I got a wee bit emotional the other day when I was thinking of all this Paris stuff, and then got even more emotional when a line from Song for Someone popped into my head. 'There is a light, don't let it go out.' It's the type of thing I have mocked the band for pretty mercilessly in recent times but, gotta say, this Belfast gig, the rescheduled Paris gigs... would be pretty special to be there. Goes without saying it seems quite petty to even think about setlists anymore, so I'd sit there and start crying at a cliche line from a song I don't like all that much, U2 just have that emotional power, hey.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

the manipulative bastards with their poignant lyrics and uplifting themes...

 

[PhilsFan]

Between Sunday Bloody Sunday/Raised by Wolves and already having Bullet/Zooropa/Streets, this is suddenly a very timely show.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I wonder if he's going to change up the lyrics for Raised by Wolves?

5:30 on a Friday night, 33 good people cut down can be very easily altered...

I'll tell you this. A year or two ago I decided to stop dissecting every lyric, note, interview, set list, etc and just enjoy what the band gives me. You can probably classify me as a blind sheep or whatever you want, but I've enjoyed this era more than any other era since I joined this site in 2000. For example, I couldn't care less that they play Elevation in Europe. I live in Wisconsin. This has no affect on me whatsoever. It's just keeping this perspective that makes the band more enjoyable. I don't even consider it dumbing it down. It's more of giving myself the gift of positivity.

I can easily see him changing the aforementioned SFS lyric to "(There is a) City of Lights/don't let them go out".

Today's show is going to have the feels. I can feel it.

They're most likely going to be well rested, which is great.

The Great Barrier Peef makes a strong point.

 

[david]

Bono is sounding really powerful tonight vocally.

 

[david]

I can't get over how great Bono's voice sounds tonight.

 

[mikal]

It sounds like he spent the last few days sniffing babies' heads.

 

[PhilsFan]

Does anyone like the bullhorn thing on Bullet? Because I sure don't.

Tonight he should have sang it since he's in incredible form. I don't particularly like it for the entirety of the song. Maybe sparingly would be more effective.

 

[mikal]

I like it. Reminds me of early Stone Temple Pilots.

I like the bullhorn, but I agree it should be more sparing. Using it to accentuate a line or two here and there would be more effective.

 

[david]

No surprises tonight but that's okay considering how on point and amazing they sounded. Sweetest Thing actually sounded great.

Bono mentioned that Ali wasn't there (a first for Sweetest Thing this tour?), so maybe the pressure was off.

Agreed.

The best Springsteen show I ever saw (I've seen three) by far was the one where his wife wasn't with them. He was, shall we say, flirty with the young women at the front of the stage.

 

[bono_212]

I treasure the e street shows I saw without the red headed woman.


Also I love the bullhorn.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

We've never seen both Patti Scialfa and Melisandre in the same room at the same time.
