Kind of puts the Foo Fighters stage to shame.

Foo Fighters shouldn't feel bad, U2 puts a lot of aspects of other bands to shame. Doesn't mean the other bands stuff isn't cool, it's just not as cool as U2. ;)

Re: U2: No Line on the Horizon - March 3rd, 2009
 

How have the sales been so far?

Re: U2: No Line on the Horizon - March 3rd, 2009
 

For the concert or the CD?

Re: U2: No Line on the Horizon - March 3rd, 2009
 

But the Foo Fighters state is a Transformer!

Re: U2: No Line on the Horizon - March 3rd, 2009
 

They just finished the Final Dress Rehearsal...No Drowning Man...plus they snippeted Man in the Mirror (Figured they would slip in some MJ somewhere)

U2 are back, and their best song is back in the setlist!!

Re: U2: No Line on the Horizon - March 3rd, 2009
 

The first half of the set looks good with all of the new stuff. The second half looks pretty typical with only the above song really interesting me. Some of that stuff is tired. I understand having to play some hits, but they don't need that many. They should take all of those and play half of them each night. Then play the other half the next night. I was really hoping they would mix it up a little more this tour. Hopefully it will happen before they hit the states.

Re: U2: No Line on the Horizon - March 3rd, 2009
 

Well, the first recordings are hitting already, and I am 1/3 of the way through listening to the show...Love that they are re-tooling some of the older songs. There are some spectacular videos on YouTube.

Re: U2: No Line on the Horizon - March 3rd, 2009
 

Picked this up at the library during lunch. It's ok but I think the older stuff is better

Re: U2: No Line on the Horizon - March 3rd, 2009
 

At first I thought there was a mistake in the setlist since "I'll Go Crazy" is listed twice. It seems as though it's correct though. According to U2.com, they played two different versions of the song.

Re: U2: No Line on the Horizon - March 3rd, 2009
 

Glad to see they will be mixing up a few tracks. Hopefully they continue to tweak the setlist during the tour.

That first version is horrible. I hope they get that out of their system before I see them.

Re: U2: No Line on the Horizon - March 3rd, 2009
 

Man, I'd like to rip half of those tunes out of the setlist and do a lottery drawing to replace them. Could only improve.

For those that own Blackberries check out: http://www.blackberry.com/u2.

I just saw a trailer for this before a movie last night so I checked it out on my Blackberry and basically signed up for a mailing list. As soon as the App is available they will send me an email letting me know.

Re: U2: No Line on the Horizon - March 3rd, 2009
 

MLK, Unforgettable Fire, Party Girl, Electrical Storm = Awesome.

They have SO muc to draw from, I'd love to see more along those lines...

Re: U2: No Line on the Horizon - March 3rd, 2009
 

I guess their affair with Apple is over...

Re: U2: No Line on the Horizon - March 3rd, 2009
 

I am looking to get tickets to the show in Tampa. I know the tour is called the 360 tour so I am assuming that if I get seats behind the "stage" I will still be able to see everything well.

Re: U2: No Line on the Horizon - March 3rd, 2009
 

I don't know this for a fact, but I believe the legs of the stage could be in the way at certain vantage points. I bought four tickets in the upper deck behind the stage for the Georgia Dome and it certainly looked like some seats would have a partially blocked view. In fact, the cheapest seats found on Ebay all have that problem. Directly behind the stage and a couple of sections to the left or right looked okay. Again, I'm not 100% sure about this.
