Everyone keeps asking me how this 30th Anniversary Joshua Tree Tour ranks among other tours. Well for me nothing will ever top the great Elevation Tour of 2001, but this Joshua Tree Tour has my favorite set list as The Joshua Tree is and always has been and always will be my favorite album. So [continue reading]
I did not want a U2 tour in 2017 – I wasn’t ready for it. After the last tour in 2015, I have distanced myself from listening to U2 – as I do after every tour. I get so entrenched (aka obsessed) I just have to go away for a while and dream it all up again. Also I have my 2017 [continue reading]
Last night Paolo Vetri posted a video of a compilation of live versions of my favorite song “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” through the years 1987-2009. Watching it reminded me just how much I truly love this song. It’s more than just my favorite song. It [continue reading]
The other day I ranked every U2 album by ranking each song. Even though I ranked each song, that was more about ranking each U2 album. Now I want to share my favorite three songs off each album. This time I am including the b-sides because they are some of my favorites. THE JOSHUA TREE – I [continue reading]
I love blogging the A to Z Blog Challenge – blogging everyday in April, except Sundays, on a specific theme. I loved doing it last year, and I enjoyed it even more this year. I think I enjoy the challenge so much because I am one who likes to to lists things, rank my favorites. This [continue reading]
My favorite song of all-time, U2 or otherwise, is I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For, off my favorite U2 album The Joshua Tree. It was my first favorite U2 song and what solidified me as a U2 fan, along with Larry Mullen Jr. With or Without You introduced me to U2, but it was I [continue reading]
The original purpose of this blog was to write about all 75 U2 concerts I have been to over the last 20 years, and since I have done that and U2 are not currently touring, I had to find something else to write about on this blog. I have recently gotten back into going to church. In addition to [continue reading]
I had a great time in April blogging each day about my 26 favorite U2 songs in the A to Z challenge. So much fun in fact that I wanted to list my favorite U2 songs (each highlighted with links back to the original posts) in this one blog post with the addition of honorable mentions, so I truly [continue reading]
My favorite U2 song that begins with D is Deep in the Heart. It is a B side off I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For, my all-time favorite U2 song. I love the B sides off The Joshua Tree, my favorite U2 album, just as much as, if not more than, the songs that made it on the actual album. [continue reading]
25 years ago today U2’s The Joshua Tree, my favorite album, was released. It was March 9, 1987, and I was a freshman in high school. I heard “With or Without You” and liked it. I realized that it was by that same group who sang that song “Pride” I had heard before. But [continue reading]
I had always wanted to drive across the country, and I had always wanted to follow U2 on tour – the whole tour. And last summer that is exactly what I did. I wasn’t working and barely had enough money, but I packed up the car and Elvis, Cilla and I left our house for three months to [continue reading]
DAYS 72&73 – JULY 24&25 I left Minneapolis just before 11am the morning after the U2 show. I was in a great mood because it was such a great show, but I was exhausted. I stopped one time in Wisconsin before stopping for the night at a Motel 6 in Joliet, Illinois. The next day I drove [continue reading]
DAY 36 – JUNE 18 – U2 360 #6 – ANAHEIM2 Anaheim was the only city where U2 played two back to back shows on that final leg of the 360 tour. I almost didn’t go to the second show because it was on a Saturday night, and I had to drive across the country in 3 days to make it to the [continue reading]
Today is the last show of the U2 360 tour in Canada, but I am not going. The challenge I made to myself was to drive to every US show on this last leg of the U2 360 tour, and I met that challenge. I didn’t want to cross the border several times back and forth with my dogs. The last US show [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]
I have been an avid U2 fan for 24 years. Some say obsessed, but I like to say passionate. I have seen U2 59 times in concert and met each member at least once. I have every album, most of the singles and videos and many bootlegs. My favorite U2 songs are I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking [continue reading]
I have started a new blog to coincide with U2’s Us tour next summer and with writing my memoir tentatively called ‘On the Road With U2.’ I still have my Deena’s Days blog and will continue to write about my non-U2 related activities there. I just wanted to put out a preview [continue reading]
