September 17th, 2009: Toronto (show 2)

[OttawaU2Fan]

Curious how TO2 compared to other U2 shows in other cities during this tour? Anyone been to any other cities on the tour who can answer that?

I know Bono said "there is nothing we can say to that." after Streets. Does he usually say anything like that?

Here's some video I shot from the beginning of Streets.

Further proof that:

the CN tower lights WERE coordinated deliberately

it's aok to sing dance and generally make a joyful noise at a U2 show

(and that our group rocked out the hardest )

I've been to a few shows (not as many as most), but the TO2 show was the first one I've been to where everyone was clapping during the fading of Streets and the majority were jumping when the opening crescendos. At other shows, there are always a few people, including myself, who initiate the clapping and are hoping to jump, but most are just standing and waiting for the crescendo.

Anyway, the TO2 show was a great experience and something I won't forget. Here's another video of the crowd that is on Youtube:

If I had to guess, given what I heard about how quiet things were night 1 and how frustrated Bono was getting, I'd say they were probably just appreciative of the crowd on night 2.

Well, that and the fact that we are totally teh awesome.



Btw, way to break the forum people.

Next to the Rogers Centre are several condos, which look right into the stadium. Bono asked the residents that if they were listening / watching the show to turn their lights on and off. Several complied. It was a great sight.

outside rail? I was one off the rail behind a guy and girl. Were you talking about an accident involving tripping and scrapes with people around you? Were you number 50 in line?

 

[chyland]

You bought the white T-shirt for your girlfriend / partner / spouse / whatever-you-call-her, is that correct?

Also, the couple beside you, were they with you? If so, I have a photo of the woman's attempt to hand Bono her camera.
