Thanks James for these pics, I was at that concert and it was out of this friggin world wasn't it!!!!

It was awesome, but I think I enjoy it more without trying to take pictures. ;-) More concentration to hold the camera steady, less time to move around and sing along.

wow.....Oct what about your seats?:-))
From: Octu2 on 2005-11-11 18:44:59
My seats were so horrible that you would laugh, like I did as I was going to them. They were behind the stage on the last row!But Like I said in another post it really didn't matter because they were so Amazing that the music was truly what it was all about that night. I brought some bigger binoculars this time and I was sure glad I did,since I was able to view them well. Seeing them from behind does have its benefits if you know what I mean ;)

I remember when I saw the Joshua Tree concert - we were behind the stage and actually they were pretty good seats. Bono and all of them came and faced the back stage quite often and it was a little more intimate feeling

From: Soulcatgirl on 2005-11-12 22:58:53
Lucia do you have GA tic's?
From: Lucia on 2005-11-13 14:54:09
Ing I'm sorry for sushi but if I steal him I would take him to my castle here in Italy...hihihi.....Colosseum would be allright?...btw for sure I'll think of all of you if I get him....we are like a big family aren't we?Soulie I have GA tickets but I don't know how it works in Usa...I have to go and get my ticket at 4.00 p.m. and then straight to the Fleet Center.Can I carry a bag?it is supposed to be very cold then I'll have a coat is there any place to leave it?How much time before the show american people usually stand the line outside?....Sorry for all these questions but you know I've always seen U2 outdoor shows and I know perfectly how it works here and it was always in summer!....Can you tell me a little bit more Soulie?thank you from this crazy girl... :-)))
From: Ingrid on 2005-11-13 18:55:46
hm I don't know bout the colosseum lucia, a bit crowded don't you think? I'd say we'd kidnap him inside the Bvlgari store and try all shades they have on him^^ also the Usa works with the lottery, and for what I've heard is you stand in line, and get a mark or so that you can get a drink and such without losing your spot.
From: Lucia on 2005-11-13 22:59:30
..hehehe Ing...but what would happen after trying shades? :-PP...about standing the line my friend Raffa who was in NY last october told m,e something about it....however this is very well organized,at least much better than Rome last July....hope to win the lottery anyway.... God help me! ;-))

I can tell you Lucia about how it was in San Jose and Oakland and then maybe you could get an idea. When I arrived at the Oakland concert,some of the elipse was a bit crowded,but not so much. My advise would be to get there super early and get over to the stage as fast as you can when the venue opens, since you do have GA. If you have numbered seats then that is where you go. Sounds like your tickets are like the ones in Europe where you run like the wind to get a good spot. In the US there are those types,then the number seats. Good luck and may the U2 concert God be with you :)
From: Lucia on 2005-11-14 23:35:20
thank you Oct...I have to get my ticket at 4.00 p.m. and then I'll go straight to the venue...I don't know what's gonna happen...in Italy we say that the important thing is to be there however...I have three shows to see I hope to be lucky at least at one of them.... :-))
From: Octu2 on 2005-11-14 23:44:18
I hopeing you will get close enough to give him a note or something. You have to tell them how much we adore them!!! and if they want a big ego boot,tell them to come to our site and check out how much we are obsessed.
From: Soulcatgirl on 2005-11-15 12:02:51
Holy Hell you are going to three shows!!!! OH MY GAWD!!! Thats wonderful....*stutters from jealousy dripping out every orfice*...hun I've never had GA tic's for one of there shows so I don't know how it works either? As for indoor jackets you have to hold onto all of your own things so don't bring in anything that will interfer with you groveling to get to Bono...*cheeky grin* ...if your on the floor I wouldn't bring a purse or anything that will be a big pain in the a$$ to watch...other than that good luck...it will be hot as hell if your in the scrunch part on the catwalk in or out of the elipse .... oh you are in for such a great time....whoohoo hot damn wish I was going.....grrrrrrr
From: Lucia on 2005-11-15 20:44:31
..well fortunately I have three shows to see so probably on the first night I will get how it works and then things maybe will go better....there are less then 20 days to go and I feel a mixed of excitement and a sort of fear...I don't know..I met other guys from Rome that are coming to Boston and Hartford and the will do Buffalo too...you see? a pacific invasion of North East America by crazy U2 italian fans... " l'amore giungerààààà........." :-))
