Ummm, I meant Sheffield. LOL be funny if I went to the wrong city! "Hey, where is everyone?" Rolling Eyes

Oh boy!!!

Dear Elbow, Very Happy

why don't you support them in Berlin!!!! Sad

I would have loved to see you again!!!

Subject: Re: Elbow support U2 Tue 14 Jul 2009, 17:33

Anyone know what time the bands go on? Most importantly Elbow?

Subject: Stage times Tue 14 Jul 2009, 18:45

The ticketline website has the following info,

Thursday, 20th August 2009

Doors: 17:00

The Hours: 18:00 - 18:30

Elbow: 19: 00 - 20:00

U2: 20: 30

I am guessing that these are the rough times. I am going to the Dublin show a week on Saturday, so will let you know the correct times after that. Very Happy

U rule...

Subject: Re: Elbow support U2 Tue 14 Jul 2009, 19:09

The Hours opened for Kasabian - I thought they were OK, but not great.

Subject: Re: Elbow support U2 Tue 14 Jul 2009, 19:35

It's nice to see that Elbow get a full hour as support! Most supports I've seen have been less than that, I think. Usually 30-45 mins.

Subject: Re: Elbow support U2 Tue 14 Jul 2009, 19:42

Yeah I was happy about that too. Though, ideally I'd like it to be 18:00 - 20:00.

Oh well....

Subject: Re: Elbow support U2 Wed 15 Jul 2009, 09:13

I am going to Wembley for my 30th Birthday, August 14 to see Elbow, The Hours with support from U2... Smile

If anyone has running times that would be wonderful Smile

excited is an understatement.

Subject: U2 stage times Mon 27 Jul 2009, 19:19

Just got back from Dublin, it was an amazing show, really can't wait for Sheffield now.
The first band (The Republic of Loose) came on at about 18.25 till 18.55. The Kaiser Chiefs played from 19.15 till 20.00. U2 played from 20.45 till 23.00. We got to the Stadium at about 16.30 and managed to get a really good spot, about 6 rows back from the catwalk. I think most of the hardcore U2 fans queue up hours earlier to get a spot inside the catwalk, but the stage and screens are that huge, it was perfect where we were.
P.S. its really loud! Very Happy

Getting excited about Sheffield!! Anyone else.....??!!

Subject: Re: Elbow support U2 Wed 12 Aug 2009, 16:13

No mention of Elbow, but there will be a live radio broadcast of the U2 concert in Sheffield Very Happy

Well I had to give up my ticket for tonight due to health problems (nowt serious!) and it appears that I've missed a stormer! Mate has just sent me a text saying the Elboys were superb and went down great with the U2 audience. Sent this pic, taken during Tower Crane Driver

I was offered a tic for this, but turned it down, looks damn good, i just can't stomach U2!

Subject: Re: Elbow support U2 Sat 15 Aug 2009, 06:52

Oh come on.... U2 aren't THAT bad. They appear to be one of the most successful bands in the world. And when Bono doesn't talk politics all the time they are a pretty damn good Rockband!
I would have loved to see them (Elbow) in Berlin (support band - Snow patrol - who actually weren't that bad either).
I hope that they've enjoyed it playing in a stadium (even if it's half filled at that time).

ELBOW + U2 = I love you

Reading through the comments the sound wasn't the best, but the (U2) fans that wrote loved them. One comment: Bless Guy Garvey! Very Happy

Nothing more to say!

Subject: Re: Elbow support U2 Sat 15 Aug 2009, 12:40

Poor Miss EP was working in Brent Towers while Elbow were playing next door at Wembley Stadium. She opened all the windows and managed to hear Guy's vocals floating through the air, but it wasn't the same as being there Sad

Subject: Re: Elbow support U2 Sat 15 Aug 2009, 13:00

That's really horrible!

Subject: Re: Elbow support U2 Sat 15 Aug 2009, 17:56

they played

Starlings
The Bones Of You
Mirrorball
Grounds For Divorce
Station Approach
The Loneliness Of A Towercrane Driver
One Day Like This

There was a false start during Starlings, but Guy was on good form - "are you ok", "are you still ok?" etc

U2 were excellent, Bono didn't do too much pontification which was good, the set and stage set up was wonderful. The Hours were also superb.

Seven songs! Is that it? Sad

Six of them off the last record. I was hoping they would do a longer set than that. what a shame!

Subject: Re: Elbow support U2 Sun 16 Aug 2009, 06:15

Support bands are playing 45 min. That's normal!

I was there on Friday and it was a great show! Was great to finally seeing them live, and agree it was a shame there wasn't much older material..
Loved One Day Like This, a great way for them to end their set.

Here's my video of One Day Like This, also got a few of the U2 ones up there. Smile
