Cardiff was pretty amazing to be honest, I've heard others say it was supposedly the highlight of the UK leg but I have no form of reference to say whether or not if it was but for me it was pretty special.

It was a 24 hour day for me having left home (Leamington Spa) at 5am Saturday morning and returned back 5.20am Sunday, I can't see myself doing it again but it was worth the tiredness I have had to endure all yesterday and at work today.

I was positioned right outside the pit on the barrier behind the round walk way and for me it was the best place in the whole stadium, not only did I get a great view of the stage and had no one head blocking my view but unlike the pit people I could take in the claw in all it's glory, it really doesn't make sense until it goes dark and and the band take the stage and the screen and lights etc are on but it is an awesome sight.

Yes the set list as a little too greatest hits for my liking after witnessing a incredible and no where near best of orientated set from PJ on Monday at Manchester U2's trawling through the hits was a little predictable but apart from Bono's voice ( a little off due to attending one of The Corr's wedding the night before till 7am in the morning) though no less passionate the night was as memorable as a night I have seen U2.

Having queued since 8 am my patience was rewarded with a stunning show but PJ's set list and sheer power would for me over shadow this as the better night but feel pretty privilege to have seen 2 of my favourites in one week and I have Kasabian tomorrow night

i can't wait! i'm so excited it's crazy. i was looking at the set lists and one of the songs they were playing was stay (faraway so close!) and it's easily in my top 5. if i hear that.. :shock: i just need to know when i should be there to line up for GA. i was thinking of getting there like early morning (just checked and by public transport the earliest i could do was 6:30/7am... hmmm..) the other 2 times i did GA were in ballrooms and i just squeezed through since i'm a 5'3 girl. whatever either way it'll be super amazing

Friday Becomes Wednesday




***** GIANTS STADIUM SHOWDATE CHANGE - YOM KIPPUR *****

http://www.u2.com/news/title/scheduling ... erformance


The U2 concert previously scheduled for FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25th, 2009 at Giants Stadium in New Jersey has been moved to WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23RD, 2009. The performance on Thursday, September 24th will proceed as scheduled.

The change was necessitated by the rescheduling of the New York Jets football game on Sunday September 27, 2009 from 4:15pm to 1pm out of respect for the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, which starts that evening. Yom Kippur is the holiest day of the Jewish year.

The spectacular staging installation for the U2 360° tour requires up to 2 days to disassemble. The original 4:15 PM game time scheduled by the NY Jets provided enough time for the band to load out the set. The change to 1 PM was logistically impossible for U2. In order to accommodate the New York Jets, the NFL and the state of New Jersey, which owns the stadium, and out of respect for U2 and Jets' fans of Jewish faith, U2 agreed to move their show rather than pursue other options.

'We regret any disruptions this may cause U2 fans.' said Dennis Robinson, President and CEO of the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority and Thad Sheely, Executive Vice President - Stadium Development and Finance of the New York Jets. 'Out of respect for the religious holiday it was critical that the game time was changed. The NJSEA, along with the Jets, want to thank U2, their management staff, their fans and Live Nation for their immediate response in helping us remedy this situation.'

Tickets for the Friday, September 25th performance will be honored at the newly announced show date of Wednesday, September 23rd. Refunds, if necessary, will be available starting Friday, August 28th (through September 22nd) at point of purchase for U2 ticket holders of the September 25, 2009 show who cannot make the September 23rd date.

The U2 360° Tour scheduled for Thursday, September 24th is not affected and will proceed as scheduled.

absolutely.

these will be excessive i believe.

i think it really sucks that they took away the friday night show.
inherently that changes everything ,
no matter how much they ( Giants Stadium , U2 , whomever is responsible ) try to downplay it ,...


dont they have schedules ?

with absolutely all respect to everyone , is this holiday a spur of the moment day , not planned well in advance on the calender year ?
why the f did they shcedule it then?

numbnuts.

i still will attend both nights ( weds and thurs now )
but it wouldve beeen nice to enjoy the weekend with U2 .

Its Bruces birthday.
Now with the new schedule- flopp,
perhaps U2 will have a very special guest the night of Wednesday the 23rd,
at Giants Stadium !

its also an old section of the Bronx here in nyc. It was purchased from some guy named Bathgate, he owned a huge huge farm in The Bronx, and thus they named the area after him.

I also belive that singer on " Britians Got Talent " Susan Boyle came from that place ( Bathgate ) somewhere in Great Britian.

and i am just about as crazy about U2 as I am about Springsteen and Pearl Jam.

OK , not quite that level

but theyre fun to see once or twice on the tour.

Bruce and PJ i could see everytime ( as many times as they play in any given area ) , probably not U2 alltho I am going to both stops at Giants Stadium later this month . I've got fancvlub seats so we'll see how it works this time around.

PJGARDEN

Sorry if this has been discussed. Didn't read through the whole thread. I'm trying to buy tickets on ebay to the houston show. There are several seats behind the stage that seem to be really close. From the pictures I have seen or the setup, the stage looks very open and round so I should be able to see pretty well from behind right? Can someone confirm for me? Thanks guys!

weekapaug19

I didn't think there was a front/behind for this stage setup...at least I hope not since I'll be behind the stage but very close

U2 TO APPEAR ON SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE THIS MONTH
Posted: September 02, 2009
By: m2
U2 will perform on NBC's Saturday Night Live on September 26. That's
the word from SNL cast member Bill Hader, who broke the news to Access
Hollywood TV show. The September 26th show will kick off SNL's 35th
season. And talk about sensory overload: According to the MSNBC
article, actress Megan Fox will host Saturday Night Live that night.
Cue the Bono charm offensive in 3, 2, 1...

This will be U2's third appearance on Saturday Night Live, having done
the show onDecember 9, 2000, and again on November 20, 2004.
