Have any PLEBANs slept with Adam when he was off/on single over the past 25+ years?

This is the first and only ever photo I've ever seen from this performance http://www.flickr.com/photos/10052914@N00/424832532/

Who was better? Please be specific. I think Prince flattened U2's performance. Although u2 captured the post 9/11 US better than any actual American. U2's performance felt more scripted, and I think some of the Beautiful Day vocal was canned(when Bono walked through the crowd. u2fp

Is that technically possible?

I've seen this advertised for sale in several print ads for sale in Canada next tuesday. The ads say $9.99 for the single CD, $24.99 for CD/MILAN DVD and $14.99 for the music video collection. It's supposed to be a DVD collection of all their best videos up to now. Plus it has extras. One...

Have hotels and hostels been blocked booked around the tour? I'm not going, but I'm just curious. There seemed to be a huge demand for the 3/2006 shows, and I'm just wondering how it is for November.

Is it considered a success on this continent? Do the band feel less pressure playing these gigs? u2fp

He was jogging and visiting gyms during the 2001 tour. Did he keep this up on the 2004/5/6 tour?

There's already a best thread, now let's discuss the "flat" shows. My vote is for Seattle 1, further exagerrated by the fact they made up for it with the infamous Seattle 2. S1 was still way better than the Popmart show I saw. BTW, all "they never have a bad night" posts are not welcome in...

Is this the first tour where Bono has not ventured INTO the audience? I know he sometimes stands on the guardrails near the tip of the ellipse, but did he go INTO the crowd like all their other tours? u2fp

I was thinking the other day if Streets has ever had a snippet. I could only think of the bible verse in 2001 slight arrangement changes. Are there other u2 songs that are routinely played that NEVER feature any kind of snippetting? u2fp

9th - rehearsals 10th - rehearsals/telethons 11th - rehearsals/telethons(were they tape delay?) 12th - T.O. 1(w/soundcheck?) 13th - off day soundcheck(Mofo/Discotheque etc) 14th - T.O. 2(no soundcheck?) The last time Bono did this was likely the early 80's. u2fp

U2 re-aquainted themselves with Arenas several hours ago. -It was one of 4 Toronto shows, with the possibility of 4 different opening songs(vert, cobl, lapoe, aboy?) -There is a possability for multiple set closers(40, yahweh, vert, BAD?) -2 songs made their tour debut -Miss Sarajevo made...

It's been fixed in mid set since MAY. The 2nd telethon footage seems to indicate they remembered their flashlights and walking around the oval. Will it be used 50% of the time, or just in cities with more than 2 shows? Will it ever be used in a single show city? I'm, also curious to see what...

Will local fans bring reports from the private rehearsals, this Friday, Saturday and Sunday? This news was according to a Toronto Sun article from about 2 weeks ago. I came up with the most comprehensive setlist of the Vancouver rehearsals - now it's your turn. u2fp

I was wondering the other day if they could do Acrobat---->Zoo Station - like they did it at the Hershey dress rehearsal in 1992. it would be an immediate yardstick to find all of the hard-core u2 fans in the audience. Not sure how it would fit in with the lighting/screen. u2fp

I was reading the "best performance so far" thread and wondered about people who see multiple shows. I've seen 13 over 3 tours. How many audience members follow virtually the full tour on any given continent? I have met a couple people in the 50-100 range and 1 person in the 200 range of u2...

Is this the first U2 tour that's sold every single ticket put on sale in North America? This excludes last minute drops. Elevation had 3-4 shows that were a couple hundred short or were in Kentucky. Joshua had a couple hundred unsold tickets in a couple cities and 1-2 stadiums because people...

RE: U2's soundboard archive It's known that u2 record everything they play on their stage, and have done so since the early 80's. It's also presumed that they have kept the jumbotron footage from their shows for almost 20 years. Most of the 'soundboard' or monitor mix tapes that have...

Where's Otto? The semi-professional photographer that shot most of the popmart and elevation tour. The west coast is his home turf and I haven't heard a peep. Anybody know anything? U2FP

With all my u2 knowledge I was thinking about all the opening acts the group have had over the years. I was trying to think of an act would directly benefitted or had their reputation enhanced by playing on a bill with U2. No Doubt previewed their Rock Steady and went on to be a Arena act with...
