U2 "iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour" 2015

[George]

Yes!  2 more floors for both Montreal shows #3 and #4.


So, so, so easy this time.

I also got another GA for Chicago 4 and a seat for Chicago 3 (Still on the lookout for a GA, though).

But I can't help thinking everything's been far too easy. Is the demand still there? Is there any US/Canada show that is actually sold out? There are still tickets even for the opening night! I don't know if there's even a point in adding more shows. Bizarre.

I wasn't able to go to the US during 360º (had to wait until 2011 to see them in South America) but I remember the chaos on Vertigo Leg 1 ticket sales. This is sooo different. I am grateful for being able to score (almost) all the tickets I want, but on the other hand it leaves me worried about a future Stadium Tour.

[George]

I just (9:30 PM) went back to the Montreal sale site or nights 3 & 4.  Floor tickets are still available for both shows!  It's strange given that 360 sold out two consecutive nights.

Hopefully Bono will be ready for the start of the tour. That was one savage bicycle accident and I found it hard to even glance at the doctor's list of his injuries. If you see his A-Z letter in U2.com, it doesn't sound good at all. Best wishes to Bono. They say he may never play guitar again. I know that's a part of his comfort zone on stage and he enjoys that. Let's hope he can beat the odds. I don't see him feeling like himself performing for a while. Certainly takes the wind out of the tour buildup. Realistically, they should bump the tour start back a couple months.

[Aaron]

i'm pretty sure they know how his progress is going and what the chances are he'll be ready by May 14th.  They likely wouldn't have scheduled the tour at all if they didn't feel he'd be ready.  Nice to see that he's taking his time and getting some rest and letting things heal.

New city announced: DENVER on June 6th.  This one will sell out quickly.

EDIT: The next show isn't until Montreal on June 12th. So I'm guessing they may add a June 7 and/or June 8 show. If not, Denver will be the only single-stop city on the tour.

Some fascinating information about the construction of the tour and how a show will play out visually and aurally. Speakers on the ceiling pointing down? Excited for that sound. And a stage that splits the venue down the middle. Wow. And of course, Songs of Experience works in progress: "Red Flag Day,” “Civilization” and “Instrument Flying."

You beat me to it! That's a great article. Bono's blonde hair... wow.

[u2hmtmkmkm]

Right? At least you can count on Bono having a different look for each and every tour they've done.

I guess we can count on Invisible being in the set. And I hope that's exactly how Cedarwood Road sounds live. That haunting sound made it even better.

Anyone else out there doing the openers? 

[Brad]

Just sent you an email. 

[u2expert]

Just arrived in Vancouver. Just got email from TicketMaster regarding GA - "Please note, General Admission ticket holders will be able to begin lining up at 3:00 PM on the day of the show."

I have my doubts.

Cheers,

Now I got to find some fans! Going to the @U2 party later.

somehow the lens didn't crack

C'mon, let's hear about it...

I just read that Bullet The Blue Sky rap and two things are really striking. First, It is a testament to their musical ability that they can carry that crescendo for that amount of time. It doesn't stop, most artists play a crescendo about 1/8 of that time and then get distracted. They were all together in this one. No one got off of the musical train.

Saxaphone/Cellphone is also just WOW!
