The Influx Chills!

Mike P · Dec 11, 2001

Does anybody else still get the chills every time they listen to the influx mix that opens all of the shows? I can still picture being in the heart...everyone around me going apeshit....screaming. Oh, and this was BEFORE they took the stage!!!!

Damn...great times.

Having a holiday-related moment of nostalgia

Good call!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love that inro that they did. And yes, I got the chills. And yes, I still get flashback chills when I play the Influx Remix. I can't think of a band that has better intros to their shows than U2 (POPMART and AB were incredible too; I love that they put those intros on the DVD).

Yes, and that's precisely why I play the Influx Mix several times a day in my car, EVERY f***ing day.

Discoteque · Dec 11, 2001

OMG. ALWAYS. EVERY TIME. Never tire of it. It brings back such awesome memories!

I even found and bought the Elevation 4-version remix CD specifically for the Influx remix, even tho I already had a boot copy of it one on another CD! (*department of redundancy department, Disco speaking*)

But here's MY question: I heard yet another version of Elevation that i just loved, which was not on the 4-remix CD, and was not the album version...good grief how many remixes do these songs merit??

the sad part: I'll never get to hear the Influx remix LOUD, proud, and rattling my ribcage in a concert hall just before U2 steps on stage ever again....will I????????

hi Pubbie!

I get chills and I have to start pogo-ing wherever I am at the time.

Is it a b-side of one of the singles?

Klodomir · Dec 11, 2001

I prefer the Reflux mix.

Hewson · Dec 11, 2001

It reminds me of being in the heart in Providence, and some crazed U2 fan to my left going absolutely nuts...oh wait that was you Mike.
How ya doin?

Damn fine, Hewson! Yourself? I was so tired after that show. I had no voice for about a week, my ear were ringing for 4 or 5 days, and I loved every minute of it! Yeah, I guess I really was going crazy. But I can't think of a better time to do it.

Right on, Mike. I finally got around to burning a CDR of ATYCLB with selected b-sides and remixes added on (so they won't take up 4 of 5 slots in my CD changer). Influx always earns a push of the REPEAT button in my car!

I absolutely love Influx...gives me the chills and takes me back to my two times in the heart.

Man, I miss them so much already!!

I definitely get the Influx chills- that song will always bring back good memories.

On the flip side, does anyone get depressed when they hear Grace? It always makes me think of the end of concerts and the sadness of knowing it's all over.

I'm doing well. That was certainly a night to remember. everyone was going a little crazy, its part of what made the heart experience so memorable.
Two words for ya for next tour: "Ear Plugs"

Are you referring to Oct 30 or Oct 31? I just love listening to "Out of Control" from Oct 30! (and of course, Bad")

Hewson · Dec 11, 2001

BostonAnne...the night in question is 10-30, I was in the heart next to Mike P, laughing at your little girls answer to Bono's what's your name question.
Was in section 122 on 10-31 for Larry's B'day festivities.
Both nights were awesome.

The 30th. My first and only Heart experience, which I am currently reliving through my headphones!
BTW, your daughter was really cute. "I love you!!" Heheh

One of the reviews on U2tours.com said

"Odd choice for a name, I thought, but then, I don't know her parents. Perhaps they're hippies

."

My daughter was actually embarrassed when she realized later what he had asked her!

sulawesigirl4 · Dec 11, 2001

Definitely get the chills when I play that mix. Makes me want to start yelling at the top of my lungs and woohoo-ing.

Another one that does it is Sgt. Pepper's. Gets me all antsy and feeling like...any minute they will be onstage!

*sigh*

I so regret not trying to see both shows! My sister and brother-in-law went to Larry's BD too and called me on her cell for the festivities and then again when "Bad" was on!
