Springsteen Part III

[Headache in a Suitcase]

nothing yet... still looking. site's getting a little sluggish so you can tell the bruce fans are out in force waiting for the drop. not day of ticket sale sluggish, but just a little slower than it was 2 hours ago.

eh... i've got a ticket in the 200s behind the stage. if i don't get a GA from a drop my heart will not be broken.

 

[phanan]

No surprise here...

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Is that out this or next week?

 

[phanan]

Next week I think.

I've got a question: So, I have two ticket offers for St. Paul, one is in section 220, row 3, the other in 108, row 11. Now, the 220 is right at the side of the stage, while the 108 is basically straight back from the stage. The Xcel center is kind of smallish, but I don't know which would be a better view...any advice?

It's Pete from the Secret Policeman's Ball. I'd say he was in his 30s then.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

dazzled, you aren't going tonight?

[elevation2u]

hooray for a brand new setlist, i'm trying not to look at them because i'm afraid it will take the surprise aspect away once i'm at the show. plus, i'll probably be disappointed if i knew what song was next.

12 more days!

I wish I could go boith nights, but I'm happy just to be able to go at all.

 

[angelordevil]

Argggh!...I'm so envious of all of you going to the shows! Hope everyone has a blast. I tried to get Toronto tickets on the website, but they went in an instant. At some point on the tour I will see him...I've made up my mind.

I love this line in Livin' in the Future, and the way it's delivered:

We're livin' in the future and
None of this has happened yet

That's like something Radiohead would write....the whole album is so vibrant and politically relevant. It's amazingly inspirational to see an artist produce what could very well be his best work at this stage of his career...truly stunning.

[U2Fanatic4ever]

from backstreets.com news section:

Spotted in the crowd: James Gandolfini, The Killers, and Bono (who was rumored for a guest spot, but didn't leave his seat all night).

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

How's the recovery going this morning?

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

yeah... how many beers did ya get last nite headache???

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

if not for the fact that i'm gonna be at work until 10 tonight, the recovery would be just fine and dandy.

the show was great, as always. i was behind the stage, 200 level. i do like that bruce doesn't have an opener... came on around 8:20, over around 10:30/10:40ish, encore break was about, oh, 30 seconds long. was nice to be able to catch the 11:30 train out instead of the 1:30 that i normaly have to take for concerts.

anyhoo... the band was on fire (maybe edge was there), and the crowd was electric. wish i was going tonight, but alas, i am not. can't wait for stadiums in the summer

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Stadiums

Ouch, ten? That sucks.

Hi!

I'm not an expert on that venue, but I also have tickets for St. Paul in Section 108! I sat in approximately the same spot for U2 at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee and I much preferred seeing the entire stage straight on and lower from a little further back.

I might be wearing my Music Rising shirt, so if you see a woman wearing one, don't be afraid to speak up and say hi.

So, after looking at the Xcel website, they actually have a view from each section in the arena, and so, I think I'm going to stick with the 220. It's obviously up higher, but I like the view a little better...
