Actually, they open the Fall Tour in Chicago, Soldier Field, Spetember 12th and 13th. Both shows are sold out. |

I am a big fan - obviously - and I have seen every one of their tours since The Joshua Tree.  |

I plan to see them in Houston in October. I saw them two years ago in Charlotte and they were great!
4 out of 3 people have trouble with fractions.

Trust me, they will be worth every penny.  I might purchase tickets to the Glendale show as well. If I do, we will have to make it into a mini-offline.  |

Without a doubt. I wonder how hard it would be to pull off an Irish wine-themed offline? |

I love Irish wine. My favorites are Guiness and Beamish. |

Good to know that they are coming to Houston. Let's see if I can still score some good seats at a decent price. Last time I saw U2 on concert was during their PopMart Tour back on 1997 (i.e. here in Houston). |

We should try a vertical. Or at least try to STAY vertical... |

The single greatest concert of my life was in summer 1987. Joshua Tree at Wembley Stadium. Ranked as one of the top concerts of the 20th century. This was about 85000 people enjoying music at the highest level. IW

Interesting! I do not think I could put any concert with 8500 in my Top 10, much less 85,000. If you still list it that high after 22 years, it must have been pretty special. |

IW- That must have been a very memorable concert, full of immeasurable energy. I was fortunate enough to see them on the opening night of that tour in Tempe (April 1987) and twice in Denver at McNichols Arena (November 1987). Much of the footage for Rattle & Hum was shot at the Sunday night concert in Denver. |

Enjoy the show gigabit, should be awesome! One of the best rock bands of our time IMO. |

This was by far the my favorite rock concert ever!!
I think they come to the Cowboys Stadium Oct 13, bad timing for me.
For some reason, I knew you had exquisite taste in music, PURPLE. |
