I can't believe that I didn't even realise that the tour had started til I read it here this morning. You run it because you love it. Stats

Yeah, considered buying a last minute ticket but was just too darn lazy. Had a semi-awesome night anyway.

Yeah, it's generally pretty fun. I'm not always the biggest fan of U2 fans though ...

Only semi-awesome?

But. . .but. . . I'm a U2 fan



Nah, it was all kinds of awesome.

 

[Cin]

Time for me to go, again. Fingers crossed for Intarwebz by the end of the week.

 

[Reggo]

See ya, Cin!

Oh, did the tour start?

Indeed it has, Andrew.

 

[the tourist]

Shows how out of the loop I am.

 

[Slopsy]

People's avatar changes are makin' me nervous.

 

[Axver]

I can't explain why, but I keep thinking Reggo is Serena.

 

[Slopsy]

Speaking of Serena, I got a surprise when I turned over my calendar today. Remember this?

It's still there

Why, on my computer.

Bono's voice at its best ever? If

Spoiler

Ultraviolet

is any indicator, this tour's a definite contender.

 

[Axver]

Nothing is ever going to compare to Lovetown. I mean, holy shit, I was watching this last night and the entire band kills. Bono's never sung like this before or since:

YouTube - U2 Hawkmoon 269 Live 1989

Truth.

 

[Axver]

Everything from about 3:00 to the end is just mindblowingly intense. Bono fucking loses it.

 

[major_panic]

I knew there was a reason I loved U2... watching the 360 footage, I suddenly remember why.

 

[major_panic]

I still haven't seen a video of Crazy Tonight yet though, and I desperately want to.

Audio's not the best, but:

YouTube - U2 - 360 tour Barcelona 30-06-2009 Camp Nou - I'll go crazy

Everything from about 3:00 to the end is just mindblowingly intense. Bono fucking loses it.

Basically, hearing that video of Hawkmoon makes me think three things: why the fuck wasn't it that good on Rattle & Hum, why the fuck did Bono start killing his vocals with heavy smoking, and why the fuck did they feel the need to change direction?

 

[the tourist]

Crazy Tonight sounded TERRIBLE live.

Okay, I love the idea and what they're trying to do there, and I think Larry does brilliantly, but honestly, wtf.

I wonder the same, although I do really like it on RaH too. The smoking thing really pisses me off, though. Christ, I hate smoking... cigarettes. An occasional cigar is something else, but cigarettes just shit me to tears regardless of who's smoking them. I think it's pretty much the worst thing a singer could do. Anyway, Bones started smoking during the JT tour if I recall my shitty trivia, so by Lovetown I guess it was sort of no return.

As for changing direction, can I just post that bogan photo again?

 

[Axver]

Bonnie, where's your cartoon about what would've happened to U2 if they'd split up after Lovetown?

(And why isn't it on a t-shirt yet?)

OH

And why not:

Re t-shirt: Amazingly, nobody's approached me about it yet! Well, JayJay's did, but you never know when this generation might just get sick of obsessing over nostalgia. Unreliable market.
