    Any idea where else the Roxy boot might be? I have horrible luck with Dime. I always lose my share ratio.


    U2torrents. It's a site ran by U2 fans. No official stuff on there only recordings from peeps themselves.

    Ahh - thanks!

    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.

    Agreed. It was a concert by KROQ FM. Yet it is confirmed that no official (FM) audio will ever be available..

    Anybody seeing the shady business going on with tickets. Tickeymaster pulled all available tickets and are slowly releasing them back and shifting prices on all of them at different times. Check how many are available for Chicago 5 right now when that was sold out this morning

    Instead of waiting for hopefully ga's for Boston, I'm thinking of hitting stubhub for sec 5 or 8....for those that have been, would those give a good view?

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Are seats behind the stage okay on this tour? I'm not looking to spend a lot for a ticket and don't mind just being in the building.
