2015 U2 Tour - General Discussion Thread V

[KUEFC09U2]

The cops told us the band left the venue right after the show. We speculated Edge went to the hospital for xrays - that was a nasty fall.

To be fair they always leave pretty much right after

Innit. I wonder if the bomb is supposed to sync with that last drumbeat of Loz's - if not it still works brilliantly. I got neck-hair lift just watching it. Lord knows how it'll be live

 

[God Part III]

Wow that is haunting. Could be the highlight of the show

I'm going to the Inglewood show on June 3. Section 121 second row. I have never been to The Forum. Will I be able to see the screen? Looking at the seating chart I think I will have a OK view.
Question for you folks who have been to the show... is the screen view worth paying extra. Also how are the seats behind the main stage seats. still some cheap ones in phoenix and LA.

 

[SpiralStaircase]

So - IS there a screen behind the band as well? Cos I'm edge on to the big screen, first night. Will I have to look at the bloody BAND?

I shouldn't be laughing at this, but I did. Poor Edge. It's like Bono on the first day of the Elevation tour

Maybe they shouldve made the catwalk slightly broader?

It's made even worse the fact that it's bright yellow!!

Well hopefully we get When Love Comes To Town tonight. And maybe it'll sound half inspired. Who knows.

So what song did they come out to?

 

[SpiralStaircase]

Beat on the brat I think

I wish your posts could have the faintest bit of inspiration behind them. Fuck me, you are a bore.

So what song did they come out to?

Baby I Love You by the Ramones was intro music and Beat on The Brat was what they came out to before launching into the "oh oh ohhhh" part of Miracle. Crowd really needs to sing along to make that work. Hopefully it gets more interactive as tour progresses and crowd realizes the cues.

I'm still amazed I was allowed to watch opening night on my computer thanks to a fan in the crowd that had his I-phone hooked up to this periscope thing. The idea that I can now watch any U2 show live on my computer anywhere in the world thanks to a single fan in the crowd, is just amazing!

I wonder if this will ever impact peoples desire to actually go to shows especially shows in large venues like Stadiums?

I think it'll be a neat convenience to some fans, but almost nothing will take away from being there in person. Live music is a bit different than, say, watching an NFL game or sporting event from the comfort of home (at least imo).

That is, until holograms and 3D virtual reality rooms are built to the point that it is practically like being there!

Edge's fall (from the edge! sic!) is the big news today on many media sites:

Just good to hear he's ok. Could have been really nasty.

“We have rewritten a couple of choruses. Miracle Drug got a new chorus,” the guitarist said in reference to the song from U2’s 2004 album, How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb.

New U2 album could be finished later this year - The Edge - Independent.ie

Edge's fall (from the edge! sic!) is the big news today on many media sites:

Just good to hear he's ok. Could have been really nasty.

They now MUST break out "I Fall Down".

 

[trevgreg]

They now MUST break out "I Fall Down".

With footage of last night's fall and Bono's Elevation one playing repeatedly on the screens, of course.

Maybe they could throw in a few famous falls over the years too, such as Bob Dole's fall in 1996, to change things up for good measure.

"The Edge" is currently trending here in Brasil... now I know he's ok, I can laugh

It was amazing. I felt guilty, but then I realized I bought tickets to 9 shows and felt fine.

And people will of course still go, because when you are there in person, it's much easier to complain about the set list to the people around you.

Great show.

That's quite a long fall! 2700+ miles and The Edge is still ok.
