Passengers: Photos from the Era

[Edge_Orchestra]

This is a great shot. I like the way all of U2 are looking in one direction, and Brian Eno is looking/pointing in the opposite direction.

That is Eno in a nutshell... he's often thinking and doing things on a different level than most.

That'd be a cool poster... if the piccy wasn't cut between two pages.

Those are the types of pictures that I show naysayers who say... "U2 are in it for the money, they probably hate one another, they only do it for fame and money".

I show them pics like this and tell them. "Jealous. U2 are friends first. One of the worlds greatest rock bands second".

Very well said Edge O

You know, I will never understand why they put photos in the spine of books, especially a book featuring photography of all things. I have some other large format photography books that do the same thing, they use up an entire 2 page spread to feature an amazing photo, with the spine going right thru the main objects face

Beatnik Adam. Doesn't that piccy make you want to play bongos and read poetry?

AND he is wearing a tiedye shirt

Exactly! No one consulted me on this! I still insist: All U2 photobooks MUST come with CD-Roms with ALL of the pictures for US.

Awwwww... now that is a cool photo. Again, I know I might be the minority here... but I do love the Passengers album.

It's great to listen to at work. Cool atmosphere and sounds.

Funny things? The guy that sits next to me hears it and says: "What, no U2 today?"

I just laugh and say: "Well man can not live by U2 alone, right... well... he can but when he DOES listen to other things... Passengers might be what he listens to".

Then my co-worker just looks at me a bit confused and says again: "Just surprised you're not listening to U2". Or he'll ask me to "play the techno Pavarotti CD".

I actually love Passengers too. There are a few songs there I don't care for, but mostly it's pretty great.

Alrighty... sleepy-time for me.

BonoComet... thank you again for scanning and posting the Passengers era piccies.
