Question Anyone go and see U2 at Twickenham?

I didn't but there were getting the set ready when I flew back into Heathrow on Friday night and it looked awesome.

Be interested to hear any feedback.

Cheers

Cool

I went on Sunday. Pretty awesome set list....bit of a greatest hits. Fantastic show, and as it got darker some fabulous imagery on the screens behind the band.

Also enjoyed Ash who were second support band after Idlewild.

Thumbs down

£95 for a seated ticket at Hampden or £70 for standing

Let me think

Saw them in 1987 at Murrayfield and I've got a good memory...that'll do

Went yesterday, fantastic gig, although it did get slighly "political", but that didn't come as any surprise!

I was sat up in the 100 quid seats, because had I been down on the pitch, the other half wouldn't have seen a thing, except for a sea of legs

Thoroughly recommend it though

I was there too and it was at that gig I got my first drumstick off Larry when he wanged them into the crowd. I got another a couple of weeks later in Nottingham.

Still haven't got round to learning to play the drums though...
