some soothing, encouraging thots
like a few other people have said, remeber the 'fish farm' comments
Plus think of these things
A) Bono says at least for him--he's still trying to get the music down better & better that he hears in his head.
B) If Edge is doing these intense great gutair things, would there only be enough for one more {this} tour?
C) What if this tour is as great or *even* better that the Elevation Tour. Couldn't that Magic keep them going?
I think that statement/rumour is way too blanket a comment to be true. Esp since they haven't even realeased the record, let alone gone on Tour, yet.
Take a look at Springsteen
Oh I did! saw him 2x's this past year! >very lucky me!<
He was out there *
rocking out and having a great time* as well as I'd ever seen him. And he's in his mid-50's!
There's a *good chance* they'll {u2} do a another record still and a tour for that one. It just might get more spread out in time.
SO take heart my Plebans and *Concentrate Instead* on ways of saving /or making extra money to get tix and plan your transportation!
Meanwhile I shall *mentally keep my fingers crossed*--that all of you who have never seen them *will* this upcoming tour!
While I *hope* that I >it may seem 'nit-picky' to some of you-who have never seen them< will *Finally* get close enough at a show to them to finally take Concert Photos of them!
You must Understand {as Frodo said}-- I have been a R&R SuperFan for about 33 years. I have taken good to *superb* photos of just about all my favorite bands --Who, Bruce, PAtti SmithGroup, Television and a bunch of my 2nd tier favs, and some local bands.
I and my friends for all the 23 years we've been fans of U2- we have never, ever had *any good, let alone great U2 seats*. It's not for onesupmenship. It's the love of the band/music, & their live performance.
I snuck my big camera in pieces wrapped as birthday presents for the Summer Elev tour. I put it together after the lights went down, but film didn't take up on the spool!
'Course, I didn't *know this* till the negs came back completely clear/blank
But after 9-11 I *didn't* dare try and sneak it in.
So that's one of my biggest U2 wishes plus seeing them outside the venues up close.
Good Luck to us all!!! !
