Pfan, tell me you are going to the PA show.

 

[phanan]

It's in the summer for him, so great timing too.

 

[u2popmofo]

Why have I never called him PeeFan(ny)

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Pfan, tell me you are going to the PA show.

He'd better be.

I'm glad they're coming back in June next year - I'll be finished with school and will have my half marathon behind me by then. Perfect timing.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Why have I never called him PeeFan(ny)

Because you're retarted retarded.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Because you're retarted retarded.

no, he's from Utah, but I can see why you would make that mistake

lol, it actually refers to a fb thing... Plus yeah, that too!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I'm kind of perplexed as to why YBR was not recorded for teh DVD I am at least hoping they recorded a version for an easter egg or something...

 

[phanan]

Definitely a missed opportunity not to play it last night. Here's hoping you're right and it's a bonus.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I don't get it, I mean yeah, it's a total cock-block for a rock concert but still…

 

[u2popmofo]

That and what they replaced it with sounded pretty weak.

Seriously though, it'll be a pretty mediocre show to release as a DVD/Blu-Ray in my opinion. Sorta don't think I'd buy it.

 

[phanan]

It actually would've been perfect for the whole space theme.

 

[Irvine511]

i'll be in Philly. hopefully twice.

I'd have to see first how it's edited. If more of the claw is shown, I'd consider it based on that alone. I don't need so many closeups of the band at this point. The claw is the main event here.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

bad U2 fan

I'll buy it no doubt but I'm sure the inevitable European/South American DVD they will film on one of the later legs will probably be better...

 

[LMP]

You all should go to Miami. I'm going to really try to get tickets to that one.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

the funny thing is, I like IALW, a lot, but this is YBR we're talking about here... COME ON!

Denver on a Sunday night. I'm so there.

I thoroughly enjoyed the webcast. Too bad Bono's vocals were so weak. He didn't sound so good in Vegas either but you don't notice it as much when you're there.

In a Little While is a sweet song but agree with everyone that it should have been YBR for the DVD. I mean, really, what were they thinking? Just because there's a rocket ship reference?

Woke up to snow in Santa Fe this morning.

There's an added novelty to it, plus it at least exposes people to a different part of their catalog.

5 songs from an album that came out 8 years ago that doesn't transfer all too well to a stadium setting seems a little strange. No problems with "Beautiful Day" or "Walk On," I don't like "Elevation" but it's a crowd pleaser, and "Stuck" and "In a Little While" seemed woefully misplaced on paper and from the webcast.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Yes, but Denver is a bunch of filthy hippies.

Uh...I'm assuming you've never been to Denver, have you?

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

You all should go to Miami. I'm going to really try to get tickets to that one.

Miami's also a possibility.

My only two definites are the MI show and Montreal. Temptation is strong for the TO presale tomorrow, though...

yeah, i thought this too. but i thought he got better when they played NLOTH. i noticed someone gave him a different mic during BD -- could it have had pitch correction or whatever? he seemed, what's that word, pitchy?

but his energy was great. the show seemed great overall, and i finally got to see UC, and UTEOTW works way better than NYD.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

come to TO April.

When his vocals are weak he seems to get more physical to make up for it.

Interesting that UTEOTW works better than NYD. I'm still disappointed I didn't get to hear NYD after 3 shows but UTEOTW punches my ticket 100% of the time.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

come to TO April.

Can I crash on your couch with your 5 cats?

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

lol, we'll probably have like 6 or 7 by then

UTEOTW is great, but I've always enjoyed hearing NYD, which I got at my show. Unlike PITNOL, it's one that I won't tire of.

Why did I think that Montreal was a simple drive from Detroit? I just looked at the train and it's like 11 hours.
