All this talk about an aging band but Mick Jagger is 77 and still recording and planning on touring...and their last tour got rave reviews
I don't see why U2 can't have the same longevity.
Maybe it's less album making, more single/EP releases, more tours...but they still have something in the...
I went to all three tours (2 shows on JT30). Aside from relatively static playlists, I think all three tours were great. The only moment that felt was really phoned in was RHMT. I wish they had played that more like the record.
Other than that we’ve had two solid albums of music and three...
I came into true U2 fandom just as Rattle and Hum was released...and I’ve always thought it was a great record. I’d love to see a Lovetown Tour homage.
I really enjoyed this tour. The opening three song sequence was masterful stagecraft IMO. I really got into The Blackout after seeing it live. There were parts that drag a bit but I found that to be true with TJT2017 and I+E tours as well. I don’t expect 2 hours of all high...every concert I’ve...
Seeing A Sort of Homecoming and Acrobat live in a 12 month stretch made my decade. I think I'd go TJT2017, then E+I, then I+E. All good tours though.
I saw I+E in MSG, TJT2017 - Chicago 2, TJT2017 in Kansas City, and E+I in Omaha.
U2 are going to realize that they can make more money on hologram tours...maybe the ticket prices come way down but so do the expenses. Who wants to trot out a ZooTV replica in 2021 when they are 60+ and can just have Willie Williams put together a hologram tour that gives hardcore fans some...
I think the Belfast sound check DD was much better than the Dublin concert rendition. I think Edge should have taken the lead. Too bad because I really love that song and was really excited by the sound check, but the videos from Dublin make it seem a little flat. Maybe it’s just not translating...
America is depressing as fuck. I live in a shithole country that doesn’t value the lives of its own citizens...puts profits over people...etc, etc.
Depressing as fuck.
I was at the show last night. For me, Acrobat was worth the price. Some SOI rehashed footage...but they were good songs. Gloria was a bonus. Best Thing in its current version just does not excite anyone. I was in the upper deck (great vantage point)and it was loaded with casuals. It is so...
That makes sense. It's like a loss leader...don't care about breaking even on ticket revenue because we'll get their gambling $. Know how to make money in a casino? Own one.
