  1. I was just thinking, I recall seeing somewhere on this forum that there was someone who really wanted them to play Bad and I'm sure it's been many years since they have, and the person was pessimistic about ever hearing it again. I'm willing to bet on the good possibility of that being on the playlist for this one, thinking it'll be a lot of very old stuff, everything up to and including JT  possibly being on their playlist. Let's hope!!

    They played Bad in Boston in the SOI tour, so I think it could def be in the set list.

     

    What I would like to see is JT and earlier albums played. However, like others here, I think we'll get a smattering of Beautiful Day, etc...

     

    It is interesting to see whether they will play the songs in order. U2 and Springsteen are mutual admirers of course, and Bruce was doing The River album tour last year. Now, that is a double album of course, so it is a bit different. He started the tour performing the album in sequence. We caught him on the last date. It was a 4 hour show and he had completely abandoned the format. So the set lists may evolve, partially depending on whim and partially on Bono's voice.

     

    Either way, it is great to have another opportunity to see the boys play!

  2. I've done Red Zone -- although you don't have to get there as early -- I'd get there a couple hours early at least (I think I got there around 3ish and was there first so I was on railing).  I can't remember if you have your "own" bathrooms but you can get in and out of your own entrance to the barricade easily and everyone was always nice about letting back to your "spot."  It's much roomier.  I've been seated in GA, lower bowl, and Red Zone.  Red Zone was my favorite!  Have fun with the kids!  :)

     

    Thanks angryduck71 - enjoy the tour!

  3. there is a sep enterance if it is anything like the last tour.  You are let in the venue right when the  ga are let in.  we were red zone but had access to the rail right in front of the band. Stage is much different this year so not really sure ghow the GA crowd will pool  to what area.

    red zone certainly was worth it , esp if you do not like to que for hr for a spot. also was a lot of room to move and not have a crush of peeople. We are red zone chicago  night one, ga for night two

    Thanks kipk999 - enjoy the Chicago shows!

  4. 8th U2 show and maybe psyched up for this one the most. Sat night Boston, 4 RZ tickets. I indoctrinated my Wife into U2 obsession years ago and we've been to several shows together since. My kids are now old enough (15 and 12 at the time of the show), so their first U2 show will be in the RZ (spoiling them for life). I have always done GA on the more recent tours. Those of you with more RZ experience, please give me some info. Seems like in the past there has been bar and restrooms inside the RZ. True? If you don't show up for the opening act, are the sight lines still likely Ok? I am 6' tall, but my youngest will be probably 5' by the show. Anything else I should know about RZ and kids?

     

    Can't wait!
