Hope you get feeling better Hairball!
Thanks mr_dja - there's worse things that can happen in the world, but a bad toothache.....whoa nelly...when it's at it's worst there's simply no escape !
Ibuprofen seems to be taking care of business, but if things get worse I have a small stockpile of heavier stuff my wife and I keep from previous ailments (codeine, vicodin, etc.).
Prefer to keep those for real emergencies though, and don't like the feeling of getting 'high' from them - I'm much happier smoking a spliff which in this case would be used for medicinal purposes only.

Toothaches/dental issues and back problems are on the top of my list as far as "ailments with no workarounds". Sounds like you've got a good "pain management protocol though. You & your wife would feel right at home at our house... My wife saves all "the extras" but they're only used when absolutely necessary as, like you, both of us much prefer mother nature's finest. I look forward to the day when I can have that prescribed as opposed to the other crap.
Peace,
Mr. DJA
In an attempt to get this back on topic...
I wish I had had the desire to see U2 back in the day. I enjoyed their music in the 80's but was never moved enough to buy the tickets and go see them while costs were still reasonable for a non-superfan.
Fast forward to now: Although I have no doubt that it would be a fantastic show, I just don't know that I'm a big enough fan to spend THAT kind of money at this point. For me, the perceived cost:reward ratio is just too far skewed to allow me to pull the trigger and buy the tickets.
More Peace,
Mr DJA

Thanks for the head's up... Dallas would be a bit of a drive but, with that new tidbit, I'm thinking I need to see how close they're going to be coming to Knoxville.
Peace,
Mr DJA
After a quick look at their schedule, I think I'll be monitoring Louisville, KY. They may be a whole lot closer (physically) when they're at Bonaroo but I have no desire whatsoever of dealing with Bonaroo to get to them.

I took another listen yesterday to the Songs of Innocence album which I only have because it dropped into my inbox from Apple. I liked it a lot when it first came out and over two years later it still sounds really good to me. Maybe I ought to see them next time round.

I really didn't like that album that much. It did then, and still does, feel slightly vanilla to me. Hard to put into words. And I'm someone thats liked most of their albums since 2000. This one, to me, on record seemed rather lazy, or just mildly enjoyable. I give them credit though, I saw their thing from Paris a year or so ago and thought the new songs were awesome! Maybe it was the visuals, maybe just hearing them live, but I thought they totally worked and made for a great show. Made me regret missing the show I did that tour cause I thought I just didn't want to hear that whole album. Still think the studio album is off in some way, but I can't in all good consciousness say it sucks cause I loved that live concert video.

Has anyone done the general admission this tour?
I called to question the credit card access and the lady tole me that will be handing out tickets at 6 am Friday morning to reserve your place in line for the floor.
Is it like this at all locations. If so is there a huge line at 6 am?

I think Breathe is one of the best songs off NLOTH. I love the main guitar riff and the stream of consciousness lyrics...Bono adopts an almost Dylan-esque delivery.

There was no 6 AM line up in Vancouver but the credit card thing caused all sorts of delays for people getting into the show. Most people missed the opening act because of the massive line up. I walked onto the floor just as U2 took the stage and had no problem walking right up to the fence at side of red zone.

These guys really should retire. Playing their most successful album live is not very innovating. They are just like all the others, trying to grab all the money they can get. The last remarkable album was released about 25 years ago, nowadays they are a radio-pop-band, repeating themselves over and over again. They´re done.
