Yeah I like how he conveniently didn't bring a camera to a U2 show. Also if I saw Gilmour sitting right behind me you better be sure that I would get his autograph. Did he, or was there conveniently not any paper and pen in sight?

Bluetailfly and friend are famous. It sounds like it was the VIP section they're talking about...

It's the same guy. Great minds think alike.

Actually, he snuck in a video camera and taped the show!
And being from the United States (and the west coast at that), it seems an unlikely occurrance to me too. But this is London, and this show was some sort of special gig. Does anyone from England remember a recent tour where U2 played a series of outdoor shows in London, but one indoor gig?

Of course it's true. Why wouldn't artists want to go to a concert? Some of them are real people, you know. They enjoy a good gig. They even post on forums.
And, as much as I respect BaldFriede's opinion on prog-related matters, I often end up sighing at the snobbery. Have U2 simply sold too many records to be considered good? Thank goodness the artists we like paint from a larger palette than we do! |
Right on! I like Gabriel and U2. 
So there -- sue me. 
(BTW, I would certainly move for Gabriel, especially if I was in the wrong. It would also be a good chance to meet him. There's no excuse for selfishness like that.)

When I go to a concert I have yet to bring pen or paper, nor would I bring a camera, so there.

Why wouldn't this story be true? Really weird things do happen, a lot weirder
than that. These old dudes aren't gods, after all. They can be seen and
touched.

It could have been on a cruise ship or a seaside resort. After all, we all know that Bono can walk on water....
