you gotta know the right places! like the ones where you pay 7 euros for big 2 litre jugs of beer... and then ask for 4 straws lmfao

 

[mama cass]

it's awful how they fleece people at these events... even the hotels triple or even quadruple their normal rates just for the concert nights... drives me nuts!

 

[TM]

Off to Paris! See you guys tomorrow for the most bad-ass concert ever!

 

[mama cass]

have a good trip! i will be there tomorrow as well! can't wait!

 

[mama cass]

last fall when I was there a friend and I went to one bar and he ordered a beer came back and told me "this cost me 20 euro!" and it was for a f'ing Heineken. Stick with the wine.

Just back in my hotel after having a couple of beers near the stadium , 4.40 for half litre of pelforth . Wandered around outside if stadium and chatted to a few fans , there were about 30 in total over various gates when we left . There is a guy at the front of queue A who still needs a ticket if anyone can help . The weather is dry and still quite warm. The security were talking to us and saying that they will have yo move people a bit later when they will be putting queuing barriers in . We aim to join queue B at about 9am , I will be the tall guy in the green Hope Of The States Tshirt , say hello! Goodnight all, tomorrow will be blinding.

How chaotic and bad was the GA procedure getting in and out! Completely disorganised & people really selfishly sitting down once inside the pit. Glad to hear I Will Follow again though!

I have to say I was a little disappointed with the show. We were in row 11, seats close to the stage and sound was far from good in my opinion. Too much noise/fuzz. The sound was much better in Gothenburg for example last year.

It kind of seemed like just another day on the job for Bono, even though it is one of the bigger stadiums of the tour. Lacked some enthusiams. His voice was a little hoarse/tame in comparison with previous shows.

There were highpoints though. I loved Mysterious Ways (even though hey have cut the solo), North Star and Mercy were great.

I would still rate it as my least favourite show I've been to (only 5 though).
Maybe it is because it was my first second date on the same tour..

Anyway had a great time still

mhh interesting.
but i have to agree about the sound. was not the best sometimes, and very loud in my opinion.
but i liked the show a lot. bono seemed to have a lot fun talking in french and he obviously did not have a clue what he was saying there lol.
oh yeah and i will follow....i was so much waiting for this.

True. They blew my ears off... And something went wrong with edge's effect box. Sounded like a unplugged guitar noise sometimes. (bzzzzzzzzz)

 

[mama cass]

we took a pack of earplugs (for the kids really) - U2 are a particularly loud live band lol

they were distributing earplugs at the Stade... i do prefer to wear them to be honest, just for a little bit of protection... - tinnitus would be a b!tch...
