Re: U2 360° North American Tour
It looks like the setlist for the last few has been pretty static. They seem to have dropped Unknown Caller and a couple of other interesting songs they were working in in favor of Mysterious Ways and Stuck In A Moment. Ugh. Not looking as forward to the show tomorrow night as I was on the last tour, where the setlist was a little more imaginative.

Re: U2 360° North American Tour
I'm not even expecting a ton of deep tracks. 1/3 new stuff, 1/3 hits, 1/3 deep cuts and album tracks. Seems like everyone goes home happy in a situation like that. I'm just tired of U2 playing the same stuff tour after tour. Do we really need all 4 singles from All The You Can't Leave Behind to be played again?

Anyone interested in how they created and run the 360 tour should read this. Found it on the U2 fan forums.
http://www.digico.biz/docs/articles/..._July09_U2.pdf
It details the creation of the spaceship, stage, sound, lighting, video, etc. Its long and full of details but really worth the read.

Well if you are a fan then I think you missed a whole lot. I know people who don't even care for U2 all that much that went and were blown away by the whole experience that evening.

Re: U2 360° North American Tour
And I saw in a local forum the next day a bunch of people with plenty to bitch about (song list, sound in a big arena, 360 with little action being 360). Listen, I would have gone if I could have, but having seen them three times in the past... eh, not a biggy.

I heard the sound was pretty crappy in ATL since it's domed. My Raleigh show was great. Muse kicked ass, and U2 was great that night.

Re: U2 360° North American Tour
When to the Dallas show.It took me all day yesterday to recover.Got in the GA line at 4:45.Finally got in at 5:45.Was on outer rail Edges side,about 3 people back.I think Muse would have been better if everybody around us had not been over the top teenage fans.As Chrisedge has always said "Screamers Suck".One kid said he loved Muse so much that he would "Service all of them with my mouth".
Out of my 9 shows I've seen U2,this would be 4th best.11\87,4\92 and Elevation Vegas were better.It could have been better if:
Sound was good but not great.a bit muddled.
Seemed like alot of the Dallas Posers were on the floor.They don't care who is playing,they just want to be seen.
If they play San Diego next year,My wife and I will go for sure.

The Raleigh show was the best concert I have heard for any live act I've seen. Sound was as good as its gets for a live show. The mix was perfect for both bands.

Everything I have read is that the floor is not the best place to be. Yes you are up close but to experience the shows full impact the better seats are away from the stage. We were in the upper sections of Carter-Finley and it was incredible. The 360 screen and the video show make it feel like you are on the floor anyways.

I was on the floor at Charlottesville and had a great experience. First the sound was amazing, especially for a stadium show. I wasn't super up close but still had a good view of the band and the complete stage/screen.

Checking out the Rose Bowl show in a couple of weeks. FOr anybody who's already attended and had floor tix, where's the best spot to hang out? I am thinking of avoiding the inner circle and opting to find a spot near the mixing desk instead.

I know there were some complaints about the sound, but I must have been in a sweet spot. I thought both Muse and U2 sounded fine from my seat.

The Red Zone seemed like it would be a pretty crappy place to be stuck watching the show.

Re: U2 360° North American Tour
Best spots on the floor? For me it would be:
#1 inner circle, frontish side! (You could be in front of red zone, but it's not so crowded)
#2 outer rail (Expect to wait for this spot)
#3 Soundboard area (Still a great view but not crowded at all)
Out of my 3 shows, I've done inner circle twice (Adams side, front edge side) and then about 1/3 way back from ring in middle of floor.
My next two shows I have seats for...

nice!
As a U2.com subscriber, we wanted you to be first with some breaking news - this Sunday the band's 360° Show at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena will be filmed for a dvd.
As they're drafting in more cameras to create a great film, the band has decided to allow it to be streamed live on YouTube.
It'll be officially announced later today but at 8.30pm (PT) on Sunday, wherever you are in the world don't miss the chance to see the show live and uninterrupted online. See a clip on You Tube.
As well as being able to watch the show, we'll bring our subscribers news as the week progresses from our video reporter on the ground. We'll also have bulletins from Director Tom Krueger and other exclusive video footage from backstage over the weekend.
Stay tuned, should be quite a night...
