No, a corner store, 7-11, that sort of thing. Small shop that sells just the basic essentials, like milk and bread and stuff, along with newspapers and over-priced bags of chips and lollies. Some also do Lotto.

Oh, a 7-11. Gotcha!

 

[Axver]

Electrical Storm requires being played live.

Damn straight. Can't believe it wasn't played on Vertigo ... yet SnoozefestYCMIOYO was done at every gig.

 

[phillyfan26]

Didn't that come out in 2005?

Fuck if I know.

That's it for me gents. My computer's taking about two minutes to load a page, I'm tired, etc. Peace.

Usually the best place to find all sorts of obscure lollies too.

God, I should wander down to the dairy now, but I don't wanna. Maybe tomorrow.

i remember in german class we learned germans had more specialized stores, like fruit/vegetable (which is how i remember obst und gemüseladen), bread, etc.

What, you guys don't have greengrocers and bakeries?

Admittedly, greengrocers are starting to become a thing of the past due to supermarkets, as are butchers, but god, the world would end without bakeries doing quality breads and danishes and buns and pies and sausage rolls and croissants and ...

 

[coolian2]

I knew it would cause confusion...

Convenience store.

we call those convenience stores here

 

[corianderstem]

We have bakeries. Many cities have farmer's markets and the like, to get fresh local (usually) produce. There are several in my neighborhood, and then the gigantic tourist destination Pike Place Market downtown.

 

[LemonMelon]

See ya, Pfan

I'm logging off too. I may pop in before bed.

 

[coolian2]

Damn straight. Can't believe it wasn't played on Vertigo ... yet SnoozefestYCMIOYO was done at every gig.

There's no way, except acoustic, they could get it wrong, too.

 

[Axver]

See you later, PFan and Traviud.

I'm on an island in a busy intersection
I can't go forward, now I can't turn back

Zuh? I mean, it's a bit of a silly lyric, but there's much, much worse elsewhere. Looking at you, "with a mouth full of teeth, you ate all your friends".

 

[coolian2]

Later Pfan, ElMel

 

[Alisaura]

Indeed. I can take Native Son seriously - it's got all the uptempo rockin' qualities you want live, but the depth to give it staying power. But Vertigo just feels like a throwaway radio single to get casuals punching the air with their fists.

To borrow a phrase, :fuckyeah:

Miracle Drug could be a good song if it weren't for that Baby's head line

I actually think I've grown to like that line. Maybe it's like how Bono once described Michael Jackson's voice... if you pretend he's singing in another language...

I think I've lost my love for SYCMIOYO. I don't know, God it's got some heartwrenching lyrics, but something seems lost in the delivery. It being commercialized when it feels like it should be more private didn't help either /ramble

That's kinda how I feel about how they're doing One live in the recent tours... I liked it better when it was raw and personal and miserable.

I was kinda surprised they put out Sometimes as a single... that and Stuck. I guess if Bono likes wearing his heart and deepest anguish on his sleeve, might as well make a buck out of it as well.

Now I'm torn between the dairy or the bakery.


I've found that one of the best bakeries is Baker's Delight. For a chain store, they're FUCKING GOOD.

No, he means that's the Frogger lyric.

 

[coolian2]

Again, I like Stuck.

 

[coolian2]

I still find I get the best veges from a real vege store, and the best meat from my old mate The Mad Butcher.

</cynic>

I guess so. I was going to mention Stuck as well, but at least that song wasn't about his dad, nor was it sung at Hutch's funeral either. I don't know



MOTHERFUCKER! I forgot about All Because of You...that seriously hurt

 

[Alisaura]

Sounds like a good idea.

What I find interesting is how the 1980 gigs sound so much more raw than even those just three months later in 1981. They must have done some serious rehearsing over the Christmas break or something.

Audio quality is pretty ordinary on this one... compared to the two later Boston shows, anyway.

Otherwise, enjoying it!

 

[bono_212]

Again, I like Stuck.

And again I agree. Especially after hearing it again after so long

 

[Axver]

Now I'm torn between the dairy or the bakery.

Yeah, they do pretty well most of the time. The mother of one of the girls in my debating team at high school owned a local Baker's Delight and she'd give me free bread every time I went there.

Though the best chain bakery is by far Goldstein's. They're only in southeastern Queensland to my knowledge, but next time you're on the Gold Coast, find one and get a sausage roll and blueberry danish. You will not be disappointed. I will only eat their sausage rolls nowadays. Nowhere else compares.

 

[bono_212]

Oh man...I had to turn the volume almost all the way down....my head's ringing now...shit stupid guitar.

 

[Axver]

You haven't heard some of the other 1980 bootlegs. It's pretty good in comparison.

Prior to 1981, the only bootlegs with really worthwhile quality are 5 October 1979, Cork, 26 February 1980, Dublin, and 14 October 1980, Hilversum.

 

[Axver]

No, he means that's the Frogger lyric.

But what the hell does he mean by THAT? Frogger?

 

[coolian2]

The Rangiora Bakery in Christchurch (and Rangiora?) is one of the best I've been to, for a localised bakery.

I'll have to try Goldstein's. Especially because I lurve sausage rolls and blueberry danishes.

 

[Alisaura]

HELL YES.

I used to have a chocolate criossant for breakfast every weekday, still warm.

 

[corianderstem]

Axver, Frogger was an old videogame where you had to be this frog that was trying to hop across a zillion busy lanes of traffic.

 

[bono_212]

But what the hell does he mean by THAT? Frogger?

Frogger, the arcade game where yo uwere a little frog crossing traffic?
