atlanta

[charleswise]

Long time lurker, infrequent poster, just wanted to share my story here. I was luck enough to meet Rick, Karl and Darren before the show and just wanted to say what nice guys they are. I was waiting around while they soundchecked and Rick and Darren came out first. I approached and asked if I could get my Live in Tokyo 2005 cd signed and they were happy to oblige. I then asked Rick if I could get a picture and he said sure but if I waited a couple of minutes I could get one with both Karl and himself. While waiting for Karl, I had about a five minute conversation with Rick about Atlanta, the South, their travel plans, and U2. Karl then came out and I got my picture (taken by Darren) and cd signed. As they were leaving I asked if there was any chance they could play Dirty Epic and Rick said maybe but he couldn't promise anything. Seeing as they did play it, I would like to thanks them for that as well. Here are some pics and me and the guys and my cd. Took a lot of other pics and I'll try to put online soon.

i'm so retardedly jealous.

also if you're the reason they decided to throw dirty epic in there, you're a god among men.

also you should share rick's thoughts on atlanta. because i kept thinking, i hope they get to drive around a bit and see spring here. because my god the flowering trees are freaking amazing right now.

Here's a 12 minute video of Juanita that night. I apologize for the sound, as soon as TheNetwerk releases the audio he got that night, I'll redo the video with his sound.


Edit: Video removed until the audio can be redone.

Wait, what did I miss... somebody did a good recording of this?? Are you kidding?? ME WANT!

[lectoid]

I wish I knew security wasn't patting anyone down, I would have brought a camcorder.

Someone may have recorded the entire show. I'll just leave it at that.

I am withholding the videos now until I can redo the audio.

Nothing earthshattering. I just asked if the collaboration between U2/Underworld would ever be released. Rick said he doesn't see why it wouldn't be released one day but it was basically up to U2. Then we talked about how Bono recorded the vocals while laying in the street and he couldn't even hear the music. That lead to him talking about how they were such nice guys especially Larry.

Hey Charles,
You deserved it man, you were the first fan in the venue waiting for the show. Now, I'm back in Morgantown trying to focus on my job, but it's too difficult, as you see. Thanks for sharing.
Best regards!
