Now they should complete the "holy trinity" from the October album and bring back "I Fall Down" (which would make me literally fall down if they did that one). October = THE most underrated U2 album forever.

It would be incredibly helpful for anyone especially people wondering which section to buy reserved seats!

I think the Ticketmaster page says if someone does this they risk losing all tickets without notice (even though the system appears to allow purchasing beyond the maximum).

I first subscribed years ago and was a current subscriber as of 9/9/14. But I wasn't put in the EXPERIENCE group. I guess tomorrow I find out if there are any good tickets left. If not, so be it...

The first bullet -- If you subscribed to U2.com before September, you are in the "Experience" group. Your presale will be tomorrow, 12/4/14, at 10:00 Venue Local Time -- is not how it worked for me. Once again they have screwed up a presale. I should've had EXPERIENCE access but they didn't put...

I would except they f---ed up my U2.com account so I don't have EXPERIENCE access even though I should. My question at this point is, will they EVER be able to get a presale right???

Decent performance of Volcano on BBC2 with Jools Holland, although the performance of that song sounds too much like Vertigo at the beginning. On the other hand, I was pleasantly surprised by their wonderful version of Every Breaking Wave -- a fantastic version really, much better than the...

Here's my list: Best - 2: Unforgettable Fire, Joshua Tree, Rattle & Hum 2nd - 1: Boy, War, October 3rd - 3: Achtung Baby, Pop, Zooropa 4th - (5): Songs of Innocence, Songs of Experience?, ? 5th - 4: ATYCLB, HTDAAB, NLOTH I *already* put Songs of Innocence -- the first in their next album...

Yep, and thank God they put all the acoustic stuff on one megatrack so folks wouldn't have to wear out their fingers pressing the skip button more than once.

Most of the acoustic stuff is AWFUL. Bono's voice is strained and out of tune and the guitar work on most of the acoustic tracks is not noteworthy, really. Surprise, surprise -- they miss the bass and drums big-time! As I said elsewhere, the bonus disc is only saved by The Crystal Ballroom...

With the possible exception of California, the entire acoustic series, I hate to say, is pretty bad. Most of them sound crappy. Minus drums and bass especially, the guitar work is basic and not really noteworthy, and on many of them Bono's vocals sound terrible -- strained, out of tune in many...

especially after the lines, "you don't wanna, you don't wanna know" it does sound like he sings, "f-- ... -king ... know" LOL.

Yes, and the TV commercial is basically the video!

Uhh no. This song screams out for a snippet of Roxy's Love Is The Drug. Same instrumental at the beginning, same tempo, and same key even I think.

Aha, so this is the "old school" approach where the 12" mix is an extended version of the "regular" one (in other words, I was incorrectly referring to it as a "remix"). Are folks going to do an extended song ranking of SOI including the new tracks? If so, for me Crystal Ballroom is going to...

Ask and ye shall receive!! Roxy Music - Love Is The Drug - YouTube

For example: Roxy Music - Love Is The Drug - YouTube Try watching this video with the sound muted, while playing Crystal Ballroom. It's almost an exact match with the backup singers dancing to the beat, LOL.

Well if that sounds like Arcade Fire then Arcade Fire owes Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music because that is what I hear especially at the beginning, with a bit of Bowie mixed in and later in the song I'm starting to hear a bit of The Clash and even early Robert Palmer. This song is ALL late 1970s, ALL...

Can now add these misheard lyrics from Crystal Ballroom (which is a fantastic track BTW): "...unbuttoning a cocoa dress..." and "...with a cocoa love..." LMAO

And the Apple iPhone commercial would be 1 minute of Crystal Ballroom with old footage of Bowie, Ferry/Roxy, and Robert Palmer! :D

I can hear a bit of Bowie, but I immediately heard Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music. Irresistably infectious sound to this one.

The beginning is sooo Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music. Love it!

The 12" mix is available now, streaming, for U2.com subscribers. Without the "regular" mix to compare it to, it's hard to know how this will be different from that. But it sounds great -- extremely catchy. Immediately reminded me of Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music! Lyrics are a little mushy/obscured in...

Bizarrely, I keep hearing "Baby, every dollar bill we steal." LOL. I actually prefer that to "every dog on the street" which is a real clunker of a lyric (one of the very few on this album BTW).

In California I originally heard the opening as literally repeating the Beach Boys: "Bar, Bar, Barbara Ann, Santa Barbara Bar, Bar, Barbara Ann, Santa Barbara Bar, Bar, Barbara Ann, Santa Barbara Bar, Bar, Barbara Ann, Santa Barbara" etc. Also: "Witches here, Montezuma" -- or "Witch is here...
