@KUEFC Quite high given how extensively it has been rehearsed. Let’s say 90%. I hope it closes because I’ve got a killer stat if it does.

@gilson_jr_ Yeah I find that really weird. If they’re dead-set on those 3 songs, go Elevation first, then BD/UV.

@algernonradish The first attempts at live streaming in 2005 were similarly underwater. I listened to every show, of course.

atu2 Sounds like the guitar solo from One Tree Hill coming from inside BC Place right now.

@algernonradish Oh man, some of those old bootlegs are hilariously unlistenable.

As a kid in 90s New Zealand, just the idea I could fax a letter or send an email & person overseas got it straight away was wild enough.

Of course, what a world, that I can cover a gig in NAmerica/Europe from Australia for you in [insert country here]. What a time to be alive.

 via Twitter Web Client

Those of you staying up to ungodly hours for this gig, I (Ax) hear you. To cover Euro shows from Melbourne I have to get up around 4-5am.

 via Twitter Web Client

@BasBoudewijn Looks like it’ll be about 6am your time.

 via Twitter Web Client in reply to BasBoudewijn

U2 should be on stage around 9pm Vancouver time. What’s that in your local time? Use this converter: timeanddate.com/worldclock/con… #JT30
