It starts with Larry ("United States")... later, Bono, whom I thought would have our back, says "the US" (which is short-form for "United States"). Apparently, it didn't occur to anyone to make the correction... I'd thought it'd have been instinctive for such a "socially-conscious" band...

Dear U2, It's disappointing to hear you refer to Canada as the "United States". I'm not judging either nation, but they're not the same... The Welsh aren't English Kiwis aren't Aussies Austrians aren't Germans U2.com > Home "We're Coming Back" I know you know better...

SYCMIOYO with an alternate verse (see Post 1).

I'm talking about the "You'd Light" version, not the standard version that was played at every show of the Vertigo Tour.

Do you think we'll hear SYCMIOYO (You'd Light) on this tour? As far as I know, it's only been played once... Montreal, Nov. 26, 2005: ...that's alright, b/c we're the same soul ... You said you'd light You said you'd light up the night You said you'd find a pathway For my soul ... Listen...

If U2 wanted to play the UK, they could/would: • There are other, non-EPL venues. See what other Euro countries are doing • The soccer conflict also exists in other Euro countries and has been worked around • The Tour schedule was open, they opted to go to other countries pre-soccer season...

The schedule is open-ended; they go where they want to go. If they want to play at a show, they'll find a venue and suitable date - it's the same story everywhere.

Highly unlikely to be the issue.

stopping in Ste.-Anne for poutine...

It's Streets + a sound effect. I agree that, in the context of PM, it sounded cool (the light-speed visuals were also pretty cool), but, it was merely Streets + a sound effect. I think we have to keep that in perspective when qualifying the difference from the norm.

It is the same song/performance. An organ effect in the background doesn't change anything.

Interesting, possibly confusing, choice of words for those who live outside of Europe (proper).

Gman didn't dispute and/or notice the usage of both "Glasgow, Scotland" and "Glasgow, United Kingdom". Is this an implicit recognition of the "UK" as being the relevant entity for purposes of U2 concert distribution considerations?

If you're going to treat the UK as 4 constituent countries, then you should realize that both Scotland and Wales did very well relative to their populations. Haven't we already covered this?

Oh, because of the DVD, please Edge, give me a break... I can't stand when they counter the bitching and pretend it's all casual. Like that U2.com article, "Think you know the 360 show? Think again"... ROTFL. I bet the first couple of Euro shows will be standard and then they'll switch things...
