U2 to perform @ World Peace One Event.

[Axver]

Plus you could get me to crawl over broken glass for the final October -> New Year's Day performance.

Its just a shame its only the Lovetown Tour and not the brilliant Joshua Tree tour

Just for that second comment, I'd make you crawl over broken glass anyway.

And we both know any tour that does not come to New Zealand can in no way be regarded as "brilliant".

That should sort out the hangers on

Absolutely. And an even worse fate awaits any potential scalpers. They will be sent to the recycling factory to be recycled into Celine Dion CDs.

Exit + In God's Country = a bit of alright...certainly better than Love Rescue Me and When Love Comes To Town...

You're right though, not hitting up New Zealand certainly isn't brilliant. One could call it criminal, even.





Surely a worse fate for scalpers would be being recycled into Celine Dion concert-goers.

Well, personally, I thought WLCTT was good live, but yeah, Exit/IGC was a better combo. I'm surprised how little both songs actually appeared on Lovetown. An Exit --> God Part II --> IGC combo would have been mindblowing.

Nah, a concert only lasts about 2 hours. But if they're a CD, they've got to continually reproduce her whiny rubbish while some 11 year old girl wails along at the top of her lungs. I'd rather the concert!

I like When Love Comes To Town live too, but its no Exit or In God's Country. If only U2 listened to us! No matter how young we were when the tours were on.


I didn't say the scalpers would only be forced to ONE concert.

If only U2 let me write their setlists, then we wouldn't have to worry about whether they'll ever remember the second half of JT.

I didn't say the scalpers would only be forced to ONE concert.

Why don't we just take it one step further and force the scalpers to spend the rest of their lives physically attached to Celine Dion?

I've invited U2 to play at my birthday party in August. If they accept, you're all invited, too.

Chances of it happening: 1:100000000

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

Birthday cake and U2?

 

[Nate Dogg]

Do you think Autograph will accept the invite?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

jimi hendrix, frank sinatra, johnny cash & menudo have been invited to play headache-a-palooza

no one's gotten back to me yet, but i've heard ricky martin is interested. needs the work

 

[Jeannieco]

to me it does not sound like something U2 would do, so I very much doubt it.

You are kidding right? What do mean, it's too much like Live Aid?


This is exactly up their alley if you ask me. They are peace advocates big time.


Thanks for posting this article JC!

 

[Utoo]

Too many "simultaneous concerts on 'x' different countries in support of 'y' good cause" going on. Live Aid was great because it was the first. Live 8 was cool because it was the sequel. Spin-offs suck.

 

[silvrlvr]

Birthday cake and U2?

If U2 comes, it's Dom Perignon and Guiiness pour tout.

 

[IanIinTheSky]

Axver,

Is Kanye opening?

Re: Re: Re: U2 to perform @ World Peace One Event.

this lineup is waaaaaay better than the live earth, I was planning on flying to london and there wasn't one single artist that made me want to make the trip all the way over there eventhough there's some favorites of mine like damien rice and snowpatrol.

this one includes a lot of "big groups" not that most of them will perform anyway...and it's really odd that no new groups are being invited...

MAYBE in the regional acts will be more up & coming as well as well-know but not SO famous from the areas.

I too would like to see at least several newer acts, myself.

There's plenty folks i like, and a few I love- so IF i had the kind of money it'd probably take to go and pick the best of one line-up in one city-- I'd go.

OF COURSE this is IF this thing gets off the ground in the first place!

But I wish them well....... and there is competence therein for planning, staging, facilities etc!

gotta disagree with ya, Utoo. I mean, almost anything now of a certain size & esp when it's ALOT of R&R bands in the mix-- is go nna be called/considered a "spin-off" from Live Aid. Or Live 8 too!


ANd since-- wwaaayyyyy back-- i think..."the Concert For Bangladesh" {George Harrison/Dylan/ Ravi Shankar & a few others}-- WAS the first MASSIVe R&R event for a cause of a certain type of emergency/urgent situatuion this is NOT counting 2 Big & BIGGER concerts for raising money for peace groups back in the 60's/70's .

The concert for Bangaldesh was the first concert my folks let me stay out overnight to get tickets. .lol.

so you could say Live Aid was a Spin-Off of TC4B!

BTW Utoo- you sig!

Is Kanye opening?
