[DublinGuy]

15. 13 in Europe, 8 of which were in Britain and Ireland, and two in the US. 11/10 in NY and 17/10 in Philly when the Boss joined them on stage. The ones in Italy, Dublin and the NY were the best. Milan crowds are defo the best I've seen though. London, Cardiff and Rome fans weren't so enthusiastic from what I saw.

 

[BonosLil'Pal94]

3 for me- 2 of which will be the best concerts of my life

LA 1 in November, LA 2 in November (front row in ellipse on Adam's side), Honolulu

 

[Bonochick]

Anyone who has seen them plus 10 has a serious problem... Yeah, they are my favorite band and what not but c'mon.... that is psycho!!!

 

[two shots]

First Leg:
Boston 28/5: Side view ticket, high up, great concert

Second Leg
Cardiff - front view seat on the first tier. A little too distant and a speaker obstructing Larry

Third leg
Boston 4/12 - GA! And What a show to have GA. Outside Ellipse, front row, Edges Side.
Boston 5/12
Waited for the last minute when the scalper prices started to fall. Got behind the stage seats (what I wanted), and this also was great!

4 shows, two stages, and 4 different perspectives. What more do you want?

53 shows in NAmerica!!

I attended 53 (maybe 54) shows in North America on leg 1 and leg 2 including the rehersal in LA. I also recorded (high quality) about 40 shows from the floor. I had a plane ticket to Oz and Nz, and planned to record those shows. However, after the cancellation in spring of 2006 I couldn't get excited to go back. Of course, that might of had something to do with how much better the entire Radiohead NA tour (19 shows) was in comparison.

At times the tour was a great struggle financially and mentally. I wanted to do this tour becuase it was supposed to be the biggest grossing tour in rock history. I have a renewed respect for U2 as a band. Only once or twice did i feel Bono was going through the motions (miami was one of those). However, Bono's repetitiveness was annoying. Especially how he claimed "today is pavarotti's birthday" for about 15 straight shows. That's just wrong.

The best show was the Vegas show w/ Brandon Flowers. Also, the Texas show where the fan played excellent guitar. I attended every MSG show, and they all rocked. Patti Smith!! I was able to spend a lot of time at my fav NY bar, the Molly Wee.

The best part was making a new good friend. Mark from the Jackson Hole Air Force. We went to about 40 shows together, and tore shit up.

oh yeah, Arcade Fire in canada rocked!!

No it isn't. Most people only heard him say it once, twice at the most. People who attend that many shows really can't complain about repetitiveness.

But it wasn't pavarotti's birthday. You can't claim it someone's birthday a month after it's past. People might equate that show with his birthday, etc, etc. it's just disinformation. he could have referenced pavarotti some other way. why not just say, "i recorded this song with pavarotti."

Ok. That's a good point. That would be annoying.
