I've sworn off all traditional social media of late...so here I am...crawling back to this place. That makes it sounds worse than it is. Really. ? I'm so excited about this tour... I think there is so much potential for an amazing bunch of shows...geared to us with the experience under our belts. ?? I will checking it out both nights in San Jose...it's coming up quick! Right on! I'll be in San Jose on May 7 (GA). I also had tickets for May 8 (GA), but was forced to sell them, because my daughter's band happens to be playing in San Francisco that night as well, and over my inner protest, I decided to be loyal and go to that show instead. It's really hard not to go to both U2 shows. In 2015 I used the first night to figure things out, as well as enjoying the show, and then I knew exactly where to stand the second night. Also, the set list has interesting variations on Night Two. Plus, I don't really get enough of the U2 experience unless it's two nights in a row, so that it really sinks in. I'm bummed about missing the second show, but excited about the first show. Oh, and as for me... I was turned on to U2 in 1983, after hearing "Sunday", "New Year's Day", and "Two Hearts" on the radio. They quickly became my favorite band, and my first show was during the Unforgettable Fire tour, in Offenbach, Germany (January 1985). I've been to something like 20 or 25 shows over the years, but always regret not being able to attend more shows. Edited April 19, 2018 by Rich T. .

My bf is in his early 50s and remembers listening to War over and over on his very awesome Sony Walkman. Some co-workers have told me JT defined thier college years unlike any other music of the time. I saw bits on FB a while back from be fan in thier 20s who lived in NJ and ATYCLB was the album that got them through 2001 with clarity. AB was it for me... I remember being a impressionable tween and U2 being part of the media blitz that took me from innocent to experience, so to speak. ?All I wanted was to see Zoo TV. Their were some riots going on in LA and I was outraged that police officers were allowed to beat a black man without consequence. JFK, the Oliver Stone film had just come out. In retrospect, the film is outrageous but at the time, I was dumbstruck that our own government could even be implicated in such things. Everything was not as it should be. Then there is Bono confirming that everything I know is a lie. It was perfectly leading up to a new US president who I was certain would make everything better. He didn't. Zooropa followed and I just discovered foriegn films and Portishead and anime. It all fit perfectly. I was hooked. ❤️❤️ I didn't make it to see Zoo TV but my first show was PopMart. It was amazing and I have not missed a show that's come around to CA since. ?? I've been heavily into every single U2 album starting with "War", whenever a new album has come out. I had to backtrack to get into "Boy" and "October". Actually, the first time that I have not gotten heavily into listening to a new album has been this time, with SoE. Sure, I've listened to all the songs many times, but I'm not super into the album. But I will be, by the time I attend the show on May 7 in San Jose. I'm excited that U2 is mixing things up a bit this time, and performing some tracks that haven't seen the light of day in a while, if ever. I always much prefer seeing U2 perform what's new, plus some non-singles from the past. I don't need them to play the "big" songs every tour. I also thought it was a great thing that they had the dedicated Joshua Tree tour last year, and now they're getting back to the new, and not playing any songs from that album this time around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am certain your daughter's band is going to blow the roof off the place. ? I did both nights at the Rose Bowl last year and it was SO cool! Such a different vibe each night. I'm so glad I am able to do two nights again. I get to go to church two nights in a row! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is like "church" in the sense of feeling uplifted and connected, even without the religious part. Last year I did Santa Clara and then Rose Bowl (2nd night). Edited April 19, 2018 by Rich T. .
