Until next tour!
I really wanted more, too, but I've got to learn to not get my hopes up.
(I predicted The Electric Co. before the Vertigo Tour, and should have retired after. I thought they would bring out Surrender for this tour. )

You would think he's an older guy if he didn't write like an 8 year old.
LOL. It was rude of them to come on at 9! You mean like every other show they've ever done? Yeah, any real fan that's been to more than a show or two knows that 9 is the standard.
I'm sure John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown band don't make their fans wait.
I'm no expert either but I think lightning will strike the highest place and then keep travelling until nothing can conduct it any longer. Sometimes it can jump to a person who is standing near. Which is why they tell you not to go under trees in a lightning storm but instead to crouch on the ground. Just sayin'. I'm sure there was a risk vs. benefits conversation somewhere and it was decided to go forth despite the risks. I'm sure the claw is grounded because it shelters the band.
LMAO - LOVE IT! how very true. Clearly the guy had no clue about what he was talking about...
And I especially like when cynical fans act like their city got stiffed. Why? Cause they didn't play NYD or Desire or Angel of Harlem or other songs from your Best Of CD?
The U had said they were in constant contact with the NWS throughout the gig and were being kept informed as to the specific location of the lightening. That it was all "well out of range" and so they could continue in safety.

Loved how the whole weather mess just fueled the atmosphere!
Do you think anyone made beer runs, took it back to their seats mid downpour, and then returned to the counter to complain "Hey, this is really watered down." ?
(boom TISH)
My friend and I went to both nights of the 2005 DVD shoot. The first night, we had some of the better seats in the house. While we enjoyed ourselves, we were glad we had GA for the next night . . . People in the seats were on CONSTANT beer runs. Give me a break.
This That said, the rotten weather added so much to the atmosphere at the New Brickhouse Saturday night. Chicago was a mind-boggling show, and this was awesome in a completely different way.
To me, it makes even less sense for a U2 concert! Brewers game, yes, by all means - get smashed. But U2? You don't need alcohol to enjoy it.
Which reminds me . . . There was one guy there, maybe in his early thirties, who I swear was drunk for at least 24 hours straight. He showed up to the GA line drunk, spent the whole day drunk, was even drunker near go-time for GA entry and looked completely s**tfaced when he finally found his way into the pit. He made a spectacle/ass of himself pretty much all day. He probably had no idea where he was when the band actually came on.
Was this guy on the back rail of the pit? I saw a guy that was so hammered he couldn't even complete a sentence!
