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.

@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.

@GnoccoFritto @CrazyLemonCat I didn’t say that you had. All I said was that stops on previous tours had no relation to this tour.
