Me too... not my first U2 shows, but the first time I had the proper live U2 experience that I'd always dreamed of. I will never forget that weekend. (I wrote it up in great detail afterwards and shared our photos here, for anyone who is interested.)

There are some early Pop cover designs here with different titles: http://www.u2songs.com/news/pop_reissued_remastered_collected_and_dreams http://www.u2interference.com/forums/f195/stealing-hearts-at-a-travelling-show-large-scans-201099.html

Yeah, it was more than £105 on Amazon when I first checked, then dropped to £75 after a while. I didn't pre-order it because I still thought that was a bit much - I was hoping the price would eventually come down further, as it had done for earlier reissues - but I lost my nerve when it kept going out of stock, so I bought it just after the release date which only cost a few pence more than the pre-order price. Thankfully it was worth the money!

I bought it online for just over £75 when it came out.

The Vertigo Tour was so special for me that I made a whole website about the experience. Very, very fond memories. It's a shame the official DVD really doesn't reflect the tour we saw in Europe, and they never released the full Milan show or U2 3D in a home video format.

Yep, it's fixed - thanks Mich!

The stream appears to be broken at the moment...

I thought it was meant to be like a sunrise, which is very fitting as it often follows the "darkness" songs.

I finally figured out where the link appears (other than in the original news article) - it's one of the rolling features at the top of the front page. You have to click on the second of the four spots underneath, then on the red 'More here...' rectangle.

I dreamt last night that U2 were, for unknown reasons, recording a new album in my house (and I had the feeling it was not the first time they'd done so). They seemed to be busy in some room that doesn't exist in real life, but Edge came out for a chat, which was lovely. He told us an anecdote that I'd read in an online interview the day before, and I thought it was so much cooler hearing it in person!

Mine arrived this afternoon, much to my surprise as the online tracking gave no indication that it was even on its way yet!

I loved him as Frodo in the BBC radio play, too. And fondly remember Sunday teatimes watching The Borrowers as a kid! A sad loss indeed.

God, I hadn't even thought about that... spooky indeed!

Woohoo, I've got a shipping email now too.

I've just been told about #TimsTwitterListeningParty on Twitter, run by the Charlatans' Tim Burgess (https://timstwitterlisteningparty.com/). It seems to be like our DVD-watching parties but with classic albums, and the artists themselves join in with relevant anecdotes. Would be great to have the U2ers involved in something like this!
