New York Setlist Watch and Thread Party, Part II

[Lila64]

"SHOW IS OVER "

 

[Dalton]

And this would be the same EW that, a few months ago, declared that Green Day was the band that 'saved rock'. Saved it from what exactly?

I heard it was Cyphalus ..... but it could have been the "clap".

 

[U2Girl1978]

I'm with you - EW (that hard hitting magazine that it is ) then went on to say that this coldplay album will be the album that HTDAAB wanted to be but quite wasn't

My mom thought I was nuts when I started ranting about it...

 

[Lila64]

thanks to zootopia for the setlist

Someone mentioned over there that maybe the snippet was a Stetasonic (sp?) song?

Is it just me, or does Skinny/Blond Lindsey Lohan look like that girl from Poltergeist?

She was hotter with red hair. I know people think she's skanky, she probably is. I still think she's cute.

 

[VintagePunk]

i bet they play bad to end it

Bad/40 snippet

Although it would be cool hearing an exclusive 40 closing just once, i suppose...

 

[timothius]

Thanks set list pimps :clap:

You are both awarded OI's (Order Of Interference)

You've done you're forum proud.

 

[Lila64]

Ok, time for a break from the blue crack. Will check back later for NY fans reviews and comments. (everyone seems to already have disappeared... - party and I wasn't invited )

 

[Lila64]

thanks tim

 

[VintagePunk]

I'm with you - EW (that hard hitting magazine that it is ) then went on to say that this coldplay album will be the album that HTDAAB wanted to be but quite wasn't

By my estimation, Coldplay, although a very good band, has about 20 years to go...then we'll make comparisons.

 

[kakvox]

There is no next U2. Ever.

 

[sue4u2]

Later folks.
Going to watch Coldplay then fall asleep to U2.

 

[u2wedge]

I don't see any of U2's ladies going to Coldplay concerts, but Gwyneth was at one of the Chicago U2 shows... at least that's what a caption on flickr said....

 

[brianh20]

There is no next U2. Ever.

And sorry...Coldplay won't be it, not by a longshot. Not after that SNL performance.

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

Thanks U2Fanatic4ever That was fun

You are so WELCOME MY FRIEND!!! THAT WAS A BLAST...!


take care and nite nite!

 

[bombergirl1978]

I agree that Coldplay isn't the next U2, but I gotta say their SNL performance was excellent, and I love Coldplay.

Hoping to get tickets to them for their sept tour. I don't think the 2 bands are even comparable. Different styles.

Hi, everyone!!!

Edge was ON FIRE tonight, so much so that Bono threw water in his direction to cool him down during "The Electric Co."! I've read he's done this before, but it was the first time that I saw it.

The girl during "Mysterious Ways" threw her arms around Bono, and literally hung onto him for dear life at first! When he was saying goodbye to her, he kissed her arm several times!!! LUCKY GIRL!!!!

During OOTS, Bono mentioned that it was John Abraham's birthday and that the song was also dedicated to the girls that they'd "helped to spawn." Bono then held his head, like he was exasperated, then said, "It's a family thing!"

Unfortunately, due to impending construction on the Long Island Rail Road that would have necessitated getting off the train, getting onto a bus for about three stops worth, then getting back on the train for the rest of the journey, I chose to take the train before that situation began...which meant no last encore for me. No ABOY, no "Yahweh" (which was GORGEOUS on Wednesday at the Continental Arena) and no second "Vertigo."

Is anyone still here?

 

[No spoken words]

Can you say TRIFECTA?

 

[threwabrick]

(SOME BLUESY SONG ... NY IS OUR HOME) This was The Jean Genie, an old David Bowie song - one of my favorites actually. Freaked me out when I heard the intro...kinda makes up for no 40 at the end...

Must go crash now, went to the concert sick as a dog...

 

[Lila64]

I'm here perusing. Didn't realize you (Diane) and NSW were there (brainfart I guess). Sorry you had to leave early Diane - that sucks. Howz about you NSW?

 

[Lila64]

we heard the energy of the crowd was wild. Can you compare to previous shows?

 

[No spoken words]

You knew I was going, Lila, you just forgot! I'm simply not memorable. I was supposed to be the source tonight, but, Queen Bee texted me and told me she would be out....and I had nobody else's cell # to text.

I stayed until the very end.

 

[Lila64]

dammit - I can't get text messages, but you could have called! Why didn't you ask for my number. Damn... I did know in the back of my mind, but forgot

then remembers I didn't get a response to my response to you - must have been too busy in NJ/NY with family and friends

 

[Lila64]

I have AOL IM, if that matters. Probably not now, since your done for this leg of the tour

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

This was my first show since San Diego 1 and 2 and it kicked those shows in the butt!! Wow! They're on fire now!!

The Bowie song was a treat - you had to see them - they were really rocking out! Bono had his guitar on and all the band members were faced towards Larry as though they were jamming but it was very hard and a real delight!
