QUEBEC, Jun 29, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) — The Hippodrome de Montreal will be transformed into a City of Blinding Lights when U2 brings its 360 degrees World Tour to this island metropolis for Friday and Saturday night performances July 8-9, 2011.
All set and easy to view the U2 Show stream
From all accounts the lived up to its expectations – What was clear that U2 fans did not have to deal with tax protesters for long –
Last night U2 left their comfort zone of the highest-grossing tour in history to play to their toughest audience yet at the UK’s Glastonbury music festival.
U2 will make their first UK festival appearance since the early 1980s later when they headline Glastonbury.
Well now that’s impressive – Amazing show – looks like the boys are in fulll swing and off they go !
The next time the Ravens win a game at M&T Bank Stadium, they should be so lucky to get the kind of response four 50-something Irish guys got there Wednesday night.
Thousands of fans – the stadium estimated some 80,000 – welcomed U2 for their first regional show in two years like Bono and company had just ended the N.F.L lockout.
We checked this one out and well they are amazing. Its worth checking out if your in town –
U2 arrives in Nashville on Saturday, July 2nd. The last time they were in the area was 1987, so there is a good amount of buzz in the air as the date nears. And when U2/Nashville rumors started flying, I began plotting and scheming to create a party where our U2 tribute band could play for U2 fans.
By BEN WENER: We can split hairs over whether U2’s first show at Angel Stadium this past weekend was fully awesome — a perfectly paced concert as moving and meaningful as their Rose Bowl blast just before Halloween 2009 — or whether it was simply as impeccable as the Irishmen’s performances always are. I’m apparently a cynical, narcissistic, arrogant jerk for suggesting in my admittedly overlong first review that some indefinable spark — some touch of magic — was missing.
That’s it all the trucks packed up, vans on the way to the airport and MM is on the road to Baltimore. Anaheim was different. Yea we mean that – One night the fans seemed flat, stuffy and well frankly OLD as one tweet said. Yea U2 fans are getting older but that does not mean they can’t rock. The second night proved that fans really did miss the boys and the crowd swung into action and lifted everyone higher !
Memphis Mullen: The U2 360 show in Anaheim had the best energy so far of the five shows I’ve seen in the US on this leg. The audience was really into it. It was the same set list as the previous US shows this leg.
This is not Oakland baby ! Get your ass up and out of bed early and don’t wait around long, expected attendance 50K on a Friday night is nothing. Traffic in Cali is considered bad all the time, so today its better than bad. Its your nightmare – So read up on the details, follow U2TOURFANS tweets and watch the signs – Parking opens at 8 AM –
Anaheim: U2 arrives today in Orange Country and expect traffic to be major, above normal for the whole area around Angles stadium. We have a few updates from around the area that are important for you –
