Administrators U2Community Posted November 6, 2015 Administrators Share Posted November 6, 2015 If you have been up on stage this year with the band on the #U2ieTour you have a chance to do it again in Paris this weekend. Many who have been up have been contacted already, but if you are one of those who we have not been able to get int touch with, please read this and send in your details asap http://www.u2.com/news/title/anyone-for-paris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Cindy_T Posted November 9, 2015 Subscriber Share Posted November 9, 2015 Huh? Certain fans who already received special attention during the tour get special attention again? How about giving the fans who have never been on stage a chance to fulfill a dream?Even though I have friends who fit the criteria and were invited to Paris for this contest, I cheer for the fans who haven't yet had their minute on stage.

Subscriber allad1nsane00 Posted November 9, 2015 Subscriber Share Posted November 9, 2015 AFAIK this is a special occasion ONLY for the live HBO event. The band wants to make sure that they have a "known" quantity that interacts with them well onstage and won't do anything crazy on live TV.

Subscriber ctwoof Posted November 10, 2015 Subscriber Share Posted November 10, 2015 I agree, it'd be great to allow more people to have such an amazing experience, but since it's a contest of only those who've already been up, I hope you'll consider someone who wants to represent all of us and that's me: https://youtu.be/wVkpPIP5ROg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber kevfly82 Posted November 10, 2015 Subscriber Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) Thank you U2 and U2 Community/ Zoo Mods. I was on stage in Chicago 6/28/15 and sang Desire with the band while my new friend that day Shawn Golley who is nearly blind played acoustic guitar. It was one of the most energetic moments of my life, only behind watching my wife give birth to our daughter Evelyn this year months before the Chicago show & skydiving with my brother (2 separate events!). I hope I get the opportunity to represent the U2 fan community- I could feel the embrace of the crowd and the band and it was such a great feeling that I totally understand where the guys hit a comfort zone up there on stage. All I kept thinking was 'don't screw up and make the hardcore fans proud'. We didn't get to perform the whole song so we have unfinished business! That's why we need to get to Paris Here's a video of our performance, we come in around 2:30 mark around there. Please give Shawn and I your vote. Thank you! -Kevin Crabtree Edited November 10, 2015 by kevfly82 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about giving the fans who have never been on stage a chance to fulfill a dream? Another 2 fingered salute to the fans, over 30 years following, going to gigs, buying merchandise, buying records, cds, dvds, books, fan club subscriptions etc etc just like millions of others and never once got so much as an autograph, cheers lads.

Or, depending on your gaze, a fantastic opportunity for someone other fans want to see back up on the e-stage, and on the telly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber edgesdancingqueen Posted November 10, 2015 Subscriber Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) Oh the suspense of all of this is KILLING ME!!!!! We were never asked to submit a story or a "case" but I will say, that if chosen for this ultimate U2 honor, I will BRING it. It would be really nice if a couple of fans were chosen, for different fan moments. We shall see, I guess!
