I bet we never thought we’d see Acrobat on a concert film!

Acrobat

I bet we never thought we’d see Acrobat on a concert film!

That WILL be amazing if that happens!

That WILL be amazing if that happens!

It's such a centerpiece I'd be shocked if it's cut. To be honest, I don't expect anything from this set to be cut from the concert film.

 

[dazzledbylight]

They're filming tonight?

I am dumbfounded by their reluctance to play RFD. It is universally well received, and they seem to really enjoy playing it.

Given they played 28 songs on the first night, I just can’t fathom why they don’t play ALL of RFD, Gloria, ABOY and Electric Co in that slot, especially when they have dropped RBW and SFS.

I'm not sure if they should play all of them, but I can't understand how the show improves with fewer songs. It flowed brilliantly at 26 songs and never felt bloated. I really don't care about Wild Horses, but they should expand that pre-BD run of songs again.

 

[DRay9911]

And we’ll see you tomorrow night

 

[superchuk5]

If they are recording, there is a greater than 0% chance they play Gloria again tomorrow.

It was 100% being filmed - saw a few $100k Arri film cameras and other camera types including a GoPro on Edge's guitar for a couple songs.

 

[dan_smee]

Let’s hope the full Apollo show is a bonus feature

 

[DeVaul]

at least they used the kids in war imagery again for One. Need to keep it in. Should've never been dropped.

 

[Iggy Fizz]

Acrobat

Acrobat... the most overrated and overhyped track in U2 (music?) history.

It's very good. Not great.

 

[The John Tree]

I’d remained relatively unspoiled before tonight’s show (save for the return of MacPhisto and Acrobat, because I just couldn’t resist.)

Yet, I had two teary eyed moments tonight.

There was something so poignant about Bono saying “Iris. That was my mother.” It really hit me.

Same for when he pulled the lightbulb out of the little home during 13. The callback to the beginning of the Innocence shows, here to close out the Experience shows. It wasn’t really something.

Incredible. Otherworldly, as always

 

[prbiker15]

Glad you had a great time!

SINGAPORE Why may I ask are you going there?!

Safe traveling! no chewing gum!

Thank you! Work-related, my 2nd visit in the past 2 months - actually love it here.

There are some powerful moments in the show. The Nazi footage during Staring at the Sun really got me because I’m a UVA alum.

And yeah, I love Iris and 13. They aren’t quite traditional U2 songs but what they do they do soooo well.

google tells me it's 805am tuesday over there. you're in the future!

are you going to waste 2 hours of your morning to listen to a show you've heard a couple of dozen times already?
