[Shag On A Rock]

That's about it for now, except to say that we are anticipating more exciting news in the next few days. U2.Com will have it first - keep an eye on the site!

 

[bono_man]

I just email the Sunday Mail to see what they say.
