Good point...Aaron, thanks to you, too for the post. Good point, but I already made it. Check the links my friend. The one I linked to from the part of my post where I said not all reunions suck was the very tour you mentioned - Springsteen and the E Street Band in 99. <br /><br />You have good taste and thanks for keeping me honest.David Guarinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588485394963826031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775890733129148208.post-80426209091202545762007-01-27T09:09:00.000-05:002007-01-27T09:09:00.000-05:00Burke, thanks for the post.
I'd say I have three ...Burke, thanks for the post.<br /><br />I'd say I have three live U2 high points. <br /><br />First was my first show, Madison Square Garden, April 1, 1985. Great show. Opened my eyes to the magic and actually got me playing guitar because I wanted to be like the guy Bono pulled up from the crowd to play "Knockin' on Heavens Door." <br /><br />Second would be the FleetCenter show on June 9, 2001. I waited all day alone but got into the heart and was standing behind only one rather short person so it felt like front row. The setlist was kicking my ass already when they pulled out "Out of Control" - THE greatest live song ever. Amazing.<br /><br />Third would be the one you mentioned, St. Pat's Day at the old Garden in 92. I was in the back of the floor with an old girlfriend who was acting lick a stick in the mud so I took off about mid-show and ended up right in front of the little stage for the acoustic set and about 10 rows back down front for the rest of the show. Didn't make the girlfriend happy, but I was thrilled.<br /><br />Would have loved to have been at the famed 'Ever Peaceful' show. I have a bootleg tape, it's a classic.<br /><br />Of course meeting Bono and Edge at the Four Seasons on the Zoo tour was cool. And then I ran into Bono again while covering the Republican National Convention in New York. I froze the first time so was certain I'd do better the second, and I did. I thanked him for writing 'Out of Control.' He seemed flabbergasted that in this hall of radical Repubs that somebody - he had no idea I was a reporter - would know a song he wrote right after his 18th birthday. Pretty cool.David Guarinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588485394963826031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775890733129148208.post-59758113710983074752007-01-26T19:12:00.000-05:002007-01-26T19:12:00.000-05:00Hey, not all reunions suck.
Springsteen reunited...Hey, not all reunions suck. <br /><br />Springsteen reunited the E Street Band after 15 years, and those shows have been outstanding. J. Geils Band in 2000 was also a great show. <br /><br />Agreed than VH post-1984 is atrocious.William https://www.blogger.com/profile/15201560647358463662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1775890733129148208.post-30147788626844041172007-01-26T15:02:00.000-05:002007-01-26T15:02:00.000-05:00Hey Dave, you certainly have good taste in music. ...Hey Dave, you certainly have good taste in music. What's your U2 live high point?<br />I caught them on St. Patrick's Day in Boston, 1992. I was leaning on the center stage and could hear Bono shouting the words to "Dirty Old Town" into Larry's ear.<br /><br />But I was at the Ever Peaceful show in Worcester 1985. Nothing will ever top that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
