    am I the only one who’s finding that the mp3 goes to crap at about 30 seconds in?

    not trying to bitch, but I can’t get it to play at all.

    Excellent. My band plays that song, and it’s my favorite. Their revised lyrics were a little cheese-ball, but what are you going to do. I only wish Adam had been out there, as I play bass and I would have loved to see him rock it out. 1000 points of light indeed.

    sorry, caroline, i don’t think it is. Fixed, I mean. I downloaded again, no good. saved it to another drive, renamed, etc. Still no good, still messes up at the same place. but since no one else has said anything, it could just be me.

    I know how you feel, Elmo. An hour before the debut of U-Jam, the concert organisers told me Bono wasn’t coming, it was just Pearl Jam. The concert was full, and I didn’t think security would let me in “just to see if Bono turns up”. So I went home. *sigh* Anyone got a spare ticket to Sunday night’s show? I don’t eat much …

    I got tickets to see the MPH concert but had to attend after work & was in a large queue to have my bag checked when Pearl Jam, Bono & Edge hit the stage. Sounded like it went off from a distance…
