Oh and the solo in 'The Space Between All Things' went..

oh..

lets say..

about ten minutes? 5 of which was Allan going at it, with Rod on rythym, before roles reversed for the last 5.

Edit - I'll add Gavin also had a hand, with a bit of a Bass solo.

 

[u2popmofo]

Ok, that would have been a freaking awesome show. Consider me insanely jealous. I Wanna Be Sedated? Nice.

PS - I noticed they seemd to stick to the rockers from the new album also......

 

[HeartlandGirl]

I don't know all the songs from the new album, but that setlist looks pretty dang nice.

they did that when I saw them in Aberdeen 'bout a month ago. Was a great gig, and we met Colin(the drummer) in the shopping centre beforehand when I was meeting my sis after her work. The place was deserted, so we said hello, and he started showing us what he'd just bought his mum for her b'day. lovely bloke.

from the idlewild website:

Idlewild to support U2 on UK Tour!

(sorry if this was on the main page of interference and i missed it) but i for one would have a fun night if i saw idlewild open for u2.

 

[zonelistener]

WOW....Throw the Frames in their for you...and it might be????

Yeah, it was on the main page. I also added negative comments comparing the large amount of fantastic openers for the Europe shows to the US "opener".

Anyways, I'd kill to see Idlewild in the first place. Idlewild with U2? What's worse than killing? I'd do it.

 

[Palace_Hero]

I am devastated.

 

[jkayet]

Megan and I are seeing the London show the night BEFORE that one. Awful. We get Doves (yay!) but would rather have Idlewild for sure... ah, well! Starsailor are playing some opening dates as well...

I was thinking the same thing. If I had money I would get a flight and a ticket.

Wow. I endured Kings of Leon 4 times. Idlewild, Doves, Starsailor...I can't bear it.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

"Endured" is a nice way to put it.

There isn't one European opening act I wouldn't have rather seen in place of Kings of Leon. Actually, there isn't one that I wouldn't pay money to see by themselves, let alone opening for U2.

 

[DiGi]

Looks like tour dates are going to start being announced soon. Looks like fall in the US for Idlewild. This makes me very happy.

Yes, I saw that listed on a local "concert" website this last weekend. I wasnt sure if it was legit yet, because I hadnt seen any tour info anywhere! I'm REALLY hoping it's legit, I've still NEVER seen Idlewild! Honestly, I'm dying to see them.

By the way, I think 'Warnings/Promises' get's released in the States mid August!

 

[DiGi]

[u2popmofo]

Wed 09/28/05 Salt Lake City, UT Shaggy's

mofo had better be there!

 

[HeartlandGirl]

The SLC date is in the middle of the week.

 

[u2popmofo]

The SLC date is in the middle of the week.

Dont worry, I'm sure you'll get many a phone call from me during a variety of songs.


Get this though, everyone. Idlewild, Franz Ferdinand, and the Bouncing Souls are ALL playing on that same day (Wed., Sept 28) in SLC. It sucks so bad, I'd kill to see them all but I have to choose between them. Idlewild it is.

 

[DiGi]

that sucks! Idlewild and Sigur Ros are in DC on the same night.

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Nobody is here on any night!

Well, except Tori Amos in September.

 

[jkayet]

that sucks! Idlewild and Sigur Ros are in DC on the same night.

I know. No question though, really...still doesn't make me happy.

 

[yertle-the-turtle]

Guess who laid down $20 for it today?

Anyway, to be very honest, so far only 'Love Steals' grabs me by the throat, but I'm going to give this one a bit of time because I like bits and pieces of the other tunes here and there.

Dont sweat it, I almost hated it the first few times I listened to it (see some of my past comments). Somehow it's really worn on me after a few months and I'm enjoying it quite a bit now.

I like how they did a throwback on some of the rocking songs to their early noise pop-esque work.

 

[smooshcat]

It definately takes a good few listens. I was disappointed with it at first but I love it now.

 

[u2popmofo]

It was released in the US today.

 

[Bonochick]

Oh, man...I REALLY want to buy it...but I think I'm gonna have to hold off for a few weeks or so.
