Friday, February 12th at the HOB… What a celebration.

Some people have wondered why we call ourselves “A Celebration of U2″ instead of a tribute to U2, and Friday’s show (February 12th) at the House of Blues in Cleveland is the perfect answer. We know that U2 fans love the music of their favorite band in a personal way, and when they get together, they want to sing (Proof? See “Stuck” link)… which is exactly what happened Friday night. It’s a great feeling to strum the chords to “Stuck in a Moment…” and hear your fellow fans singing along with you, and you did that all night long, from “Boots” to “40“.

U2 fans truly do celebrate the music they love, which is what makes playing the music of U2 a truly joyful experience, and you made Friday a special night for us. Thank you.

Also, ”Captain Fantastic” was truly fantastic. It was a pleasure to share the stage with you guys. We were taking notes.

Here is what we played:

Breathe

Get On Your Boots

Beautiful Day

Party Girl

*(Mysterious Ways)

Unforgettable Fire

Bad

Stuck in a Moment

Bullet the Blue Sky

The Fly

City of Blinding Lights

Magnificent

Sunday Bloody Sunday

Pride

One

Electric Co.

Ultraviolet

Where the Streets Have No Name

With or Without You

I Will Follow

*Next time “Mysterious Ways” will again be on the playlist, and we promise to actually play it.

Correction of HOB ONE/Captain Fantastic show

chris — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 17:17:17 +0000

Just a quick note; The House of Blues email that went out today “Two for Tuesday” has the date of the ONE/Captain Fantastic show incorrect. The correct date is Friday, Feb. 12th. It IS correct on their website, just not on the email. “Two for Tuesday” is a great deal on these $10 tickets. Just make sure you are looking at the right date.

Hope to see you there!

A thought about our friend and associate Walt English

I want to start out this note by saying our new website will be evolving in the coming weeks. We hope that you like the changes and get engaged in the site. We want to hear from you and are truly interested in hearing what YOU think.

A few weeks ago our booking agent and friend Walt English passed away. I will keep the details to myself, but suffice it to say we were all surprised by the news and are certainly keeping his family in our prayers. We had just signed an exclusive contract with Walt and The Summit Entertainment to work with him nationally. This is both a professional and a personal curve ball and very disappointing on many levels. Walt was a really nice man and had a lot of positive energy about him. He was and will always be an important part of many bands history including ours. He gave us a few great highlights, our best probably being the House of Blues – Cleveland show. Always an optimist, he was always looking forward towards our next shows oversees, in other countries, and in various clubs and events all over the place. It was always lofty talk and just speaking of possibilities.

Walt, you will be missed and we hope and pray that we made an impact on you. You certainly did on me and the rest of the band. I remember when we FIRST started working with you, you had told me that the Ockham’s Razor cd “Lucid” was in your cd player and that you listened to it all of the time. That comment always stuck with me and made me feel like maybe we did make an impact on you. It is a great memory for me like so many of our conversations. They were always very “what’s next” in origin. I loved that. Thank you Walt, I hope that your “what’s next” moments are full of joy and rest.

Stay tuned, we have some things in the works and look forward to seeing where 2010 takes us.
