So here we go. My show 1&2 posted in other thread. Nite 4 was great. Gloria a huge plus for this old timer. Stuck in a Mo.was a nice addition and loved the encore. Singing 40 in the halls leaving and hoping its not 4 years for them to return..Night 1 wins out for the WOW effect and insane crowd. Nt 2 good but 4 was a great final show. ....hum maybe a New York roadtrip in the making.....

Hum....I have my own page running here. I know there is a main page for posts as show occurs and there after BUT ?????? WHERE ARE THOSE BOSTON U2 DIEHARDS.....? well anyway show 3 for me tonite, #4 -Boston 7/15, another review post from me - yet to come

HERE IS A NEW TOPIC PAGE FOR ANY ALL , REVIEWS , THOUGHTS , ETC ON BOSTON , NIGHTS 1-2-3-4.... U2jerry, here, For me night 1 was the overall better show , the set list a little heavier , the 4 song encore and of course BAD......BUT MY SHINING MOMENT was enjoying the show with my 14 yearold son , his first. our group this night was 8 , and 4 people were first timers. All were completely blow away buy the - U2 EXPERIENCE- and several want to go to another show. On night 1 , the crowd singing the entire song ONE as BONO guided us along , but I must admit on night two as the crowd sang ONE again it much louder..More so, I was shocked they did this back to back but a nice touch. Night 2, our group of 16 went...different set list and always welcome changes especially those spur of moment ones, BAD was just unreal , a LIVE_AID flash back , walking along the wild side and realizing 28 years of seeing these boys over 30 times in 28 years just was so incredible as I remember working the day of LIVE AID , my VCR [wtf ??haha.] rolling and running home , blown away - WERE AN IRISH BAND ....WE COME FROM.....and 12 minutes later I was hooked for life,By far the bands biggest moment and put the on the so called map, the song BAD also has a personal meaning for me as my only brother passed some years ago, so the back - to back - playing over two shows was one of my greatest U2 memories of all time. So now on a lighter note, night 2 had the crowd energy early and an fantastic late half of the show but a downer was only a 2 song encore. I found out later that S.H.F.W.I.L.F , was to be the song the crowd sang or The Troubles and then end with ONE. they ended at 10;45 so there was time for another song or two....but in the end a small gripe for an amazing show. Major props to the Band for the #BOSTONSTRONG............and BONO acknowledging the 23 shows ,and Boston being like a second home.....It was fitting for night 1 &2. this fan is taking a pass on show 3, But will be in the house closing night !.. peace, u2jerry

ANDREW , I hope to go all 4 , and a New York one --have first 2 shows and my friends swap out tix and hook each other up so everyne can go. Hit up my proflie there a some of my older posts under BLOGS but alot got lost along the way. I have gone to close to 30 shows since 1983, and several out of state shows.Really want to go to an Ireland gig, but $$$,Like many U2 are my favorite band and July can't come fast enough. Kind of venting here but at one time was an Original fan club member in 1981-( PROPAGANA) but had a bit of falling out w/ U2.COM back in 2010, over Pre-sales and seniority , many of us were ---uhm-- screwed but that was back then . This site sort of grew too fast but it really has a lot to offer so I just do the public thing...anyway check these out [ google sites]if you hav'ent COVER BAND , --2U , , best one around they actually tour !!! , and @u2.com , really cool site.. later, u2jerry

HI ALL, crazy early for all this but alot of fun to plan out esp those traveling to BOSTON - CITY OF CHAMPIONS !!!!! GO PATS...2015 I have been off line here for a few years and glad to get active again, FIRST major props to Andrew that is great list / guide some things I will add is Boston is a great walking town , so look up walking tours not just the Freedom Trail. Also, the local U2 TRIBUTE BAND IS - JOSHUA TREE- they play the HARP, across street from Garden every time U2 plays in Boston before and after shows. A couple of tips, a must is Doyles [ a true Irish pub] great food n drink,, , on MBTA orange line, Forest Hills stop, and they run free SAM ADAMS tours from there by trolly 3 -4 blocks away mostly 7 days a week, Do got to Regina Pizza *** THE NORTH END ONE !!!! , and check BOSTON CALENDER and BOSTON.COM closer to show dates for things to do, music, clubs...etc SEE YOU IN JULY U2jerry
