I love their latest album "How To Build An Atomic Bomb".  Nice research.

Have to say that the show didn't measure up to Wednesday for me.  Probably because I was in seats instead of on the floor, but it just seemed like there wasn't as much energy in the room.
 
 A big giant   :mad:  F-YOU  :mad:  goes out to the group in section 227 who couldn't shut their holes all night.  Sorry the show sucked so much for you...but I am glad Bono got your $175.

no it's the sign of a lazy copy editor..  and the review was spot on Mr. du Lac has a fondness for the band, but not for the trite pop singles the band became famous for.  Personally, U2 was better when they kept the politics in the lyrics and not inserted into the between song blather.  Didn't think the audience singing was an issue either, it's what people at U2 concert want to do.  Overall, the show felt less choreographed a bit more spontaneous than the Elevation Tour

Well I for one had a great time at the show last night.  I had GA tix and was situated about 5 feet off to the side of the ellipse.  As a U2 geek for over half my life, i'm come to accept the fact that U2 is not going to come out serve me a guiness, ask me personally how my day was, and start rocking all the songs from October and Achtung Baby that i'd love to hear live...they'll play their hits, and toss in a few gems for the geeks...because that's why the people are paying $100 to see them.  I loved hearing Miss Sarejevo again, and Who's Going to Ride Your Wild Horses was a very pleasant surprise...i've also enjoyed hearing Electric Co live on this tour as well (and i'm glad we got Bad over I Will Follow)
 
 Anyways, i'm not dissapointed at all...i am however freakin tired and sore with some ringing in my ears.

nicely stated... however larry did swing by the second to last row in the "cheap" seats last night to hand out a few cold ones

cool show.
 
 i thought it was funny when larry mullen (poor guy, he seems to be aging the worst out of the 4) finished playing his part at the end of "Bad" and he pulled out his ear monitors and just kept his hands  sustained above his shoulders...the roadie was there literally within a second to grab them.
 
 ahh, to be a pampered mega-millionaire rock star.

He (Larry) is suffering from severe carpal tunnel.  They considered cancelling a few shows, but he decided to play through with it.  You can't really see it (there's a picture somewhere on the 'Net), but he's wearing a pretty significant flesh colored wrapping/bandage thing on his forearm.  
 
 So glad you guys got Bad and Out of Control.  Bad is def my favorite live song of theirs.

and play more from Achtung Baby! On wednesday they only played one song from that album   :confused:
