[Acrobat Angel]

Evening folks!

 

[dan_smee]

Have fun Andrew!

Good luck all there

 

[u2shamrock]

Definitely will not still be up by the time this one starts. Hope everyone who's there has a blast

 

[hcbiggs2002]

Hiya, looks like I'll able to join in with this selist party, not so busy at work today. Will there be any live feed this time?

 

[U2387]

Here's to hoping any performance of Desire is full electric.

Not one of those U2 songs that really works acoustic..........

At least not unless its the middle of the set on the Elevation Tour.

^ spoiler tags are your friend bru

 

[blueeyedgirl]

Just got a txt from reptile, he's front and centre in the inner circle!

I told him if Bono gets near, he has to give him a big sloppy kiss from me....

Didn't even look at the spoiler contents until you posted this.

I never got the memo that the contents of a soundcheck were off limits for a set list party.

General courtesy isn't it? Some people want to see it as it happens?

 

[cleazer]

setlist party time!

when's this sucker going to start, in about 2 or 2.5 hours?

I have no idea if I'll stay awake or not!

Never seen a set list party where soundchecks were not discussed. Sometimes, they are discussed at length.

Its not like what is soundchecked will definitely make it to the show anyway, as we well know.

Its not like I posted the entire set list that I got from Dallas to the thread without a spoiler tag.

That would be a breach of general courtesy.

Soundcheck discussion? Not in the least bit.

Lads, lads, bit early to be having a tiff????

Wait at least till the third song, eh?

 

[bonocomet]

Rain tonight.

 

[dan_smee]

yep, meant to be storms at some point...

 

[wendynz]

Evening everyone. I saw the weather report on the news and it showed rain for Melbourne guess we will get some rain snippets tonight. Still recovering from last week and am in U2 withdrawals - wish I was going to the Oz concerts like some of the others but guess I will just have to stick to the setlist parties.

 

[cleazer]

Starts at 8:45pm apparently. It's just after 7pm now.

thanks, that's sooner than I expected, I guess I'll try to stay up after all

 

[dan_smee]

Should be on in an hour now

 

[U2FanPeter]

I can stay up for this. No idea if there is a text source.

 

[dan_smee]

text source?

 

[coolian2]

hopefully ax will be good to go on the u2 gigs twitter.

 

[bono_212]

Ax is at the show, don't think he'd be tweeting?

 

[dan_smee]

there'll be about 400 people tweeting, surely. Ax said he be tweeting when the show starts, his battery is low though

 

[bono_212]

Ah, ok.

 

[U2FanPeter]

Are we moments away for Stingwray?

 

[coolian2]

Are we moments away for Stingwray?

probably about another hour.
