Hard not to be moved by that finale. Wonderful touch to let them have the stage to themselves at the end.

At the O2 a new colour was out each night, but left-overs from the previous night were still on sale (ie on night 1 only night 1 colour was on sale, on night 2 the 2nd colour and left-overs from night 1, night 3 the 3rd colour and left-overs from nights 1 & 2 and so on). I think even by night 6...

Makes me think of the 30/12/89 show, Shine Like Stars into Love Will Tear Us Apart at the end of WOWY. That was WOWY perfection.

Amsterdam 3 & 4, Stockholm 1 & 2, Barcelona 1, 2 & 4, all 6 in London. Still to come Dublin 3 & 4. Was scheduled to be at Paris 3, so hopefully will still be able to go to that one as and when they play the show.

The shows tomorrow and Sunday are pretty much irrelevant now, there is no way they can go ahead (nor should they). Thoughts and prayers with all in Paris tonight.

Anyone know if there was / is a Paris event shirt?

I guess it could be shown on delay "as live". Which might make tonight a test run for it.

Clearly they left it out to make room for Acrobat & Red Hill Mining Town on the e-stage.

Unusual for the O2, my queueing experiences there have generally been good but it's pretty obvious there were major issues on night 1 (was in the seats so was watching it unfold before the show, curious to see how it worked as I have GA on other nights). The whole "north / south" thing they do...

Show runs about 2.5 hours so work back from the curfew. I'd expect 7.40ish (leaving a bit of room with the curfew just in case Bono starts waffling!) on the Sunday and 8.10ish on the other nights. The O2 doesn't enforce a strict curfew, the band / artist can play on past without the plug being...

Still waiting on a GA drop for London 4. London 1 popped up this afternoon, London 2 earlier this evening (both still there last time I looked).

The O2 shows won't start that early. Expect them on stage around 8.15pm for every night bar the Sunday, that will be around or just before 8pm to hit the 10.30pm curfew. The show itself is around 140 - 150 minutes depending what they close with.

First up I was a bit irritated they had moved them, having seen the show now it's probably in a better location where it is. One thing I did see in Amsterdam (less so in Stockholm) was the actual entrance to the RZ seemed to be in the middle of the (packed) GA section - getting in or out must...

Good old fashioned Bongolese. After Rome on 360 I still want to sing "shabba dabba doh" to Elevation.

We had no issue swapping sides in Amsterdam, went in 'North Side' both times but spent the 2nd night on the 'South Side'. Same in Stockholm. I'd guess they might enforce it in the UK, H&S are very twitchy about standing capacity here.
