  1. Too true - I’ve been surprised at those who’ve been scoping this tour. They’ve really stuck with it despite the drain on their phone batteries. I need to tune into a audio feed.
  2. Waiting for a consistent Scooe of tonight’s show - one started during The Blackout then dropped ?
  3. Listening to the Noel opening song makes me sad I’m not there. Good show to all who are in Omaha!
  4. It has been acoustic at every show so far on the tour and based on how the "e" stage set runs, I would guess it will stay that way - Larry switches to bongos, Edge straps on an acoustic guitar and afterwards, they go into Staring at the Sun acoustic as U2DieHarPerez mentioned above. I'd LOVE to hear a full version of YTBTAM. When we saw them play it on the Joshua Tree Anniversary tour it was also acoustic so I've yet to see it full electric. If I had my choice the band wouldn't play anything acoustic I like them at their full electric power at all times. That being said, it's a nice moment.
  5. Damn, we lost a song tonight (Gloria & Red Flag Day for ABOY), the band went on about 10min later than they had been - may have had something to do with it but had such a great time. Very lengthy words before Staring At the Sun tonight. Good to hear Bono speak so much on my last US show. We got those blasted Forum wristbands again vs the NORTH SIDE/SOUTH SIDE U2 wristbands for the floor. Bah. Met so many nice people on these five dates, I ♥️ U2 fans. Now the long wait until October and the UK...
  6. Glad you made it out alive with your scary walk and/or drive through the hood depending on where you parked. Congrats! Beverly Hills traffic and parking aren’t much better so I’m not connecting your parking issues with where the venue is located but whatevs. Welcome to living in a city with varying neighborhoods. If you thought Inglehood was clever or funny and instead someone (me) said it was tacky remember you posted it on a public forum which welcomes commentary naturally. All I know is I’m going to the show again tonight and am excited about it. End scene.
  7. The political comments and commentary on the bands' position is always a fascinating read for me. Seeing the opening of the tour in Tulsa and St. Louis where judging by the TRUMP bumper sticker count in those cities alone vs. Los Angeles, 45 supporters appeared to be far higher in those cities but there was a lot less complaining here about their visuals and/or what he says during the show. Interesting to say the least. I'm not here to change anyone's mind or convince anyone of anything but I do think the band is expressing their views as they always have and really, pointing out that no matter who you support the KKFreakinK marching the streets in the US proudly once again is madness. It's not their fault these maniacs wore MAGA hats and support 45. In terms of pandering to women, I can't with those comments. He has women in his life that he loves and he realizes the struggle of women the world over (and no, I'm not about to sit here and list example after example out for anyone) and the band supports those of all sexes through both the ONE Campaign and (RED). https://www.one.org/us/about/ #LoveIsBiggerThanAnythingInItsWay
  8. Inglehood - tacky Re: venue selection: Clearly you missed when they played FIVE nights at the Forum on the i+e tour a short 2-ish years ago. The Forum is an awesome venue post-renovation, especially where sound is concerned. Re: wristbands: they’ve had branded bands for GA in at least the last three tours including the shows I’ve seen on this tour in other cities. My guess - something went wrong or a delivery didn’t make it and the Forum had to provide bands in a pinch without notice. Just a guess but I thought it strange that all of a sudden there weren’t NORTH SIDE/SOUTH SIDE U2 wristbands when we arrived last night.
  9. If it helps anyone for tonight, I arrived at 6:30/6:45 last night and the lot was already getting full. If it’s possible, I’d arrive early to avoid frustration this evening. Band went on around 8:35/8:40.
  10. I’m sure this has already been said but WE GOT RED FLAG DAY finally. I’ve seen four of seven shows on the tour and they played at the three I hadn’t seen up to this point It sounded so good - stoked. I have no voice left. Oh, and I finally caught pages falling from the ceiling tonight!
  11. I don’t like it when we lose songs (especially Red Flag Day which I’ve not seen live yet!) but it was a great show. Our seats were fantastic and the kiddo had a good time. Now sleep.
  12. I’m actually looking forward to seeing the boys (and this screen) from seats tonight. I hope they keep Gloria and Red Flag Day in the set, we didn’t get them in Tulsa & St. Louis.
  13. Flew in this AM, already by the pool with a cocktail. Can’t wait for tonight - let the Mother’s Day weekend festivities begin!
  14. OF COURSE no Gloria in Tulsa and St Louis ❤️ ? Hope to hear it at one of the two LA shows!
  15. Ok now I don’t feel bad about not getting this shirt in Tulsa - when I didn’t see one in St Louis, I thought for a moment that they only made this tee for opening night and I (stupidly) passed on buying one after the show.
  16. Anyone Periscoping the two San Jose shows? Leave your handle here and which night you're attending if so!
  17. Typically there has been a check-in sign/flag placed for Red Zone ticket holders so it's easy to spot. In Tulsa, it was right next to the GA entrance. In St. Louis it was close as well.
  18. Some of my fav Bono lyrics, one of the reasons why I love Crumbs so much...
  19. I second CRUMBS!! My fav song on HTDAAB
  20. Lost three, gained one, show still had some early tour bugs. Acrobat was great tonight but still needs tightening - I hope they keep with it and don’t drop it, it’s so great live. Had a wonderful spot at the e stage (1 person from rail) and was cool to be there compared with our rail spot mid screen in Tulsa. The rail is great but makes seeing the visuals hard. I loved seeing these two shows but I’m looking forward to flying home and sleeping in my own bed. Until Los Angeles x2 (unless I end up at Vegas night 2...). Keeping my fingers crossed for some Red Flag Day action.
  21. I’m at Maggie O Brien’s pre-gaming - they’re supporting our boys with an all U2 playlist. Going to wander over at 6 for doors and will be happy with wherever I land on the floor. If you see me with my THE LARRY MULLEN BAND shirt on tonight give a wave (wore the same in Tulsa) Have a good show tonight all!
