One day before Popmart Mexico first show, I was about 2 miles from the venue they were going to play, I was going out of a bank when I heard the bass line that starts Gone, of course, I was very hyped about the show next day, so my first thinking was I was going nuts listening U2 music that was only in my head, but no, it was real, it was the rehersal, to make a long story short, I droped work and went to the venue, it was a brand new stadium and a construction company was still working, I bribed some people, and I was able to get into the place, pretending I was a worker, so I was able to watch and listen more than 4 hours of U2 rehearsing, some times the techs, some times the boys, never ending versions of HMTMKMKM and mofo...well, for those reasons, every time I listen that bass line in Gone, it brings me chills, they bring back intense memories.
