Can confirm Headache’s notes about timing. Walked in at 7:15 and was about 8 people back on Adam’s corner. Honestly I could have gotten to that spot as late as 8pm, that’s when it started to fill up. Should probably note that this was the Wed 10/11 show. I wouldn’t be surprised if trevgreg is...

I don't love Elevation either and wish they'd change it out. But also, my take on this song has always been "it's not a great song but my god does it play well live" I think that's all this is, unfortunately. I won't be at Sphere until next week, but it seems like it still bangs live. And...

Just looking for face, so they're $90/ea. This is credit card entry, so I'd have to meet you before hand and walk you to the gate for the CC entry. I'm planning to get to Soldier Field a bit before 7pm.

Got it. So if put up for vote in your state you'd be in favor of gay marriage, right?

If I didn't know better I'd say your problems with this ruling run deeper than concerns about judicial activism.

Help me out here, folks. I really like the first and third verses of this one, but WTF is Bono going on about in the second verse? How in the world does that fit with the story he's telling in the rest of the song? Am I missing something, or is this just normal Bono lyrical clunkiness?

While I think there are a number of songs that could be released, realistically there probably isn't a legit Top 40-esque single on this album. That's just not really who U2 is compared to the rest of the market these days. However, Song for Someone could absolutely smash on Adult Contemporary.

Yes. In the US I'd say NYC, Boston, Chicago, and LA are particularly high-demand markets for U2 shows. Not coincidentally, three of those are the largest US markets, but they do have a fairly high concentration of U2 fans regardless of their sheer size. Based on previous tours I would think...

You aren't guaranteed. I'd say the urgency to get one is largely dependent on market. If you're in a big market with lots of potential U2 fans it's probably a good idea to have it - I would, if only as a safety. This tour is likely to be arenas, I believe. That could impact things a little bit...

Sorry to parse out a line from a larger note, but this cracked me up. Yeah, I think they'll be okay financially.

It's playing in California - I saw it about three times last weekend. Once during Wimbledon, don't recall what it was during on the other instances, but it's worth noting that I've watched very little television over the last week and still caught it several times. Might be location too - Los...

No Chicago GA's for me either.

Frankly this attitude is a lot more embarrassing than anything Fred Durst or Carrie Underwood could say about U2.

Largely true. Overstated. Certainly there are plenty who detest U2, but there's a significant number of fans who like the band, they just aren't rabid fans. For most it's not really black & white. I was in college when ATYCLB was released. I don't know if midnight releases are still...

Just a quick update - the order hasn't changed since I did this about 30 rankings ago. It remains: Magnificent Moment of Surrender Unknown Caller No Line on the Horizon Breathe Fez-Being Born Crazy Tonight Stand Up Comedy White as Snow Cedars of Lebanon Get on Your Boots In terms of the...

Expensive.

Perhaps this is blasphemy, but in the interest of saving some time this would seem like the perfect opportunity to dump both MLK and EP&A. Neither is making it beyond the next round; why delay the inevitable?

Well, if you insist. I compiled the first 124 posts in this thread and averaged the rankings out. I didn't use a point system, simply the average ranking amongst posters. Here's the list, and then I'll offer a few comments of my own. Magnificent - 2.79 Moment of Surrender - 3.29 Unknown...

I don't think that word means what you think it means. (I'm just kidding) O Come, O Come, Emmanuel And yes, your first note is indeed interesting.

Okay, first of all it's obvious that NLOTH needs a diaper. Who's going to put their face that close to NLOTH after what we learned above? Yikes.

This seems right. One thing I was wondering about today is exactly when the shift happened. When HTDAAB came out the reaction on this site was incredible - people went nuts for it. It was considered one of U2's best. Today, while it certainly has supporters, the album ranks towards the...

That's twice as many days to review it as we'd had yesterday!

<guffaw> Very nice.

Serenity now!

This actually elicited a legitimate guffaw.
