- Getting 2nd row in Auckland
- One Tree Hill -- and the reaction of myself, Axver, and everyone around us

oh yea, add the one my mom said about meeting everyone to my list!!! that was definitely just about the best part

gr@cie · 12-11-2006, 10:07 PM

Hearing the boys soundcheck Bad before Melbourne I as we walked onto the concourse from the train station (at that moment I realised it was really happening!)

Sharing two fantastic shows with my family who had never seen U2 live before

Hearing Kite live twice

Hearing Bad live

Oh... and meeting Bono with my daughter after 23 years of being a fan and never in my wildest dreams expecting to be that lucky

...and being a tiny part of this place that makes it all so much more fun

Duh ... and of course I meant One Tree Hill!

What a wonderful thread!

My memories:

*Hearing "Gloria" and "Bad" at the Continental Arena 5/18, then going back to the hotel where I was staying, having a nice hotel employee open the office area for me, and telling my peeps at the Setlist Party all about what I'd just seen! Meeting Ruffian before the show as we were waiting for the band to arrive at the soundcheck...which they had over an hour earlier!

*October 7...no tickets for that show, but I'd wandered to MSG to say hi to Ruff. I met Headache, Dazz, Rambling Rose and a bunch of other Interlanders...and wound up two feet from Bono as he chatted and shook hands with loads of fans. Those blue eyes...and for once he was wearing clear shades so I got a fantastic look at them!

*October 8...shaking Adam's hand after waiting 1-1/2 hours by MSG in the worst rainstorm I'd ever seen. Having him give me the biggest amused grin, probably because he'd never seen anyone so soaked! Wandering to Kmart afterwards to buy dry clothes. Mary J. Blige joining in on "One." Singing happy birthday to Gavin Friday. Text messaging the setlist for my Setlist Party peeps. Singing the band off the stage with 20,000 other fans..."How long to sing this song?" Amazing. Just amazing. My personal favorite show of the tour.

*October 14, MSG...Bono announcing "Fast Cars" with "the only place you can hear it--is LIVE!" as he ran down a ramp.

*November 21, MSG...second year in a row I'd seen U2 on the Monday before Thanksgiving. Nearly combusting with joy as they sang "Instant Karma" with Patti Smith. Feeling sad that it was my last show of the tour, but satisfied as well.

I can't wait to do it all over again!!!

Outsider · 12-13-2006, 12:38 PM

Hearing the soundcheck friday for COBL and realizing this is what I've been waiting for

Edge wink and smile at me during I will follow

Having Edge perform Mysterious ways right in front of me. This was the first song that I loved from them when I was a little girl.I took one too many pictures during this time (*cough* 7) but I'm glad I did. Every time I hear the song now I have the BIGGEST smile.

I NEVER expected to make eye contact with Larry!! This pic was right around when he looked over.

Hawaii was totally worth the wait

hotpepper · 12-14-2006, 10:29 PM

There are so many but I'll have to say it was San Jose 1. Paul McGuinness came up to me in GA and gave me a bracelet for the bomb shelter. This was my first time volunteering for The ONE Campaign. I couldn't even go into GA until COBL started so I didn't think I had have a good spot at all. Little did I know what a fantastic night I'd be having!

Got Philk? · 12-15-2006, 12:08 AM

Seeing a friend get on stage to play Party Girl

Seeing a friend get up and dance to Fast Cars. "Speak Spanish to me baby".

Seeing a smaller friend get on stage for SBS.

How about just going to my first show ever?

Meeting all kinds of crazy people standing or sitting in line. I love GA

Liesje · 12-15-2006, 12:30 AM

- Laura playing Party Girl (know each other since we were 4)

- Discotheque in Chicago

- first acoustic Walk On in Chicago

- my first ellipse/front rail experience with Miroslava and April in Pittsburgh

- Bono looking at me and saying something to me in Pittsburgh

- chanting EDGE EDGE EDGE in Auburn Hills and having Edge play basically on top of us

- making a VERY impromptu drive to St. Louis (9 hours away) without GA tickets and being able to have a blast on the floor (assuming this was my last show)

- being able to use our honeymoon as an excuse and going to the Hawaii show

- meeting some crazy and cool new people

- all the amazing favors done for me throughout the tour (rides, help getting tickets, places to crash or shower)

*Ally* · 12-15-2006, 12:51 AM

- March 2005: flying out to the west coast at the last minute to see the opener. driving up to LA the day before with friends, hanging around the Staples Center and running into random people i hadn't seen since 2001, eventually being let into the arena to see the rehearsal show with a bunch of other diehards.

- LA Rehearsal: seeing the confetti fall for the first time during COBL at the rehearsal. seeing Bono bang on the LAPOE drum for the first time, and hearing the opening chords to Zoo Station live for the first time since 1992 when i attended the Outside Broadcast tour.

- Chicago 5/10: being front and center on the rail inside the ellipse for bono's birthday show.

- NYC 5/21: having no tickets and waiting in the ticket drop line starting at 5 am. got 2 GAs at 8:45 pm, ran into MSG just as COBL was starting. jumped around back by the soundboard next to paul mcguinness for about 30 seconds, then got slapped with an ellipse wristband by one of the security guys. danced and sang with 3 of my closest friends inside the ellipse all night. (this might have been my favorite show of the tour!)

- NYC 11/21: touching Adam's bass.

seeing Patti Smith.

bono singing a verse of 'bad' right in front of me
