[bono_man2002]

Dunno if I'll line up for 36 hours again. Might just do 34 hours.

Pft. I'm already at Etihad Stadium!

See you all there!!

 

[mrnathan15]

So does anyone know if any claw pieces have arrived in Melbourne yet? I would presume it would be set up over this weekend?

There's no A-League games scheduled there this week, so you might be right. I would have thought maybe Sunday evening/Monday the Claw starts going up.

does anyone need a pair of reasonable seats for the 3rd dec at etihad, selling at face value, im trying to get a red zone tic now instead. pm me for details.

 

[mysterious_jen]

just a few days before i go on my sabbatical from this forum until the after the first Brissy gig...

but i will check back here because i would like to know if anyone who is going to Melbourne wants to meet up!

highly probable danny, text me on the day!

[ultraviolet92]

[dan_smee]

Bad is my favorite song as well, i had to leave early last time they played at melbourne and i couldn't believe it when i got home and saw they played bad, never ever leaving early again no matter what lol

 

[bono_man2002]

HAD to leave early? For U2?

 

[millybella]

HAD to leave early? For U2?

yeah or we would've missed the train and had to stay in melbourne overnight, but i see they've put on more this time so no leaving early this time

 

[mysterious_jen]

i know what its like to be freaking over that last train home ! last train for me is 12.05 and i sweat on it every time i go to a concert in melbourne.
worse was when i went to pearl jam and last train home turned into a freaking bus and didnt get in til 2am !

any way , sleeping at the train station would be so worth it for u2!

AWESOME! i've been waiting and waiting for some melb pics, 3 sleepies to go

Just over 3 days to go

By the looks of the forecast Bono will be making a rain-related snipped for every song. Let's hope he's got some new ones this time!

 

[quadcaster]

Flight from Auckland to Melbourne in the morning. See you soon guys!

 

[mrnathan15]

Hopefully not too much rain though, isn't that why Zurich 1 (or 2 ?) had a shortened encore?

btw that claw is going to look mighty fine in Etihad!

For those of you interested in a meet-up, there may be drinks on Tuesday night, and/or on Thursday night. On one of those nights, I want to go to Borsch, Vodka, And Tears over in Windsor.

As for the stage being under construction at Etihad, I went down to have a look today. Bloody hard to see much of consequence but I tried my best: U2's stage under construction in Melbourne - U2gigs.com

(No song-related spoilers in that article for anybody avoiding them.)

He's snippeted Four Seasons In One Day before. In Auckland. Let's hope he's aware it was actually written about Melbourne.

 

[coolian2]

he did don't dream it's over for auckland, damnit i hope it wasn't a token snippet.

 

[Axver]

I spy token AC/DC snippets on the horizon.

 

[bono_man2002]

Yeah and no Material from No Line On The Horizon...er, over the horizon!

 

[Axver]

Fuck Unknown Caller when we can have a snippet of Thunderstruck in Elevation!

If the rain comes they run and hide their heads
They might as well be dead
