The seventh U2ieTour show in New York City at Madison Square Garden saw the tour debut of “Satellite of Love” (not played since 1993), Paul Simon singing “Mother and Child Reunion,” the booing of an obnoxious ‘fan,’ and the return of the Dalton Brothers – [continue reading]
How many bands attend a fan party and play with the tribute band? Only U2 and that’s why we love them because they love us! We were never more shocked and excited then when Edge and Adam took the stage with Unforgettable Fire and played “Where the Streets Have No Name” and [continue reading]
The fifth U2ieTour show in New York City on July 26, 2015 was the fourth anniversary of the last 360 show in the U.S. That show in Pittsburgh was when Larry hugged me on his way to the stage. This NYC5 show wasn’t quite as memorable. Although Larry did finally wear his blue shirt that I [continue reading]
What made the first two U2ieTour shows in New York City at Madison Square Garden on July 18 and 19 especially fantastic was that I was not expecting anything – I had no plans to meet the band or wait in the GA line. I had already had so many great experiences on this tour that I had no goals [continue reading]
It was my first U2ieTour ticket purchased. I used my u2.com presale code to ensure I would see U2 Opening Night at Madison Square Garden. This Saturday July 18, 2011 will be my 85th U2 show, my 10th of the innocence and experience tour, and U2’s first of eight shows in New York City where [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 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]
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]
The U2ieTour shows in Denver were the last added. I sold two of my NYC shows, so I could go to Denver. One, because it was a weekend. Two, because I am a Broncos fan and like going to Denver. Three, because I wanted to see U2 in a different city. And four, because I knew these shows in Denver would [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]
I have written my U2 memoir, On the Road with U2 – my musical journey. It is about my adventures since 1992 on the U2 tours from ZooTV to 360, including all 75 concerts, the people I’ve met, the places I’ve seen and my quest to meet Larry. It has been a wonderful journey, both [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 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]
I really don’t think I can fit everything about U2’s 360 Tour into one blog post. It changed my life, literally. I saw 8 shows on the first US leg in 2009 and all 16 shows on the second US leg in 2011. The 2009 US leg of the 360 tour was what I normally did on U2 tours – saw as [continue reading]
DAY 22 – JUNE 4 – U2 360 #3 – Qwest Field SEATTLE The U2 360 show in Seattle was better than the previous two shows I had been to in Denver and Salt Lake City. Even though it was the same set list, the audience was much more into it, the band was having a blast and actually seemed [continue reading]
I don’t remember if it was when I moved to Memphis or right before the U2 360 Tour that I changed my social media name to Memphis Mullen. I do remember that it was my friend Jenny who gave me that name. I changed my email and twitter name to Memphis Mullen, as well as my blog and youtube [continue reading]
I try to live my life pursuing my passion and by the motto, “It’s better to regret something you have done than to regret something you haven’t done.” Especially since it’s all about the journey, not the destination. Along my travels this past summer on the U2 360 [continue reading]
My musical journey on the road with U2 started in Hampton, Virginia. It was Saturday March 7, 1992, and I was 19. My first U2 show was the fifth of the ZooTv Tour. On the morning of March 7th, my best friend Cindy and I drove four hours south from Ellicott City, MD to Hampton, VA. Back in those [continue reading]
Since I have finished reviewing the 360 tour and there are no current U2 tours for me to be on the road blogging about, I will be blogging about U2 anniversaries and special occasions until I have more information about my book being published. I signed up for the Blogging from A to Z April [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]
