Something occured to me yesterday while travelling down to Sheffield. I was mulling over the sound problems that happened at Glsagow and remembering what happened. Being on the back rail of the pit I was very very close to the stage so when the sound went of I could still hear certain things...

I have been looking at some pictures of the Millan 1 show and there are some cool ones of the claw in all its finery all lit up etc. Does any one else think the close up photos of the band look a little dull? By that I mean 4 band members on stage with nothing behind them but blackness. Im...

I have been thinking about previous tours and how there has been a strong visual link between album artwork and the following tour on a lot of U2's tours. Joshua>Tree ZooTv>Trabant Popmart> Arch Elevation> Heart Vertigo>Target I wonder what visual link there will be this time. Any ideas?

I will be amazed if Moment Of Surrender is not played before streets. It has the same organ chord progression as the streets intro and would blend perfectly Well I suppose anything will be perfect compared to the lame Pride Streets combo from the Vertigo tour. I would rather not hear them Play...

After the debacle that was the presale for Vertigo, where it took me all day to get my tickets and yet got another set first attempt when they went on general release the next day. I would like to say thanks to theose who have made the whole expereience a lot less frustrating this time. I got...

Leading up to the release of HTDAAB I devoured every snippet of information about the album, read all the reviews and got the illicit copy days before its release. Result= A totally jaded purchase of a new album from a band that I love. There was no surprises in any of the tracks. I knew...

The subject of Where The Streets Have No Name performances on the Vertigo tour Has been discussed on here many, many times. How they just didnt get it right. From the follow on from Pride, the African flags, no red screen and lack of blinding white lights. Personally it is my favourite song...

I have tried a few bootlegs from the Vertigo tour and find them pretty un listenable to be honest. I have Manchester and Munich plus I have heard snippets of others. The reason for this is Not dodgy vocals Not poor sound quality Not mistakes Not bad versions of the songs. The reason is crowd...

Is there any one else out there who doesn't get the whole Mirror Ball man and Macphisto portion of Zoo Tv. I can sort of understand where Mirror Ball man came from.The link with TV Evanaglism and how that fitted with the whole Zoo Tv theme. "I have a vision! Television Television" etc I also...

This time exactly a year ago i was watching U2 in manchester. The absolute pinacle of my life as a fan of U2. But now my u2 life is oh so quiet. You see, although I love u2 I dont buy or tarde bootlegs, I dont hunt for that ellusive alternative version and I just dont get demos at all! I...

Apologies if this has been posted before But Does anyone out there know the translation of the pavorotti (excuse the spelling) part of this song. I love This song and I would really like to know what is actually being sung. Any ideas? Thanks

I know the subject of tunings for live performances has cropped on here a few times. However, I found something very interesting on Saturday that had me running to get my strat. I was watching the vertigo dvd, strumming along casually in a semi drunken state to most of the songs. I knew SBS...

Any one know how U2 came to add the chiming that rings through the intro and the rest of the live version of Bad. First time I heard it was on Rattle & Hum, I presume they started using it when they toured UF. I can imagine the song sounding a little empty without it. Any ideas?

Finally got round to watching this after buying a dvd off ebay. This was obviously copied from vhs, quality is good but not brilliant. I never really got POP as I have said on hear a few times, however I am now a great fan of this album and I wish I had caught one of the UK shows. I thought...

Just reading the setlist from Last nights MSG show in New York It noted that Bono sang the snippet Shine like stars to the end of With Or Without You. I had never thought of this as a snippet more like additional lyrics Bono added to the song now and again. Is it from another song? If so who...

After witnessing the Manchester show from right up against the left hand b stage target I have to say this is THE place to see a U2 concert from. To see the band up close was out of this world. However, I felt Sorry for all of those "trapped" behind the barrier though while people lay around...

Did anyone catch the Culture show interview on BBC two tonight? Great interview lousy sound from the gig though Bad recording or was it really as bad as that? It was interesting to hear the quote from Edge that it takes good reasons for U2 to hall its arse around the world these days. And...

I am just curious about how the intro to streets is being performed this tour. Is it a) close to the original ie like joshua tree/Elevation b) Long organ intro and very short guitar ie like Zoo tv c) Very little organ straight into guitar ie like Pop mart. I think this one moment in a u2...

Just interested if the person who posted the very very accurate pictures of the inside stage design has any of the outdoor set up. Any ideas anyone?

I have read with great interest the the set lists from the first four shows they have thrown up a few surprises. I have to say though I am completley baffled by the ommision of crumbs from your table. Considering the strong African theme of pride streets & one I thought crumbs would fit in...

One of the things that annoys me with these forum pages is the constant use if acronyms. It soemtimes takes so long to work out what they are. HMTMKMKM for example or IGWSHA Maybe if U2 didnt releases songs with such long titles we wouldnt have to suffer acronyms. Just as a bit of fun I...

Between 29th March, the day after the show of the tour, and the date you go and see the show for yourself will you be finding as much info about the show as you can or will you try and resist the urge to look to retain some surprises. Personally I would like to have an idea of what songs they...

I havent seen The Popmart Video from Mexico but have just recently started listening to the audio from the concert and I am really enjoying it. I had found other popmart shows a little week especially vocally. But I think the Mexico show is Excellent. What is the video like Is it worth...

I eventually got onto ticket screen for mancheter but got to purchase screen and got bombed out for going over 5 minute time limit. Now my access code is invalid!!! Five minutes!! they want you to make a minimum £240 purchase in five minutes, you go back and check your seats and you get thrown...

Just watched this again on DVD for the first time in years and something grabbed my attention that I remember from watching the video. This may have already been discussed on hear, I am just wondering if anybody knows the answer. Edge starts streets with an all black fender with rosewood neck...
