First three songs are good but after that we take a trip into blandsville....

Really?  I love the heavy groove on Love and Peace... I would think you'd say "First four songs are good" at least. 

I haven't heard "Fast Cars", is it still included on the album or was it a limited time deal?

[Eeebs]

Well, I have tickets to their September 14th show in Toronto... just on a side note, for someone who is into reducing world debt, Bono and crew surely do have extremely high ticket prices!!

[sl@sh]

i went to one of their  anaheim  shows (GA baby)

will go to see them again when they come back in november!!

I got the "Bonus" edition with the art work and the DVD on the day the CD was released. Fast Cars is included on that version of the CD. I wouldnt buy it just for that song but the DVD material is pretty good: Acoustic "Sometimes You Cant Make It On Your Own", Acoustic "Vertigo" with Edge playing a banjo, and somethingelse I'm forgetting at the moment.

I find it to be a really uninteresting album

If anyone goes to http://www.atu2.com

or has been following the tour setlist so far its been pretty dissappointing, not really that much tunes from All That You Cant Leave Behind, and its been predictable.

http://www.u2tours.com/

I plan on somehow getting tickets when they come to Toronto, I'm a fan of playing new songs and new shit, but ya its pretty predictable tour which is kinda gay. Sponteaneous setlists and mixing it up is alot better then same ole same ole.

I went to the second show in San Diego.  It was an amazing show.  We were only 10 feet from the stage.

Beautiful Philadelphia
Philadelphia was beautiful again last night.

Arcade Fire?s Wake Up fades out and a disembodied voice - ?everyone, everyone, everyone? - fades up, five huge burning red lamps lift off into the roof of the stage as a single orange spot plays on The Edge.

The second show in Philadelphia opens with City of Blinding Lights, with a huge illuminated curtain descending around the stage, spangling confetti falling from the ceiling and Bono emerging at the tip of the elipse, hands raised in expectation. ??Oh you look so beautiful Philadelphia??

This was an audience that made their presence felt from the off. The ovation that greets Elevation finds the singer responding, ?That?s Philadelphia for you?? which provokes an even greater roar. And what a treat to find Gloria back in the set tonight, with a special nod to Adam Clayton and one of his signature bass lines. ??Tattoo Boy? ? as he is dubbed by Bono ? finds himself helped up on stage during Beautiful Day and takes his moment of fame with style, yelling his lungs out in undisguised pleasure.

?We?ve had a great past in this band but the thing that excites us most is the future,? raps Bono as the song closes. ?What it holds in science and technology and the idea that the world can change shape and be better. We believe God is inspiring scientists and doctors and nurses, we met someone today at the airport and this is for the little baby she is carrying?this is Miracle Drug.?

Larry comes to the fore for Love and Peace or Else, standing at the tip of the elipse and duetting with Bono, before eventually giving way to the singer who takes on the single drum like a man possessed. Edge, meanwhile, is flailing his guitar to a thrilling climax. This ?war and peace? chapter in the show is increasingly a stand-out, and tonight no exception. The reception for Sunday Bloody Sunday fairly raises the roof while a terrifying opening to Bullet the Blue Sky gives way to all kinds of new meanings the song never used to conjure up. ?Johnny come marching home again, hurrah, hurrah,? sings Bono as the track closes, before dedicating Running to Stand Still to ??the brave men and women of the United States military.?. This one closes with ?Alleluiah, alleluiah? as the powerful words of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights scroll down the screens above.

Human rights is still the theme as Pride In The Name of Love gives way to Where The Streets Have No Name and One ? this time, as every night, the human rights in question are those of the people of Africa, living in poverty. ?From Dr King?s America to Nelson Mandela?s Africa? the?. Journey?. Of ?. Equality? moves? on.?

Another great show in another great city. Here?s the set list.

I'll be seeing them on June 14th & 15th....i don't really like them but i work for the security firm doing the concert, so i'm being paid to watch them...it's only right

[Genesis]

This is shit, but i'm bored so.... At the start of U2's Vertigo, Bono counts down "uno dos tres ... catorce!" If he means four, shouldn't he have said 'cuatro'? If i remember my spanish, catorce is 14... (He even holds up 4 fingers while saying this in the video). Aww what the fuck anyway...

I wondered about this the first time I heard the song!  I thought it was just me though because I've mentioned it some friends and they looked at me like I had 3 eyes. 

[Jamie]

Maybe it's Bono's new super-intelligent way of counting, and from here he's goin to make an entire new language, that only him and the Edge can understand and U2 are goin to use it to take over every major international government and enslave the world. 

[Sakib]

actually, its prob just a wierd count. for example, at the begining of a song cornchucker, they count 5,6, 72

[GNFNRS]

Does anyone have or know someone that has an extra ticket for Sept. 14th in Toronto?
