Twenty four shows into the North American leg of Elevation 2001 and U2 played Columbus, Ohio tonight. And, before the anticipation becomes all too much, let's cut to the chase - Edge wore his No. 3 t-shirt.
Tonight MacPhisto is here. Not on stage, but in the audience. Irish flags are everywhere of course, and the signs from fans are multiplying exponentially.
How must Bono feel ? To be giving his all on stage, night after night, and then to be confronted with a sign from a fan that reads, 'Dear Bono, I Love Larry.'
If you were in San Diego Sports Arena on April 17th you were privileged - you were amongst the smallest audience of people that will see U2 on Elevation 2001. Just 14,000 - and, needless to say, completely sold out.
The fans are really starting to get into this tour - in Calgary the first sighting of a Mexican Wave before the band arrive - while the penchant for signs is beginning to take off. First night notables? THE GOAL IS SOUL; PLEASE PLAY PRIDE TONIGHT OR TOMORROW; CALGARY LOVES U2.
