Dream U2 gig location.

[gman]

If you could see u2 play live ANYWHERE in the world except a) Ireland and b) yer own country............where would you like to see em play? If yer feeling adventurous, can throw in a location too.

Ad love to see em play in US, probabaly somewhere like Arizona or somewhere else desserty. Just to add ambience to the outing.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

already seen it...

 

[fandangamoq]

I heard that that new Live Earth (or whatever it's called) concert is doing something in Antarctica...maybe U2 should go play for the penguins (and me)?

If money wasn't really an issue? I'd see them down-under, Australia or New Zealand.

Glasgow Barrowlands. I was too young when they played there in 84.

 

[gman]

I was there in 84 Celticfc. I was 14 and remember nothing other than being there sadly! And then to make it worse, Axver says one of the best ever gigs!! Am suspicious tho .....are you in Scotland?

The Hollywood Bowl

 

[Bono's Doll]

Univ of Tenn Neyland Stadium-holds over 100,000! Mr McGuinness if you listening--great place for the boys to play.

The Moon

Well, following the rules as indicated on the initial post (no Ireland or your own country)

I would probably pick the Netherlands. They always seem to play solid shows there and that is my heritage. So it would be cool to visit there and see U2 play.

 

[craigp]

ok it maybe cos i live in england but i wud love to see them play the new wembley

 

[Zooropa man]

The Hollywood Bowl

Yeah, good choice. Getting out of there would hell!!!

But I thought about that too. Good venue.

 

[wtonis]

Hattem, a small village 5 miles from where I live. U2 played there in 1982 in front of a few hundred people........ Unfortunately I was too young to attend back then

[dietcokeofevil]

Wrigley Field in Chicago. Outdoor old school baseball stadium for outdoor sound/ field. Small stadium that guaruntees decent seats for everyone in the house

Popmart in Wrigley Field

 

[dmalezi]

already seen it as well...in my own country but an 11 hour plane ride for me...HONOLULU


If I could go back in time I would have been at Red Rocks for the War tour!

 

[LyricalDrug]

Anywhere in South America. U2 fans there are as raucous as they come.

 

[u2thewho]

Champs de Mars, though if I can stay in the US, Millennium Park in Chicago.

under the atlantic ocean and the mariana trench!

 

[Lila64]

My backyard!

Or a small club where I'd have easy access to getting in.
Hollywood Bowl was a good one, but so hard to get decent seats there

 

[dietcokeofevil]

Do a gig in one of those ancient Greek amphitheaters, to contrast the light and sound show

 

[Axver]

Why are so many people here incapable of thinking of venues outside their own country despite the poster stating Ireland and one's own country are out?

I'm taking "your country" to mean where I live now, which is Australia. So I would most like to see U2 set up some temporary stands in Weka Park, Raumati Beach, New Zealand and rock the place out. With support from great Kiwi bands like The Chills, a reformed Straitjacket Fits, and Split Enz. I'd fly across the Tasman in a heartbeat for that.

But if New Zealand is out as it's more truly "my country" despite being across the ocean from where I live, then I'd pick Reykjavik, Iceland. Just because that'd be an awesome place to go.
