    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 hope you get better.

    I hope I can make the Jersey show of the tour. I'd love to see the stage in person.

    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.

    I went to both shows at Giants Stadium in 2009 - night 1 was right up front next to the stage, night 2 we were about the 50 yard line on the field. Great show from both spots. I have heard from friends that saw shows from seats in lower sections and from the nosebleeds - everyone reported that it was a fantastic experience. I think they really do a great job with this show.

    cool. we were going to go to Oakland June 7, but had to cancel the trip. Ha, it just occurred to me now we have tickets to American Idol that night. odd.

    We are going to see U2 in July - Philly, NJ, and Pittsburgh.


    Chris - if you want, I can check around for tickets, usually people are trying to sell/trade. All face value too.

    I have an extra for Pittsburgh too

    I'll ask a couple friends of mine if they want to make the trip. Thanks for the offer, though. I appreciate it.
