I'll be at the Wed show. I have to say I don't entirely agree with the way they are handling general admission entry into the pit. Lottery system….. give me a fuckin break.

Knowing Bono….you'll have to pay for the lottery ticket as well as your concert ticket.

I grew up in Florida, so I have no idea about the Bayou days.

Rumor has it they opened for The Slickee Boys once at The Bayou.

sigh…I remember when that show came around. I was in high school and couldn't get anyone to drive to College Park with me, so I bailed. :(

Yes, THE Bruce. Though it was hard to hear him sing over the "BROOOOOOOOCE" chants.

I noticed before the show that they have banners hanging in the rafters alongside all the Flyers and 76ers banners for the consecutive number of sellouts by Springsteen and Billy Joel.

Yep.
Wed-Floor
Thr-100s

Hopefully the political comments – which, admittedly, work well within any U2 experience – won't get too overstretched in a D.C. appearance.

Should be great two nights!

I thought I responded to your email address, but I probably screwed it up somehow. I just sent you a PM.

I thought about that too but looks like the club is booked both nights.

re: post show gig:

So doubtful, esp since Bono prob. has too many politico-types to hang with.

BTW:
MCI says:
8:45 to 11:00 for the boys, following a 1/2 hour intermission, following Damien Marley's 7:30 start

Bags, you'll LOVE Social D. I am way excited for this show. It's been 4 years since they've been to the Club.

No, no surpise club dates on this tour. Last tour they did Irving Plaza in NY before the album was released. I am in NYC now or I'd love to see Rattle and Hum again on the big screen.

Oh, you be betty, you weren't even alive in '83? I first saw this band on December 13, 1980!!! I (gulp) was your age and had the same concert problem with my parents you are having now. I snuck out to see U2…I just had to. Didn't get caught (phew) and told them years later….they laughed. Not recommending that for you, though. ;) Yikes, coming up on 25 years ago!

Probably like many, I have the 1990 album with "Ball and Chain". But that's it. I'm up for it, so if I get these tickets, I'm in!!
