Very much hoping for this.

When do BDO tickets go on sale? I've never been, and I've never intended to, but Muse...

October........7th? the BDO website usually as a midnight sale the night/morning before the general public on ticketmaster.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I hope you are right.....

Hope so too. Watching the @U2 twitter updates, busted LED panel apparently, crew fixing it.

 

[major_panic]

Bono's rambling on about some spaceship... and now Boots. Heh.

 

[Irishteen]

My dream U2 concert still starts off with some crappy pop music being played on the soundsystem and Bono walking out on stage and screaming "SHUT UP this is music!" as Edge explodes into The Fly

 

[bono_man2002]

It's still the BDO, which is automatic fail. You couldn't pay me to go.

But yeah, I'm banking on some sideshows. Muse are too popular not to do some.

Rage did side shows when they headlined, Neil Young did a side show last year, I'm pretty sure Tool did a sideshow as well, but who fucking cares.

Oh go on, you know you want to. I wouldn't normally go either, but for Muse...

Rockin' teh Boots nao.

I hope pixelated bono is okay

You have echoed my dreams.

 

[Axver]

I'm expecting an outpouring of awesomeness in this setlist.

I'm expecting an outpouring of politics in this setlist, given it's DC.

 

[Axver]

Like hell. Normal concerts are bad enough. I'm not doing some nasty festival.

He's stuck in TechnicalLand, poor guy.

When U2 go to Denmark next year I sure hope the Claw will be made out of millions upon millions of lego blocks.

Yours is far more likely than mine, which involves a spinning drum riser coming out of the floor, Edge standing at the complete other side of the stadium and walking towards the stage whilst playing, Bono being wire-flown on stage and Adam just turning up.

Ohh, Mysterious Ways.

 

[bono_man2002]

I love the BDO. Yeah sometimes there is a lot shitty bands, but usually worth going to just for the day itself. next year will be my 4th in a row, and have always found at least one new band to enjoy.

My first BDO was probably my fav. but 2008 with Rage headlining, I went and watched Sara Blasko instead. Could not get near Rage.

You have a distinct advantage: THE CANE OF DOOM!

You could totally milk that to get backstage or something.

Why so nasty?

 

[Irishteen]

I had a spot in the pit at Oxegen for Rage and left for fear of my safety

 

[Vlad n U 2]

Mysterious Ways hits the amps!

Don't get me wrong, I love a lot of RATM songs, but I didn't care enough to see them, that badly.

 

[Vlad n U 2]

U2s stage blue screened, according to @U2.

 

[RavenBlue]

I was very pleased with the setlist we got, really a bit of a dream setlist. Now if they could just bring out Mofo in full

 

[Vlad n U 2]

I can imagine the excitement here if Mofo hits the speakers!

 

[Axver]

God Bono, stop fucking rambling.

 

[major_panic]

Bono's introducing the band... calling them the 'Republic of U2' or something ridiculous.

I hope everything dies, speakers, screens everything. So they can just play the whole pop album acoustic. followed by an encore with Vertigo on Banjo.

 

[bono_man2002]

how's the audio source?

 

[Axver]

Why so nasty?

Concerts are bad enough when they're larger than club/theatre level, too much fluffing about for too little music. Festivals take that to an extreme. Why would I pay to see bands I like do abbreviated hits setlists for audiences that aren't their own when I could go see them play a proper show instead?

 

[Vlad n U 2]

To anyone listening to the concert, did MW have its solo?

Fair enough. Then why do you go and see u2 *boomtish*

JUST KIDDING. CAUSE CAPSLOCK IS FUN!

Apparently Larry wrote U2's constitution and is the Secretary of Defence.

Fuck, U2 gigs in DC are the worst.
