While the first Joshua Tree show in Chicago was intense and exciting as it was my first of the tour, the second show was more relaxed and fun. The audience was more into it and the band as a whole was more into it. Bono seemed to be having much more fun the second night. On this my 92nd U2 show, I [continue reading]
OMG! That was amazing! Nothing will ever beat the Elevation Tour for me, but this Joshua Tree 30th Anniversary Tour has my favorite set list with the exception of one. I was excited for every song except “Miss Sarajevo.” Each of U2’s first five albums were represented except [continue reading]
2015 was a great year to be a U2 fan. In 2015 I reached a goal that I had set back in 2010, in during the 360 Tour. I published my U2 memoir On the Road with U2 – my musical journey – and people seemed to like it! Apparently people enjoyed reading about my adventures and travels to 75 U2 shows [continue reading]
I was right each Chicago show is better than the last! Last night’s third ie show in Chicago, my 82nd overall, was magnificent! U2 played “Gloria,” Lucifer’s Hands,” “All I want is You,” and Bono sang the “I Did” in response to “Did you [continue reading]
On the two days off between U2 shows Friday and Saturday, I went to two Fan MeetUps and took a boat tour of Chicago. I met so many great people at the Fan MeetUps, most of whom I’ve been chatting with online for years but hadn’t actually met yet. I saw the beautiful architecture of [continue reading]
The second show in Chicago was better than the first, even without my favorite “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For.” I have a feeling each show is going to be better than the last, making Chicago5 next week an epic show! The day started off great when I met Larry! [continue reading]
The first of five U2ieTour shows in Chicago Wednesday June 24, 2015 was my fifth of the tour and my 80th U2 show overall (since ZooTv in 1992). I think it was the loudest and most crowded I’ve seen so far this tour. It was the first time I’ve heard “Elevation” this tour and [continue reading]
Today is the first of my 10 days in Chicago for five U2ieTour shows, three Fan MeetUps and lots of deep dish pizza! I’ve only been here 8 hours and haven’t done anything really, but I love this city! I have a feeling this is going to be the best 10 days of the summer! I left my house in [continue reading]
I am SO excited for this U2ieTour Chicago trip! Not only do I get to spend 10 days in one of my favorite cities, but I get to see five U2 shows! In my 23 years of U2 touring, I have never seen five consecutive U2 shows in the same city before. Add to that, finally meeting other fans who I’ve [continue reading]
For the 360 Tour, I drove to every concert – with my two dogs. Now this year for the iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour, I’m flying to every concert – except for the ones in New York City. So this tour my dogs, Elvis and Cilla, will not be traveling with me – except maybe to New [continue reading]
2015 is going to be the year of U2 – U2015, and it’s going to be magnificent. I will once again be traveling On the Road with U2 to Vancouver, Chicago and New York City. 2014 started off with U2 winning the Golden Globe for their song “Ordinary Love,” from the Nelson [continue reading]
Now all my ticket buying for U2’s iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE Tour is finished – hope I didn’t just jinx it. Yesterday was the regular on sale for the added shows. I wanted to get the two added shows in New York City and Chicago. Boston’s added shows were conveniently on sale at [continue reading]
I knew it was too good to be true – that all the U2ieTour planning wasn’t quite finished yet. I woke up around 5:30am this morning after a bad dream, rolled over and of course looked at my phone (by the way, I don’t get up until 8:30am and I hadn’t fallen asleep until about [continue reading]
Today’s regular on sale for U2’s iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE wasn’t as bad as the presale was on Thursday – or I just had low expectations after Thursday’s debacle. I don’t want to complain though because I got almost everything I wanted and had a much easier time [continue reading]
After the day of planning for the U2 tour yesterday, I thought buying the tickets today during the presale would be relatively easy. I thought I’d be done in five minutes. Instead, it took me just over an hour to acquire one little U2 concert ticket. I have never had a problem getting [continue reading]
My favorite U2 concert that begins with C is Chicago 360 on July 5, 2011. This was my 70th U2 show since 1992, and it was amazing! U2 played “Out of Control,” which had not been played in the U.S. on the 360 tour! I like “Out of Control” so much better than “I Will [continue reading]
DAY 52 – JULY 4 My friends Tasha and Amy and I spent the 4th of July in Chicago walking up and down Michigan Avenue. We ran into some of our U2 friends, had lunch at the Purple Pig and hung out in Millenium Park before relaxing in our room at the Hotel Monaco. We had thought about going to [continue reading]
One month ago tonight my musical journey on the U2 360 tour came to an end, and I finally found what I was looking for. After driving over 18,000 miles through 31 states to attend all 16 U2 shows in the US wearing my ‘Larry Mullen Band’ shirt to each one, Larry hugged me on his way the [continue reading]
I can’t believe there are only two more weeks left on my U2 360 tour across America – only 5 shows left. I have been on the road for 60 days and driven over 14,000 miles so far. The time has just flown by. I’ve had such a wonderful time, met so many great people, and visited lots [continue reading]
The U2 360 show in Chicago, which was my 70th U2 show since 1992, was amazing!!!! U2 played Out of Control, which they haven’t played in the US on the 360 tour! I like it so much better than I Will Follow and have been wanting them to play it all tour. The shock of the night was when U2 [continue reading]
