Tickets are going for less than face value on many sites. If anyone is interested then please contact me.
Park and Ride is Free, train ticket is a dollar still, I think. But now I think we'll end up paying the 20 bucks and parking because we are going to wait in line all day and at least we can bring stuff like chairs and rain coats in case it rains tomorrow. If you've got seats and can show up whenever you want, I recommend the park and ride.
Houston Press: 5 Great U2 songs even the band has probably forgotten about. http://blogs.houstonpress.com/rocks/2009/10/six_great_u2_songs_even_the_ba.php The stage at Reliant: http://www.flickr.com/photos/groovehouse/sets/72157622580798138/
http://blogs.chron.com/peep/2009/10/u2_in_the_open_air_maybe_1.html Even an open roof is newsworthy when U2 is involved: The Reliant Stadium roof is scheduled to be open for the U2 360° Tour tonight at Reliant Stadium, weather permitting. Fans should dress accordingly. Doors open at 5 p.m. Opening band Muse will begin at 7 p.m. with U2 to follow. The forecast calls for a 20-percent chance of rain and "stray" thunderstorms. Should we bring umbrellas? Lightning rods?
i hope they keep it closed. Even though it will be in the mid70s i don't really want to be stuck in 80% humidity with zero circulation.
i just bought my ticket this morning. im in the nosebleeds but o well, as long as i can hear the music ok. i usually like being at the very front but had a trip to save up for. im fine with what i have though. i dnt think muse are rip-offs. can't wait to hear them! super excited
Stories for Boys An Cat Dubh/Into the Heart Wire Seconds And they should go back to ending every show with 40. That was always so cool to have the crowd still singing it after they left the stage.
man, I can't make it out to this concert. I want to go. Good to see that they have Ultraviolet on the playlist.
A connected guy gave my friend a whole section of tickets in the 600's for nothin because the band is filming and they want it to look full... so we are going. I expect the sound to suck but I just want to see the spectacle. The biggest spectacle show I ever saw was the Steel Wheels Tour with the Stones in the Dome. That was a huge stage.
They could play Boy, War, and Achtung Baby back-to-back-to-back and I'd be happy. Actually, just Achtung Baby, as that is one of the top 5 CDs in rock and roll history. But, an ideal playlist would be one song from each of their 12 CDs, plus some extras to round it out: The Electric Co. October Like A Song Indian Summer Sky Where the Streets Have No Name Desire The entire Achtung Baby Stay Faraway So Close Staring at the Sun Stuck in a Moment City of Blinding Lights Magnificent Then, a cover of Wild Night from Van Morrison and Just from Radiohead, ending with "40," and the perfect U2 concert is complete. Seriously, all you crazy Houstonians have a great time at the concert. At the heart of it, past all the glitz and pomp, they really do put out a lot of great music, and it's great to be able to say stuff like, "yes, I was at the Zoo tour." Have a blast!!
I enjoyed the show, but the pacing seemed off to me. Also very disappointed that they didn't play Desire. Some of my friends complained about the acoustics, but I thought it sounded good. I sat in the 300 level even with the speakers. I saw a real shooting star with the roof open, so that was pretty cool too.
I'm looking at the setlist: http://www.u2gigs.com/show1598.html Your Blue Room they played something off Passengers (the secret u2 album)?? nice!
I wasn't expecting Mysterious Ways and Stuck In A Moment. But they were nice surprises. The remix for I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight was interesting.. good, interesting. And Muse was every bit as great as I was hoping them to be. Awesome show.
