    Oh ok. To me it sounded like you were bashing them.
    No, even if I was bashing them... sorry I didn't report to you, I didn't know my opinion needed your validation.

    In fact I don't like U2.

    When did I say I need to know about your opinion. In fact I dont like your opinion.
    You are the board Police Man... I forgot to tell you, to make sure it was ok to say..

    was also at the rogers centre last night. show was amazing. i haven't missed a u2 concert since 1984 at massey hall. great set list and his voice was in great form. i have seen some stinkers with this band but last night was the best show since the elevation tour. a lot of coverage to the achtung baby album. a show not to be missed.

    Oh come on Brian. Let's not start this again. You have your opinion and I have mine. They may differ but who cares.

    I've seen u2 maybe 12 times since 1997 (was that the pop tour)? u2 is AMAZING live. all songs are perfect and they sound fantastic. are they a band that would play like a "dirty frank" on the spot like pj? no. but they are awesome to see once a tour. you won't be disappointed! i'll be seeing them in philly thursday nite and nj next week. totally different than pj but the vibe is cool and the fans are chill.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    I still need to see them. The Slane Castle DVD made me a huge fan; probably best concert DVD I've ever seen and you can feel the energy of the band by watching the DVD.

    To the OP, enjoy the show. I'm sure you'll have a blast at the show.

    Also, to people complaining about their set lists. Their set lists never really changed each tour. Bono said they were a band before they could even play their instruments.
    Shows: 6.27.08 Hartford, CT/5.15.10 Hartford, CT/6.18.2011 Hartford, CT (EV Solo)/10.19.13 Brooklyn/10.25.13 Hartford

    Ya the Slane Castle DVD really made me want to see them even more too. CC, I am also in one of the last few rows so I hope you are right. I'm sure you are. I just want to be in there. They have been around for so long so who knows how many more chances there will be to see them

    Little back story on that video. The blind guy has a degenerative eye disease and began loosing his sight as a teenager. He's been to a ton of shows, and is a huge fan. At this show had a sign that said "blind guitar player." All I Want Is You is he and his wives song.

    Also, I'm not a huge fan of U2's albums post Joshua Tree, but I've been to about 30 shows since '09. If you are a moderate U2 fan you will certainly enjoy their show. The whole spectacle of their stage and sound system is well worth the ticket price.

    Also, Mike McCready was at the Anaheim show this summer. He seemed to enjoy himself.

    I saw a youtube video where PJ invited a drummer from the audience up onto the stage to play Betterman.
    Anyone know the video I am talking about or have a link?
