Updates from Germany

[ramblin rose]

Looks like the GA line started early today. There are some updates on u2log.

They're saying OOTS, WGRYWH & WOWY were heard during soundcheck.

Can't wait until later. Hopefully it will be a fun day with limited moaning.

So this stadium has a roof? That should make the whole show dark I assume.

I hope everyone takes their PITNOL

 

[ramblin rose]

On u2tour.de they're reporting that All I Want is You and Crumbs were also heard during soundcheck.

btw, how far ahead should people use these suppositories before the show starts so that its effective?

Mmm shouldnt it say 1,2,3,14 on the screen?

 

[djerdap]

C'mon Crumbs!
Go Crumbs!
CRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMBS!

Wouldn't it be great if U2 played in Gelsenkirchen today track 8 from their new album, called Crumbs From Your Table?

what is the link for the webcam? if you prefer you can email it so everyone doesnt see sami0201@hotmail.com

 

[bono_man2002]

Crumbs is coming, I think it will be either in tonight, or in the UK.

Linkage for the webcam please?!

 

[ramblin rose]

Here's another webcam picture, do you think they opened the doors already?

edited to say: I haven't found where the webcam link is, I got the picture from the u2tour.de forum.

 

[sami0201]

I just hope they play Crumbs at Live 8

 

[liverpool u2 fan]

As in Brussles there is a seperate GA section at the front. Is this how tickets were sold in Germany too?

 

[sami0201]

what is the time difference from the eastern coast of the US to Germany?

 

[ramblin rose]

It's 3:54PM there now. So it looks like 6 hours from EDT and 7 from CDT.

 

[sami0201]

I found the webcam link but it must not be live, it's an empty stadium. It's from the official site of the stadium though I wonder how they are getting the pictures...

 

[bono_man2002]

found the webcam, but its not up to date.....no stage...nothing.

 

[sami0201]

thanks ramblin rose But it looks like I'm gonna have to miss the setlist party today Maybe I'll make it for the very end

 

[sami0201]

same here I guess they have a secret link they aren't telling us about (I mean the people at u2tours, not you guys!)

 

[bono_man2002]

Heres why!

Wegen des U2-Konzerts is die Kamera derzeit abgeschaltet

Which means

Because Of The U2 Concerts, the camera at present is switched off.

But how did the others get it?

 

[sami0201]

But how did the others get it?

that's what I'm wondering?

 

[Rono]

Crumbs so there is still hope for me to hear it later on the tour

Isnt that just an image file?, not a webcam, ends in .jpg....thats all.....

 

[kellyahern]

thank you Kelly

Do you get the picture with the audience in it?

 

[KEVIN051269]

Seem to remember Gorman(?) doing something similar to the San Diego webcam. The arena cam isn't switched off just the 'front door' is locked.Probably wise if nobody reveals how to do it as i think we lost the SD link coz too many people got on it

Yeah, I'm not sure how to make it work right. The link is from this page http://forum.interference.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=2523708#post2523708

 

[sami0201]

oh well...guess we will just have to depend on the websites for updating us!

 

[Boozyuzi]

Do you think they will use that big screen ??

Is the roof shut - doesn't look it??

 

[ramblin rose]

They used it in Brussels. But the roof does look open. Maybe they'll close it when the show starts.

i think they will try something with the scoreboard, who knows?

the sound is going to be amazing in that stadium, if i remember correctly its only about 2-3 years old

 

[KUEFC09U2]

it takes about an hour to close the roof, so if it isnt closed now i doubt they will close it at all
