u2 On Radio 1's Live Lounge 27th Feb - U2 at BBC!

[oceane]

Well, to me more U2 fans= more happy people, so that's good

I'll get tickets for the tour either way, never failed to see a U2 show when I've wanted to (but it does require dedication)

 

[WildHoney]

we think the same!! lol!!

 

[AdamThomasU2]

no tickets for me either, i am beyond gutted!

oh well, back to the grind

U2s Radio 1 performance

The Radio 1 performance this friday will be able to be watched at will for 7 days after it happens. Just press the red button on any digital BBC channel. GREAT NEWS.....as i didnt realise it was being filmed

 

[alanah]

Nice, thanks for the info.

 

[Total U2 Nut]

No luck here, I can't believe so many people put their names in - has anyone here been lucky?

 

[oceane]

Ok, regarding the Culture Show tonight, is there a way to watch online? I have TV but I'd rather stay in my room and watch on my computer.

TVCatchup - Never Miss A Show Again

In an effort to get away from endless Hollyoaks episodes that always seem to be on in our kitchen I found this, pretty useful and a decent range of channels too.

No it isn't government owned, we as Uk residents have to pay for a TV liscence for the BBC. They say it is a waste of our money to give U2 free publicity.

I think it works both ways. BBC are in the doggy doo doo anyway, for one reason or another and they are using U2 to gain a bit of credability back, and U2 are using the BBC to get it for nothing. They would have to pay for other channels to give them as much publicity as the Beeb are giving for nothing. That's the argument. Pretty lame to me, but then I am biased

U2 on TV is more than worth my liscence money, everything else is not

The problem is it's only a lot if you take the entire BBC as one enterprise (which it is) but in essence you've got

1. The Most Popular Chart and Youth radio station in the country: 1 20 minute interview, 1 hour live set and interview of the Biggest band in the world
2. The Most Popular Adult Contempory radio station in the country: Guests on the Drive time show.
3. Radio 4: 25 minute interview on a low rated What's new in Culture show
4. interview and two song set on the most popular chat show on British TV.
5. 30 minute interview/set on the BBC 2, with an extended repeat.

None of which is really over the top considering U2's size, where the BBC (in light of their new post-IPlayer corporate identity) has got it wrong is selling it as a huge event which builds it bigger than it is, when in actual fact it's not much more than what happened in 2004. It's just now the BBC is so focused on their web-site that every thing has to be interconnected.

Wow I never knew about this website That's amazing! Thanks, I just registered.

EDIT: Ok, I can't believe this website exists! And it's free! It's got tons of channels I don't get on my TV! Am watching Champions League right now without having to go downstairs and annoy my flatmates!

 

[Anji]

So all the BBC employees who are not allowed to enter got them then

Stalking I will go then!

No problem, having already paid a fifth of a tv license for our communal tv I was loathed to pay for another in my room so this was the next best thing

Yeah, sorry, it's only for people in the UK. But it's already quite impressive, can watch all UK basic channels live, high quality, for free! So it would be a but too good to be true if people outside could watch it too

Maybe there are some other sites streaming BBC 2? (not legally I presume)

Where did you get this info from?

To be honest I can't see the point in going down with no ticket as it does say no one will get in, we went to TOTP and JR last time in 2004 and the band didnt stop on the way in on either occasion and only briefly late on after the JR taping.
But to all of you going down be lucky!!

Hey everyone...

I feel kinda bad for posting this, but my girlfriend actually won! *iz ded*
I can't believe it, this sort of thing never ever usually happens to me.
I'm genuinely sorry to everyone who didn't win... I just thought you might wanna know that a fan actually won, not just BBC employees or something. If cameras are permitted, we'll take as many pix/vids as we can. *runs away and hopes everyone doesn't throw stuff*

 

[adrball]

Nice...enjoy your day. I'll be waiting patiently for 11am and the Red Buttton replay.

 

[Salome]

congrats

 

[oceane]

That's great that you won! We're happy at least one Interferencer is going

Still haven't heard from any of my 5 friends who registered when I asked them too, so not completely loosing hope yet...

 

[WildHoney]

[Anji]
