Music: Re: [u2tour] Re: Balto show

I also had friends arrive at M&T Bank Stadium around 7 p.m. and got right
into the inner circle. They didn't stay and they didn't like the idea of
the "neck-branding" for re-entry so they hung out with us near the
soundboard.

At Charlottesville and Raleigh in 2009 a buddy and I walked in after Muse
was finished and got right into the circle. Granted those two shows were
not sellouts but we couldn't believe we were able to get so close so late.
