Looks like one of the many construction sites for new condo developments in my neighborhood.

I have no idea what I'm looking at, so I can't even begin to get any perspective of the stage out of it.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

that is one hell of an erection

[phanan]

Nah, better not go there.

 

[martha]

I've never seen a U2 stadium spectacular live and in person before.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

you never went to CockMart or CockTv?

 

[martha]

No. Life was happening, and, like I've said elsewhere, JT in a stadium wasn't the best concert ever, so it wasn't a top priority anyway.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

damn, CockTv and CockMart were pretty awesome... from what I can remember.

 

[martha]

Probably. I've never regretted not going.

You wouldn't be getting excited about a... stadium show, would you??


*remembers martha's previously stated opinion of stadium shows*

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

so hold on a second though... you were complaining about stadium shows but you never went to either ZooTv or PopMart?

Their best stadium shows?

No.

The crappy JT show is why I never went to any of the others.

 

[corianderstem]

I can see why JT in a stadium would be disappointing in boring. Ants on a stage, nothing else to look at.

At least with the stadium tours since then, they give you a damned spectacle that's visible from the crappiest seats.

Martha, I hope you'll be pleasantly surprised by the experience!

 

[coolian2]

i thought the vertigo stadium stage was big.

it looks like it's going to be easily dwarfed. wow. i hope they're still in stadiums come the north american leg next year.

 

[corianderstem]

I listened to Hawkmoon 269 last night. At high volume.

I can't believe I hated that song when the album came out.

 

[martha]

We all change.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Zoo Tv Outside Broadcast was my first U2 show.

I never saw Popmart, which I now regret.

I finally watched the Magnificent video and was underwhelmed. The dude in the red sweatshirt that looked like he was on E half the video, was that supposed to be the magician? I'm confused.

So, while I was on U2.com, I perused other videos I hadn't seen in a while. Hello, Zoo YV Bono + Wild Horses video. Also, the Window in the Skies video still makes me smile. I don't care who thinks I'm a dork for that.

 

[martha]

dork

I like it too.

On a chat thread note, I spent much of the day today making various reservations for our summer trip.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Awesome!

And yay for being dorks together.

I may have to go watch the Wild Horses video one more time.

 

[martha]

I may have to go watch the Wild Horses video one more time.

In slow-mo.

 

[Diemen]

Girls.





The g/f is a U2 fan, but had never seen Rattle & Hum before, despite it being one of her favorite U2 albums. We watched it yesterday. She didn't much care for the sweaty bare-chested Bono, but was quite amenable to the With Or Without You smoldering-gazes Bono.

I still can't get over how fucking incredible the performance of Sunday, Bloody Sunday is.

It peels the paint from the walls every time. I wish they'd put that on the record.

On a Pleba note, point out to the g/f how B rubs his pocket during Exit.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

In slow-mo.

Oh hell yes. And barechested Larry, too.

Ha, I'd love to see him pass that along.

[martha]
