See you soon?

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Comments: The list of Vertigo Tour dates shows on screen during City of Blinding Lights. A male fan plays piano during 'Wild Horses.' 'Love and Peace' is played for the first time since Auckland 1. The show ends with the band embracing their stage crew and Larry gets the final word: 'See you soon.'

One can dream but Im sure he means in 4 years from now

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

The show closed with a subdued rendering of “All I Want Is You,” as drummer Larry Mullen Jr. sent the crowd home with a smile: “See you soon.”

Soon will likely be in 2008, U2 manager Paul McGuinness tells Billboard.com. U2 will first regroup in the studio, with an eye on releasing its next album by late 2007.

This is insanely wonderful news... if it can be believed...

Bono also said "we won't leave it so long" during Kite at one of the Sydney shows too

Time to get dead serious about paying off my credit cards.

 

[*Ally*]

yup, the word on the street is that they hope to tour in 2008... we'll see if it actually happens, but i'm certainly keeping my fingers crossed!

We've heard that before, though.

Can't help but think : "In a theater near you."
Every time I read 'See you soon".
I know, I know.
It's actually coming soon to a theater near you.
I'm a bit
Then again wasn't there something about a 3D movie.

Yes, but remember Edge said that it might be a stretch to get an album in 2007, that five or six songs were on the road to being recorded but the rest aren't ready. They spent the summer in the studio this year and came up with two, and one was a cover of a Skids song.

I think Larry was just politely channeling the Mickey Mouse Club.

 

[J_NP]

Wouldn't complain thou

 

[Caroni]

How many times U2 fans have to pass through this process??? every one know they mean 4 years from now

 

[Blue Room]

Its on the internet, its going to happen!

Curious though, is there a link to the Billboard article quoting Paul McGuiness?

Yeah, here you go: http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003495346

You can´t loose hope

Interesting, I do put more credence in it if someone like Paul or Edge says something like that versus Bono. This is assuming Billboard quoted everything correctly and didnt read into anything.

I will still be surprised if they are gearing up for the road again a year from now. I wouldnt place any meaning on Larry's "See you soon" though as an indicator. Fortunately we will know in a year. I just hope that if it doesnt happen people around here dont lose it. The main thing is they do plan to make another album and tour again. Thats all that really matters IMO.

Oh, surely you know this place better than that! Whether or not U2 tour, people will be losing it and making incoherent posts. The only thing is whether the smileys will be or !

I'm just waiting to see if they'll do a press conference..

So Long probably means they won't leave us out for whatever the next tour is.

I think you failed to read the disclaimer in the fine print:

Well, if they decide to tour again in 2008 I hope that they do a better job of controlling ticket sales. The amount of tickets that get touted, either on ebay and its clones or the pro touts, is skyrocketing. Which means that we pay more and more. For this tour I stood in line as early as possible and I still only managed to get nose bleed seats. All those bastards going before you buying the maximum number of tickets (of which at least half ends up on ebay) is not good for morale. Or the number of times the internet connection of the ticket office crapped out because of internet sales.

I say no more then two tickets per person and no internet sales.

[tpsreports2424]

Internet sales are ok for me but it should really be not on ebay..

 

[Muad'zin]

Well, if you see three guys, who are clearly buddies of each other, getting the maximum of six tickets each, all GA, you know most of them are going to end up on ebay. And I find something morally wrong in having waited all night for tickets, only to have the ticket office run the same gauntlet on the internet as somebody who just woke up. You wanna go to a U2 show? Make the effort and get in line!

At least with waiting all night and getting 6 tickets, to sell half on ebay, at least a fan will make an extra buck. But for the touts the internet is a great tool to score more and more tickets at the expense of fans. I don't want to see corporate business relations getting free tickets to U2 shows when it could have been real U2 fans.

I'm not going to jump off a bridge or anything if it doesn't happen, but in the meantime-----

(no, i don't think this is accurate information, but why would they advertise this? i guess it's based on rumors.... weird.)

It will be a stretch if Rick Rubin is producing because he's working with Metallica in the new year for work on their new album.
