 So doubtful, esp since Bono prob. has too many politico-types to hang with.
 
 BTW:
 MCI says:
 8:45 to 11:00 for the boys, following a 1/2 hour intermission, following Damien Marley's 7:30 start
yeah, they are averaging about 2 hr 15 min shows thus far, at least for the 3 i've been to so far.
 
 and i suspect that the lads were on the hill today, and if not, will be on the hill tommorow.

have they done surprise club dates? i hadn't seen any as of yet on the vertigo tour. is this a new thing? should i immediately hightail it to the 930 club after the shows on wed and thurs for a midnight performance? [/b]
No, no surpise club dates on this tour.  Last tour they did Irving Plaza in NY before the album was released.  I am in NYC now or I'd love to see Rattle and Hum again on the big screen.
 
 Oh, you be betty, you weren't even alive in '83?  I first saw this band on December 13, 1980!!!  I (gulp) was your age and had the same concert problem with my parents you are having now.  I snuck out to see U2...I just had to.  Didn't get caught (phew) and told them years later....they laughed.  Not recommending that for you, though.     ;)   Yikes, coming up on 25 years ago! [/b]
that's so cool!  our neighbor in LA was talking to me before my friend and i went off to see them in April, and he was telling us about how he'd seen them back in the day...and that wow, he was starting to feel very old telling us about this; as he remembers talking to all the old rockers WHEN he was a kid about...going to see the Stones, and stuff.

was that when they were still playing at the Bayou?  if so, i'm jealous...i was about 5 then...i didn't get to see them live until Pop [/b]
The "War" tour was at the Ritchie Coliseum at the University of Maryland in 1983......I was there up front at a general admission show.....the last time I saw them, also......and I'll never see them again I'm sure......unless I sneak into a "surprise" club date somewhere......I don't do arenas or stadiums for music anymore....

The Ritchie show was fantastic. Back when Bono was just a great frontman for a very very enthusiastic and tight band. He was all over that place, even carrying the Irish flag up to th nosebleed seats at one point. It certainly impressed me at the time. I would never wreck that memory with the current spectacle, although I'm sure they're highly entertaining. He's just a bit to over the top and full of himself at this point IMHO.

Someone at the Post loves Bono
 
 Can't wait to read J. Freedom's review.  I'm guessing Coldplay was just a warmup.

Too bad he didn't dig out his Macphisto devil costume so he could look more like Dumbya.

Walk-On-By:
 See Bruce in Richmond.  I pulled 3rd row seats.  Missed him at the Patriot Center because I had HFestival tickets.  Looking forward to my first tour for D&D. Enjoy the show!

So was Damian Marley as much of trainwreck as I think he could be based on the allmusic review of his latest record? Not so sure I can get into his dancehall vibe...

He wasn't nearly as bad as I thought he might be.  A decent vibe, though all the songs started to all sound alike after a while (some might say the same of U2 though).  He did play "Could You Be Loved".
 
 U2 was excellent as always.  We lucked out and got into the circle in the front.  Spent the whole show 10 feet from the front and center.
