He couldn't even sing it on the original tour. He's doing a good job of it tbh. Needs guitar though

They played to less people in Ireland on the I+e tour so I can't see how ye are so shocked there is only 1 gig. This tour is a massive scale back from previous stadium tours they've done. That applies to Ireland too. Anyway, aren't most of ye already going to the gig? No interest in seeing this show twice. Seeing I+e twice was a mistake.

30 Jan 2009 12:15 The government is planning to fast-track new legislation which many enable a second U2 concert to take place at Slane in August. The law, which was due to be introduced later in the year, would remove the need for organisers to apply for planning permission. The Taoiseach has asked the Minister for the Environment to enact the relevant piece of legislation. The new regulations will be presented to the Dail and Seanad in the next fortnight and could be law by the end of the month. This would allow the promoters of U2's Slane concert the time to apply for a license under the new system if they wanted to stage a second show. There were angry scenes at ticket outlets last Saturday when queuing fans were turned away after the 80,000 tickets for the August 25th concert sold out in 45 minutes. MCD, the promoters of the U2 concert, said that it was the fastest selling show ever in Ireland. This evening MCD said they welcomed the Taoiseach's intervention. A spokesman said they were waiting to see what would emerge and indicated that any chances of a second concert would depend on the goodwill of the people in Slane.

Veloce wrote: » No I'm not suggesting it wouldn't sell out, I just mean it'd be unusual to announce so close to the actual concert. It's 5 or 6 weeks away. Has the Croke park annual concert rota already been met? 3 per year?
