Damn, only one Canadian date so far. Granted this is only the first leg, so maybe they'll do something like they did in 2001 where they played Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, and Montreal. I certainly hope so. Otherwise, it looks like I'll be heading to Vancouver on the 28th.

And no Moose Jaw either. It's just not right.

:lol:

I've never seen them live, don't consider myself a major fan, but I'd go if the opportunity arose. Are they worth the $3500 they'll be asking?

$3500?? GA floors are $49.50.....they could get double that if they wanted

I hope they make some more Canadian dates on the second leg.

Come ooonnnnnnn London! If the JLC is good enough for the Hip then its good enough for anyone, oh yeah!!!!!!! :jump

I just noticed that its a pretty spaced out tour, wonder why? Old age creeping in or what? If Mick can do back to back shows...

maybe they'll be annoucing shows in between?

i hope so.

I imagine with their stage setup and props they have alot of stuff to move from venue to venue, perhaps they are spacing shows out to allow for everything to run smoothly

now...do i try get vancouver tix, or hold out for calgary/edmonton on 2nd leg?

I was thinking the same thing. They played Calgary in 2001, so I wouldn't be surprised if they came back.

Count me in on the May 21 show @ MSG ...my first time seeing them

They just announced a third leg in the fall, though no dates yet. Doubtless, Toronto and Montreal at least will see some U2 then. I'll grab ticks to the ACC!! Never seen these guys before. Can't wait.

So nobody answered my question, what's the live show like? Is it worth shelling out for tickets?

Does anything seperate them from most other "legendary" acts; just the CD versions played loud?
