Big, big thanks tonight to both @u2songs and @mysteriousdays, whose Mixlrs were both absolutely top quality. #U2eiTour
@GnoccoFritto @CrazyLemonCat Matkin was the Asperger bit and maybe one reply after that.
-Matkin
@Rodrivox Seems like they were unhappy with how that song was working out in rehearsals. Not sure it will get played.

And, to add to this, there have been rumours of a concert in Quebec City on a couple of tours but nothing has ever come of this.
@JesseBasi Ahh, that’s a huge difference. I’m an hour on the other side on the 401. That explains it!

@GnoccoFritto @CrazyLemonCat A loss to the smart businessmen you were just mentioning. Unsold tickets is money not made.

Bono: “North American soul! Put your hands up for North American soul!” #U2eiTour

caron_djc @u2gigs So far this tour Ives seen CHI -1 and MTL-1. I thought MTL crowd last night was way more into it then CHI
So what just happened? Hard to tell on the Mixlr. Did Bono engage with someone in the audience, bring them on stage, or…? #U2eiTour

Intermission time now. An opportunity to brew a pot of tea and put on my laundry, because that’s how rock’n’roll I am today.
