I am so excited for this show. Really appreciating the tips on this thread too. Love seeing some familiar names I've haven't seen in awhile too (Mrs. Springsteen, Martha etc)

Looking forward to your review of the show Irvine. I won't be going until December and I have seats not GA :(

Thanks for the tip on that. The TicketMaster Face Value Ticket Exchange isn't up yet, correct? I wonder if it's worth waiting for that, of if I should just get these $190 tickets in the 400s. I don't know much about the venue. How bad would those seats be I wonder?

I've been on the fence about the Vegas shows and money was tight when the presale happened. But lately I've been reconsidering going and I have two friends who have expressed interest as well. I'm thinking about going to the December 2 show. Ticketmaster has nothing, and Stubhub has seats...

Love. (Since we don't have like, love etc buttons)

I find the lyric changes the most difficult part of the new recordings. I like to sing along and find I don't know the words, lol! I will say, I sang along to Stay and my voice fit right in!

I started off a underwhelmed. I really did not care much for the SOS Streets, In general the early songs were okay. The first song that gave me goosebumps was Bad. That's always been my favorite U2 song and it remained so, even with the lyric changes. Overall, I'd say I'm reminded of how...

Irvine, this is better suited for a PM but I let my subscription lapse and my inbox is full, but I just wanted to say it's great to see you are alive and kicking. You were one of my favorites from mid to late 2000s when I was really active on here. I hope you are well! Sean

I like what they're doing with BD. Can't wait for the rest!

I've listened to One a couple of times now since I first gave it a listen last night, and honestly, I don't find it too bad at all. I really don't think Bono's voice sounds bad or "shot" at all. If anything, I think it's some of his vocal phrasing--if that's the right word-- that I'm not a fan...

I agree by and large with all of this. I would add that I think he's better a singer now than he was when he was younger, but his voice is not as good, if that makes sense. The peak of his singing voice in my opinion was the Joshua Tree era. But, the fact that he learned how to sing properly...

It's funny, I kind of felt that too! He sung a lot on this one. It may be true that Bono is a better singer now than he was in his youth, but his voice was better when he was younger.

Are they releasing the full 40 songs to the streaming services on March 17 or will we be forced to buy the physical product? (I mean I will probably buy the physical product anyway, but on the last couple items, I got them digitally first and then got the CDs later). I understand that the Vegas...

I really like the ending. I may be the only one who feels this way, but I actually prefer early-era U2 lyrics to the more recent ones. I know Bono has said he's a better lyricist now but I disagree with him. I liked the earlier "unfinished lyrics" where there was room for interpretation...

As soon as I saw a news article about Songs of Surrender, I knew I had to come here to see what Interference had to say. I've appreciated catching up and can't wait for the new album!
