[DaveC]

god almighty why didn't they play this during zootv or popmart

 

[prbiker15]

Bono's really trying to get into MacPhisto again.

That solo never fucking fails.

 

[Axver]

this acrobat intro is cringeworthy. just play the song and it'll do it's job.

I didn't like it at the first few shows. But that was a pretty decent Macphisto routine.

 

[TinKnight]

I love how much they're enjoying themselves this tour.

 

[Lila64]

 

[DaveC]

this would be the perfect place to play gone or please.

 

[TinKnight]

I was about to say "woah, they're going to do something new!" and then I realized it's just the shitty TBT version no one wanted.

Didn't know Bono would wipe off his makeup during the intro.

 

[DaveC]

i feel like i just sat on a whoopie cushion.

 

[Axver]

I was about to say "woah, they're going to do something new!" and then I realized it's just the shitty TBT version no one wanted.

The transition is so fucking forced, it's awful.

Now, since we're one song down compared to the previous few shows, I'm hoping for some e stage fun and variation here. Come on lads.

 

[prbiker15]

This arrangement...

 

[RoKKeR]

Probably the worst part of the show right there. They need to figure something out to go after acrobat.

But hey, we’re getting acrobat every night.

 

[DaveC]

acrobat is awesome. if they played please after it the "rarities" box would be checked hard and it would make more sense in terms of setlist flow into SATS. instead i went from "wow this is great" to

best thing needs to be played full band and somewhere else.

Oh Bono, stop teasing us by saying that Pop has a couple of good tunes...

 

[Rachel D.]

I’ll be surprised if this section of the show doesn’t get some tweaking later on. Acrobat must be hard to follow.

[TinKnight]

Did Pride have any chatter during JT30?

[DaveC]

i picked up my guitar during SATS and was having a really fun time playing along to that and pride. and then this song started and i disappointedly put my guitar down.

 

[DaveC]

american soul is better live than on the album for sure. i don't think i would have nearly as much of a problem with this song if it was the first appearance of the "you are rock and roll" bit and it wasn't already part of another song.

 

[Axver]

BONO.

PUT.

DOWN.

THE.

FUCKlNG.

MEGAPHONE.

 

[DaveC]

ok chill a bit on refu-jesus tho bono

I'm far less annoyed by the re-use of Glastonbury/Volcano than I am by the blithering smug idiocy of "refu-jesus".
