I'm totally out of the U2 loop but just stopped in my tracks at that Roxy setlist. What was the deal with that show, how did people get tix? How did people know it was happening? So full of envy!

They would do a KROQ FM christmas show, but it got cancelled because Bono fell of his bike. When he returned they decided to do this show in the roxy, where you had to win ticks. Only way to do this was to win a competition where you had to anwser U2 related questions. You needed some luck.
A question for those of you who have been to a show or shows. What time has the show been starting, and how long is the intermission?
q
U2 came on about 815 both nights I saw them. The intermission is a video montage after Even Better then the Real thing. If you have to use the washroom go then. YOu have about five minutes.
I catching the first two Boston shows. Trying to avoid boots/videos until then but thought the Roxy would be a nice show to check out.
It's worth it. Hole different setlist then at the IE tour. Will only be once, a special one like that I think. To hear 11 O'Clock again is special enough.
They should release a recording of that show, considering they gave up a new album for free. The only thing else I'd love to hear would be An Cat Dubh/Into The Heart.
Peace
Agreed. It was a concert by KROQ FM. Yet it is confirmed that no official (FM) audio will ever be available..
Was the show broadcast on KROQ FM?
Nope, that the weird part. It will never become available. I hear they will do a video with 11 O'Clock Tick Tock though, with good audio.
Wow, a video with 11 o clock tick tock, always loved that song, since I was 11.

Went to U2 at the United Center tonight. Great show. Didnt have great seats, sec 327 behind the stage, but only cost me $40. The crowd up there was fairly lame. I stood during the old songs of the first set as some people up by us were standing but no one complained. Once the 2nd set started and they went into mysterios ways my wife stood with me to dance, within a min security told us to sit down, mind you people 5 seats left and right of us were standing. All because some lady didnt understand this wasnt the opera. Luckily my wife handled the situation better then i would have. She spoke with a security mgr and asked where we could be moved to so we could dance. A few mi later we were handed complimentary $275 tics in sec 122 row 8, mid court 1st level so i got to hear and see the last 7 songs from those seats. Amazing time down there. Everyone's entitled to their own thing but i dont and never will understand sitting at a rock concert. If you want to sit, stay home and watch a dvd on your couch. Mad props to my awesome wife and united ctr security.

Nice, very nice. I wish they would bring their show to South Florida.

I really liked the two stages and having all of the floor as GA. At some point you are going to be close to the band at the floor. I arrived 45 mins before the scheduled start time and was 5 people away from the small stage. Setlist was just Ok and they don't change it up much.

You're correct I ended up going with my dad. He used to be a photographer, and where I thought he would be upset about a standing show for a band he wasn't all too familiar with, he embraced every minute of it - even going away from me into the thick of the crowd to snap pictures. He had a blast, and we both came out of it majorly impressed by the band and the production!

Listening to the album with the two discs. Disc two is amazing with all the acoustic versions and outakes. Every Breaking Wave is slowly becoming one of my all time favorite U2 songs up there with Bad etc. Why won't they come to FLORIDA! Peace

And I think we caught Bono looping back his own vocals. Check around the 3:45 when our PJ friend pulled the mike away...
