Flash Mob, Keep it simple...trying at home.
Ok....so before everyone flames me for this suggestion, hear me out. I just came back from the DC show and there had to be close to 100k people there. It is quite impressive especially when people move in unison. So having said that, a week or so ago, the black eyed peas were on Oprah performing "I got a feeling". And if anyone caught it, it was performed outside with large audience and a flash mob dance broke out. For those that don't know, a flash mob dance is when one person starts dancing (choregraphed) and then another group joins in and another etc, until everyone is doing it. Again, it looked really cool. So since the BEP will be playing Vegas (among others, but I will be there), anyone interested in putting something like this together? I know we all go to U2 shows for U2, so if you hate BEP, that's fine, but it would be a pretty cool stunt to pull off. Or even better, why not someone suggest a U2 song that could this could be applied to. How do you think the band would react if the entire GA/Stadium broke out in dance? Maybe to I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight-they do it in "dancy" fashion.
So thoughts? Let the flaming begin and I will see you all in Vegas!

"for the people in seats (not GA) I think if enough of us just do it regardless of how silly we "think" we look it will go off amazingly well. Everybody can see the GA so I hope they will just follow along. What would be awesome is to prep the peeps in your section just after the BEP's. But that's a lot to ask, especially for the shy folk
. See I have no shame
and I am there to party...if people think I am nuts, oh well. Not like I'll ever see them again...
It will look amazing if enough of us do it!
Here is the track off you tube:
YouTube - U2 Dublin 2009-07-24 Crazy Tonight Remix
I am going to try this out see how it works. <<hj hits play on you tube video of crazy remix>>
If the GA start right at the top with the bobbing heads when Bono busts out with "Come on you people" we would have to take a two count because the beat is SO fast.
Practise people and let me know if it works. Count 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8
Ready? Yes, get up! C'mon , play it the video of the remix and try this, seriously...stop reading, up out of your chairs! got the beat?
Larry is rocking it...
in 1, 2, 3, 4 - both arms up (like an I) 1, 2, both out to the side (like T) 3, 4, both in a V 5, 6 then both arms to the left 7, 8, both arms to the right 1, 2, both arms left 3, 4, both arms right 5, 6, clap your hands 7, 8....
then repeat back to both arms up....keep GOING!!!!!!!!
Holy crap...I am totally dancing! LOL! (okay our dogs think I have officially lost my marbles..they are all excited and barking as I dance around the computer room! LOL!)

Imagine the whole GA doing that in unison! I think I should start a new thread just for this flash mob...pack your white flags peeps...we can wave them for SBS too. Tell everybody and get the word out...we should really do a video up with this remix pumping. It is fun!

There....Brian it was your idea...what do you think? Is it simple? Is it hard? Is it working for you guys? I am open to suggestions, and yes I have taken my medication today. LOL!
Interferencers can we pull this off?
