    It sounds like you got the gift from two years ago. Maybe U2 also uses mail innovations...

    They do, I checked my order, (UPS Mail Innovations) I signed up this year and selected the U2com10 2014/2015: Another Time, Another Place - Double Vinyl (U2CF3112) Gift with my subscription. I was wondering when they were going to start shipping these out.

    Me & 8 of my friends flew out to California to check them out I mean the line up was sick but U2 was def one of the bands we wanted to see !!!! So when you look out at that crowd I'm out there somewhere in the mass ...

    Boy did McGuiness (in Yanks hat backstage) look young & skinny then.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    Just a heads up for US people, soundstagedirect can get you the Joshua Tree vinyl box for just under $160 with the coupon code LP20. Because it's over $99 it's free shipping too. They package well in case you haven't ordered from them before.

    They should stop 2nd reissues. I get Joshua Tree to a degree, but not 2nd servings of already reissued albums like Achtung. Move on in the catalog!

    The top 5 shows I've ever been too!

    No. I don't think anyone has - even the folks that have been continual long standing members are still waiting.
