    oh yes!

    maybe swap out Miss Sarejevo for Bad and Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me for Ultraviolet - that would be cool

    I'd love to see them break out "Love is Blindness"

    that would be good too. The holy grail is 'Acrobat' which they have never played live, but I really am not at all interested in hearing it. It is a good song, but I think I would enjoy many others a lot better.

    The Denver show was absolutely phenomenal. Not just setlist wise, but energy wise. I'm used to seeing U2 in foreign countries (Ireland, Germany, Australia), but boy this crowd gave any of them a run for the money (at least where I was. Center GA, just outside the claw).

    Even Better Than The Real Thing is a fucking kick ass opener. Goes great with the claw.

    All I Want Is You in to Stay was my highlight (those songs are in my top 5) Zooropa was fucking amazing.

    This show really never slowed down. Until the End of The World was really intense. Having seen this show about 15 times I think, I still say Crazy Tonight is the climax. It really takes off after that.

    Can't wait for tomorrow in Salt Lake. Think it may be a little chilly. The only way they can top Denver set list wise is if they play Out of Control in the two slot and switch Hold Me Thrill me with Ultraviolet.

    Overall, best US U2 show I've seen, one of my favorite setlists so far and the highest energy I've seen them have live.

    Will do. Going to be one of the smaller stadiums they hit this tour. The other night felt like a club show though being that close...

    Less than 24 hours to go...

    I wasn't too happy with the 360 tour shirts I got so far, they fit really tight, graphics were so-so. I normally get X-Large shirts, but these are very snug. These days I normally do not get black shirts (wore enough of those in high school) and the design has to be interesting. I don't have too many Pearl Jam shirts either.

    I only have one U2 shirt and my friend got it for me when he went to the MA show a couple years ago. I have three PJ shirts. I really want that Achtung Baby shirt. I hope they sell that one on the store after the tour. I know they put some shirts in the past from 360 shows on their store. Hoping they do that for the Achtung one. It's gotta be a sign that a reissue is coming this year. The shirt at the shows and the fact that Bono said a new album is coming out "next fall", though he didn't specify if it's 2011 or 2012.

    hahahahhahaaa......never believe Bono when it comes to promising when the next album will come out. He will say "The Edge is really on fire this time" and "we are working on new material, should be a new album out by the end of the year". he is full of shit. and I mean that in the nicest way. :lol:

    :lol::lol: Oh I know that. I learned that after the delay of No Line and then him saying "Songs of Ascent" would be out in 2010. Then their manager saying probably an album out in May. Also, the band hoping to have an album by the US leg. Point of this is: Never believe the band until it's final.

    I figured they would play "Love Rescue Me" in his honor. I'm sure there'll be some tags of other Dylan songs.

    Found out I have cancer 2 weeks ago :cry: . Saw U2 last night :mrgreen: . It was very life affirming and good for me.

    Pearl Jam will always be my favorite band but I don't mind a big production show. U2 is the antithesis of PJ. That stage is pretty unreal.

    I was listening to the Mexico Ciy shows from last week while I was trying for PJ20 tickets Monday and I heard Discotheque in there, was pretty cool.
