Sorry- you're right- they didn't throw a fit. But it's my opinion that sitting down at a u2 show is crazy. i guess we don't agree on that.Oliveu2cm, these people did NOT "throw a fit". They didn't do anything crazy, violent, or obnoxious. They expressed their disappointment to the band in the only practical and peaceful way possible at a rock
concert. We should appreciate their determination to get their message across WITHOUT doing anything crazy.
If you had been 40 feet back in Providence, you wouldn't have gotten to throw Larry the Harley sign, and see Bono pick it up and give it to him! You're lucky, you got more chances.

To me, I find those fans to be taking more than their share, but I'm not bitching about it, more power to them if thats the way they want to experience their shows.I think they are the ones who are actually missing out.

To me those fans acted extremely petty and selfish by actually staging a sit-down protest. In that moment they completely lost sight of what a U2 concert is about. It's not about where you're sitting, it's not about getting some sort of justice for the time you've been waiting in line. It's about the music. It's about the connection. It's not about traveling to as many cities as possible so you can say "I was in the front row for 8 different shows!" - it's about the people who are in the nosebleeds who come away saying "that was the best show I've ever seen." Seating position is irrelevant. Music and emotion rules at U2 concerts.
Just to defend my hometown...as I recall most or all of the "Sit down' protesters were fans from out of town who had been following the band around. Boston fans wouldn't sit during a U2 show even when they have seats, thats one of the reasons we get so many shows.Originally posted by ~LadyLemon~:
That's BS that those people were being so shitty, especially since they were still in the heart. I think people from Boston are spoiled anyway
