It's post #42 - a bar is having a U2 celebration tonight starting at 8pm.
If you could figure out some sort of anti-rain dance, and perform it at the stadium while you're there, I'd appreciate it.

We actually drove past yesterday after our flight landed coming home from the Denver concert!!! We just couldn't resist not making the 15 minute drive past!
Ha will do. I'm actually probably just going to go up early in the day tomorrow.
And you know what I'm thinking we won't get any rain. It hasn't been too bad today, and its supposed to be clearing away by tomorrow night. If it does rain, hopefully it dumps on The Fray and then clears just as U2 is taking the stage
Same here, in all cases. Since I have douchebag seats, i mean do a double dose of douchery and eat dinner during The Fray.
When U2 played at Rice-Eccles Stadium during the POPMART Tour, the "U" on the hill above the University was lighted with the addition of a "2" next to it. Does anyone associated with the University know if that will happen tomorrow night?
The latest weather forecast indicates that the rain should clear out in the early afternoon tomorrow, so the weather should be good for the concert!

The University did not officially do that, some fans and a local radio station did. And it wasn't there tonight, but I'm hoping someone will get it up tomorrow!
The GA line was steadily growing by the time I left.
The Claw looked absolutely MASSIVE against the smaller Rice-Eccles Stadium. I mean, even people in the highest seats are going to be pretty close. It's going to be a great show.
The crew and stadium workers were testing the lights on the stage and in the stadium, no soundchecks, although I did hear Space Oddity being played over the PA for a little bit. Not the whole song, just part of it. Seemed like they were testing out the main speakers.
There will probably be a quick soundcheck tomorrow, so those in the GA line will get to hear it! I'll be getting to the stadium probably just as the Fray are wrapping up.
I am too excited to even sleep tonight. It's going to be a very, very special show indeed tomorrow.
Thanks for the update TheEdge25! And good luck tomorrow!
47,000 with another 10,000 is hardly 'intimate', but if you want to say that, CanadInns wins the prize up in Winnipeg holding 30,000 (42,000 with temp seating for football, but I don't think they've put that many temps in for U2)

Let us know how that goes edge25. Good luck.
Ahh, back when people sent each other letters bitching about the setlist, cos the Internet didn't exist

Hard to believe that was over 14 years ago
I was in Japan when they came here for Pop. I remember some of my friends sending me letters complaining that they didn't think the show was very good.
I wanted to kill my friends.
Weird, I was legitimately standing maybe 20 feet at the farthest from whoever recorded that. When Edge first walks out, the camera is pointed in the exact area I was. We were up against the "eclipse" or whatever lame name it was called on that same side, a little closer to the front though.
Compared to how it's been, the weather and temperature will be perfectly fine tonight I think. Hallelujah!
