    Moment Of Surrender

    Up next is Nashville, TN Saturday, July 2

    Well I was there on Wednesday and what a show they put on. I think around 75, 000 fans even though behind the stage mysteriously a whole lower section from one end of the stadium to the other was empty. It seems they could have easily sold those seats for sure.

    I sat in the lower 400's directly in front of the stage for the frst time in the stands of 3 shows now. From the previous shows I thought the Claw was a bit of an annoyance being on the floor. However, being up in the stands I was able to see snd feel the full visionary effect of this stage the Claw. All I have to say is WOW!

    As for the show Bono to me wasn't as animated, he seemed a bit reserved, low key...like he was saving energy. Love how he announced the city of Miami by mentioning the Miami Heat, how many times they have played the stadium under various names (he named them ALL) and he also mentioned the passing of Clarence Clemonds (he lived up the road here on Singer Island) and that his family was there in the audience. Bono also made a point of mentioning the Latin influence and that many fans came up from South America.

    The show was too good in that I thought they could have played longer 2 hours 5 minutes they were on stage. Another 15 minutes would have been fine even though they were hardly any long breaks in between songs and for the encore. My favorite moments was *I Will Follow* brought me back to beginning when I was first listening to the band, *Beautiful Day* with video from the space station and Shuttle Commander's words to his wife and lastly *Moment Of Surrender* which was sung with much heart and soul....beautiful.

    One thing though what was the deal with the parking fees $30 per car....let's say 25,000 cars that's around $750,000-$900,000.....who get's all that money? All and all we had great fun and one day in the future if the stars are all lined up right I'll get to meet this band backstage.

    they're playing zooropa and HMTMKMKM a lot. i think i'd combust if i heard one of the 2 and just die when/if i hear the other one. i never thought i'd have the chance of seeing either, which is why their performance at sydney during the zoo tv tour and the popmart dvd are heavily spun in my house. if they put in ultraviolet instead of HMTMKMKM i'm literally going to blame this board and going out to all of your houses and punching you in the crotch. :lol: that song has been my FAVORITE song ever since that shitty val kilmer movie came out (though i loved it since it had jim carrey and to a 7 year old anything with jim carrey is gold) and if i don't get a chance to see it i would be miserable for a good while... and zooropa has such personal meaning to me and i might even get a tattoo of some of the lyrics i have in my sig. i need to see them both. like, a deep need. knowing they put them in the setlists... i.. can't think straight.. i even got a ticket to philly on impulse knowing i can't drive so i can get twice the chance to see those songs live. going to nyc as well and i can't wait!

    Just scored 2 beautiful seats for my areas only appearance, NJs Meadowlands.
    Albeit rearstage, the view should be good at the new Meadowlands Stadium .
    Interpol opening up , I'll likely check them out, too .

    :thumbup:


    There will certainly be some sort of tribute to Clarence Clemons here !

    Last night in Chicago was the best U2 show I have ever seen. Out of Control and One Tree Hill!!!! I still can't get over it.

    The crowd was amazing, the sound was the best I've ever seen. The claw really looked good in Soldier Field.

    Absolutely fabulous night. It was so good, I've decided that will be my 360 Tour. I'm selling my tickets for St. Louis and Pittsburgh because it will not be better than last night.

    Thanks to the boys for 2 amazing years and some of the best nights of my life. I think my tour tally came out to 17 shows, (1 in Canada, 2 in Australia, 5 in Europe and 9 in the USA)

    Will never forget it...

    Subscribers Special. This weekend U2360° is coming live from Montreal.

    On Saturday night, U2 play the second of two shows in Montreal - and we're carrying audio of the whole show live and uninterrupted for our subscribers.

    Hard to believe that after this show there's only seven to go on U2360°. All the more reason to get up early or stay up late (depending on where you are in the world) and join us for one of the final nights of one of the great tours.

    Saturday's show will be aired exclusively on U2.com, the third time we've carried a live audio stream from U2360° for our subscribers.

    Log-in on Saturday, around 9pm (EDT) / 2am (GMT), and join us for the show.

    have seen U2 6 times and after last 360 show which was on 1st leg of n america i told wife, no mas. the shows have degraded into a broadway spectacle, 100% un-rock n roll or 100% anti-pj concert feel.

    i have no seen vids and posts from the latest/last stretch of 360 shows and it has become apparent someone in U2's camp got the message.

    one tree hill, bad, all i want is you (my wedding song). oh man, i wish i've seen 1 of their last months shows.

    heard a rumour they may even do a shed tour next go-around.
