Opening act?

[jphelmet]

U2 iNNOCENCE 8-00pm - 9-15pm

break 9-15pm - 9.30pm

U2 eXPERIENCE 9.30pm - 10.45pm

Would be cool but would bet 1st and 2nd nights would be almost identical if that is how they do it.

Assuming they get 11 song per set, they could easily have 15 or 16 songs planned for each set and rotate them.

They could switch IWF for OOC, Bad for AIWIY and Acrobat for Red Hill Mining Town

U2 should really piss everyone off and re-release 'Rattle N Hum' in the theaters or even better make a sequel

They did FTSD....I know, not the same as R&H but it was still a documentary.

And I would soooo go see R&H if they re-released it. Yep yep and yep!

7:00-8:40 Rattle And Hum screening

8:40-9:00 break

9:00-10:15 U2:18 LIVE
(standard tracklisting, no I Will Follow)

10:00-10:05 short break, mostly consisting of angry crowd chanting for their money back.

10:05-10:10 Innocence: Every Breaking Wave Acoustic
(Bono and Edge both make a couple of mistakes. Final straw comes when Adam burps during the second verse, which is picked up by a nearby microphone.)

A riot ensues and the rest of the tour is cancelled.

You forgot 10:10-10:15 Vertigo2

So I did!

 

[shaun vox]

so no opening acts this time around? thats odd..

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

If there's no opening act because they're going to play for slightly longer? I'm certainly OK with that.

If there's no opening act but they're still going to play for the same time they usually play for, but end the show an hour earlier? Frankly I'm OK with that, too.

 

[Galeongirl]

Going home at a decent hour would actually encourage me to line up earlier, no horrible lack of sleep the next day is kind of a win.

 

[dan_smee]

I for one am pretty excited about what a lack of opener could mean for the show.

 

[Oregoropa]

I had Kanye for an opener in Portland - Vertigo tour.

No opener, end early.
Win / win.

Do you see any openers listed anywhere?

nope...because nothing has been officially announced. doesn't mean there won't be any. for the high price of the tickets, i'd bet my 2 ga tickets on there being openers on this tour.

You're right that it's not official... but the price has nothing to do with anything. The price is that high because of U2. The opener or lack there of is meaningless.

And name one other tour where we were just weeks from opening night and no openers have been announced.

Obviously until they officially say there isn't an opener, there could always be one announced. But until they announce one, there isn't one, and the closer we get the more confident we can be that there won't be an opening act.

And I'll happily take your GAs when there isn't an opener.

I saw him in Portland - I thought he was pretty great. Loved the string section.

 

[trojanchick99]

I am still so very jealous that some people had Kanye open while we had Damian Marley and a dude waving a flag.

 

[corianderstem]

I enjoyed Damian Marley but really only because that Vegas show was my one and only time in the ellipse, so it could have been Ted Nugent opening and I would have been all "WHOO!"

You had to at least be impressed by flag-waving dude's upper arm strength to be waving that thing around for 30 minutes, though.

 

[last unicorn]

Ending early, the wish of the old lazy people

I couldn't care less about when they start or end, I can't go to sleep after a concert anyway. They can play until 3 in the morning for me.

 

[BigMacPhisto]

Damian Marley was the fuckin' Beatles compared to Kings of Leon.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I see your Kings of Leon and raise you a Dashboard Confessional. God they were horrid. They single handedly introduced me to wearing ear plugs to concerts.

The current discussion reminds me of this:
