I was there and agree with you completely.. amazing gig but like you I missed a crowded floor of fans. I can only assume that Manchester Arena have put a heavy restriction on the GA space given the recent tragedy, which is understandable.

Point taken lads. I just get frustrated with the level of repeated cynicism pre tour and during tour when in fact they have repeatedly over the last 10 years pulled some real surprises live (subjective to opinion of course) . More so is the occasionally smug and passive aggressive responses...

he's rambling but I was at Manchester 2 weeks ago and when Edge kicked into Zoo Station it was worth the preamble because the guitar into was loud and electrifying.. and into The Fly it was perfect.

It's a private rehearsal relax for fucks sake man

To the (unsurprising) person that that slammed me down on this 2 months ago.. I was (almost) fuckin' right! The intro to Blackout, Zoo Station, Fly, Stay, Horses then New Years Day were perfect. Just had to get that off my chest x

Le'ts see tomorrow. I'm packing for Saturday and can't wait... I'm going to see Ufucking2!!

The swap on the I&E tour in Europe to 'October' and 'Zooropa' wasn't huge but it was brilliantly done and enough of a change without changing what was already a great gig. That's more what I expect rather than anything major, but was completely relevant to the situation in Europe. Excited...

No, just being optimistic I guess.

Any changes would have been planned months ago.. rehearsals are just rehearsals, practising. If they play the same gig in Europe, politically, I'll be flabbergasted.

I'd love to see the second section of the show go into a Zoo smash up... thinking of the iconic intro to Zoo Station with the EU flag. No repeating the past but that stage is made for it. But after Blackout and UTTEOTW it may be too much. Fuck Elevation boys let put a Zoo-like spotlight on...

I agree - expect the unexpected otherwise it's worthless

yes, thank you.

I'm not a trend analyst just having fun with how things might map out.. music is art which should largely be unpredicable. I don't mean to be disrespectful and your statistics may well prove me wrong but I (a confirmed U2 geek that bores his friends to death) have faith in their ability deliver...

I don't think we've heard the start of yet at all folks, I hope not.

I think Red Flag Day will be in there, in a similar intense spot as Raised By Wolves. Being on the road for such a long time and knowing that this would be the inevitable second half of the I&E tour they have had heaps of time to think about how the arc of the show is going to be and I imagine...

Best bet is RMP Management based in London have done their PR for years.. good luck. Regine Moylett runs it and you can get their number easily I'm sure. If you're in London just turn up and ask them. Almost impossible with U2 but no harm asking, you've nothing to loose! I'm seeing more...

Are you being passive aggressive there or did I mis-read it?

Mofo will appear on this new tour I'm convinced of it

I don't disagree with you BVS ... maybe it just didn't fit in the end. When I say vanished from history, I am referring to the fact that the version isn't available anywhere as far as I know (iTunes, spotify, cassette etc), which is a shame because I love it, especially for those direct and...

On a similar note.... I loved the 'first' 'No Line on the Horizon' or NLOTH2 cut that didn't make the album and can't find it anywhere other than youtube.. Then I heard a while ago (and again yesterday) ZZ Top 'Legs' and the riff is almost identical. Do you think that's part of the reason...

I agree heard it in the car today and had to rewind to hear that line again... perfect (wrong quote above but what you said, the Killiney Bay line)

love this and your first choice.. reminds me to listen to it more :)

Is there a thread about the today-announced U2 European tour, pre-sale, tickets, excitement, anxiety, questions etc?

It wasn't a major tour we got 12 gigs in Europe I think lucky us... they had a new record on the boil and true to their word a new tour this year. The JT tour could have gone on for infinity and every country wants a slice but it wouldn't have made sense. The US deserved all those gigs given...

Just joining this thread.. I agree. I'm gutted that they aren't coming to Wales but in fairness we don't (yet) have a big enough venue for this production but you do in Glasgow don't you? I know it's always worked this way but I've got 2 mates, both school teachers who could never make a...
