    No shit.

    So you live in Vegas now?

    BTW, U2 is a great band, if you don't listen to anything they've made in the last 20 years

    I like a lot of their new stuff, too.

    Yeah, I live in Vegas.

    Have put off seeing them long enough, this seems like the perfect opportunity and not be bombarded with post-Achtung crap. Lumineers opening up doesn't hurt either.

    I pretty much only like their post 90's on stuff. I'm not a fan of their first couple albums at all. Joshua Tree is great of course, but I heard it so much on the radio growing up that it might as well be Mariah Carey or Seal. Love All That You Can't Leave behind and on. But I'll take the early hits live. They really do put on the best show around.

    I was hoping they'd make another trip to Colorado since both the Lumineers and One Republic will be included in their opening acts and both are Denver based.

    I'm not the biggest U2 fan. They're just okay to me. I do like Drowning Man, and City Of Blinding Lights though.

    Somehow scored floor GAs at MetLife for the them on my first try. Applaud them for keeping them at $70 (around $95 w/fees). Thats unheard of for a band like this now-a-days. Really excited to finally see them.

    Floors are basically the only thing available still in Houston. Scalpers obviously scooped up all the cheap seats and won't touch the floor since you have to show the CC used to gain entrance.

    I got shutout in NY for the 3rd straight tour. I am never going to see this band. they should open more shows for this area. Been trying to see U2 since 2005 and can never pull tickets.

    they added a second day the night after.

    I was worried about the CC swipe cause you never know when the concert is 4 months away, but its the right thing to do. Id gladly pay for $90 for the slight inconvenience I wont be able to use them worse comes to worse

    scored El Cheapo's at Gillette for $40 per ticket in the uppers. I figured I'll see just fine and hear just fine.

    Good to hear. I'm just hoping for City of Blinding Lights. Only know the hits of JT. 360 tour was a lot of fun.

    I feel like I shouldn't see U2 again because I can't see them topping the 360 Tour.

    But playing Joshua Tree in full is pretty tempting. I do love that record.

    I fall somewhere between thinking they're awesome and they're okay. If I'm in the mood to listen to them I always really enjoy it. Joshua Tree is a fantastic album and their hits are really catchy and enjoyable. I have no issues with them like some people do.

    I've always thought they missed the boat on releasing the HTDAAB outtake of Mercy as a b-side. It's an epic stream-of-consciousness masterpiece. The 2010 live version pales mightily in comparison.

    Been listening to the U2 360 boot from Sheffield. Great show. Unknown Caller and City of Blinding Lights are my fave U2 "newer" songs.
