Shuttlecock XXII: Summer of Laz

[djerdap]

I wonder where it would fit in the set list.

Spoiler

Allegedly they're working on a segue to Zoo Station.

I'm very happy about this. It's one of my favourite songs from that album and if they capture even a part of the intensity of previous live versions, it's going to be an easy highlight.

 

[prbiker15]

Well... I stand corrected about that one particular song being rehearsed. Turns out they did rehearse it in Manchester.

I'm pretty happy to be wrong, since I might actually witness a show that features

Spoiler

The Fly, Dirty Day and Acrobat.

That's not so bad.

Holy crap, so they are rehearsing it.

With 9 shows left, it could show up as early as tomorrow.

Wish I was going to Berlin.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Why in the ever-loving fuck did they not do this, oh, I don’t know, earlier in the tour?

 

[BoMac]

It's kind of ridiculous that they'd play that before any of the non-SATS songs on Pop.

They're carrying such an odd grudge.

I've said this a thousand times already, Please is as relevant a song thematically for the current political climate as they have. And their overall view of Pop really defies logic. Those songs really come alive in concert, much more so than, say, All Because of You.

 

[lazarus]

That song, yes, but in a tour about experience and innocence it's pretty clear that Gone would be a perfect addition to the narrative.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

We must think about the TIGHT NARRATIVE.

 

[Kieran McConville]

Tight! TIGHT!

 

[david]

Looking at the set list narrative.. the back end isn’t so tight maybe they could fit it in.

 

[Hewson]

. the back end isn’t so tight maybe they could fit it in.

That's what she said.

 

[DaveC]

emphasis on "they"

 

[lazarus]

Is this an episode of Lance's Mom?

I mean she's definitely been in this position before too:

 

[DaveC]

obviously they'd have to overdub a different line of dialogue for tuco for that scene if lance's mom is involved.

Hey Cockforce--

Over the years we've been privy to some personal milestones in our little tribe: marriages, births, deaths, moves, promotions, health issues both mental and physical, etc. Personally, I haven't had much of note in my life to talk about but as some of you may be aware, I've been working on my first feature film since back in 2011. I've shared some images from our production shoots but I think it's been quite a while since I gave any update. We've had some big stumbling blocks with our editor and trying to put the final polish on things. I've sunk almost all of my personal income into this thing, and at the rate I make money we're not going to have it fully completed until sometime next year. So my producer convinced me to do some crowdfunding, and to promote that we've cut our first trailer for the film.

Anyway, I'm going to drop the link to our campaign page below, where you can watch my intro video where I blather on for a couple minutes like an idiot, and the trailer comes right after it. Obviously we're in need of money but I really just wanted to share the whole thing with everyone here since I've known many of you for so long, however slightly, and it's kind of a big deal for me. Hope you like what you see and feel free to share it amongst your IRL friends if it seems up their alley.

I eagerly await your feedback, particularly the ridicule of my speech and appearance!

I love you all.


P.S. If anyone has a direct line to NSW, can you tell him to come by and check his PMs or roll through here? He's asked me about this project in the past and I wanted to keep him in the loop.

I'll text him. And congrats on making it this far with your film! Hoping you can get it finished.

ETA: Just watched your video. I'll definitely send some money your way this weekend.

It's times like these when I wish I still had photobucket so I could post the YLB/LMP bookshelf-humping .gif.

Thanks! I have some friends that can stop by and remind you!

"I hope it IS haunted!"

I think I like Delilah more than Veronika but it's hard to say at this early stage. Looks great, Laz. I'll be contributing as soon as I can.

 

[Hewson]

Congrats on reaching the home stretch. Trailer looks good.

 

[Kieran McConville]

I don't have any money, but good luck with the film.

 

[david]

Wow, so there was a U2.com subscriber screening of Rattle and Hum in Dublin.

I never even received the free gift that was supposed to come in the mail last year.

 

[david]

That would be cool if they issued a recut version of the movie. Like, just the Tempe show in full in color:
