One thing about Phish’s series - it’s clearly possible to quickly produce a whole show’s video from the Sphere. So damnit U2, release one already!

I think they have very particular ideas about their stage presentation which don’t include having a fifth person on stage. With PJ, it’s just about showing up to see some people play music - if there are extra people on stage, cool, they add to the sound. These days it’d be weird if Boom...

I had no idea that was Terry. How cool.

Ah, but your Bram feed was when we didn’t have any others! It was great 😊 Some day I want one of those rig rundown videos but from the guy who programs the metronome for the IEMs.

Now you've got me curious. Unless I'm missing something, this isn't in mono. And I hear plenty of B. Just took it off of the web as it was playing last night, haven't done anything to it yet - here's one track just out of interest. Until The End Of the World .mp3

Listening back to this now and it sounds great. More guitar than in that matrix from 11/1 which is nice.

That 11/1 show is eerily good. I knew he wouldn’t, but listening back to it I was so hoping he’d go for the high C in wild horses - he can totally hit it, with the shape he’s in these days. I get why he doesn’t. But still.

I set it to record and then had to leave, so I’m very much looking forward to how this sounds.

It shouldn’t surprise me but it’s amazing this is in 3 days and u2.com hasn’t said anything.

Looking forward to finding the time to get that this weekend.

A quarter billion dollars. Holy hell.

I just hope it doesn’t meet the same fate as JT30 where they don’t get it out between album cycles and then it gets lost ever after.

Mostly had good people around me on the floor bar one very tall bloke who spent most of the time filming. I took a few pictures, who wouldn’t, but video of whole songs on the floor is difficult to do without interfering with those around you.

Something I was thinking about last night with these shows - and even a couple of tours prior to an extent - is how cool it has been to see rarely or never played songs from AB become live staples. Go tell someone in 2017 that Acrobat and Wild Horses would have been played at most shows on the...

Don’t get any big ideas, Sir Paul. I’ve seen and enjoyed many of your live shows, but you have no voice left anymore. It’s finished.

We got 40! What a lovely surprise. Band were clearly giving it their all for this last one, a really special show. And thank god the techs fixed the dead panel in the Sphere in time for the show.

I am enjoying the security person’s enthusiastic speech to the wristband line that “some of you may have numbers on your hands. Nobody here cares.”

Sitting here in a bar on Fremont St, I hope everyone seeing them tonight has a blast. Can’t wait for tomorrow.

U2 have always been bad judges of their own material. SoE is pretty slim pickings though. I loved SoI (and still do!), but the Experience record was a dud apart from a couple of tracks imo. The most exciting thing about a new U2 album will be not having SoE as their most recent new material.

It is. Crazy they didn’t find a place for it in the 2018 show.

I was nervous for them. They have such a good track record of making awesome stage shows, and they were clearly enamored enough with the venue technology to go for it, but it was still a high visibility thing and it would have sucked to see them make a mess of it. I was also a bit worried about...

I’d better start making that sign asking for Return Of The Stingray Guitar.

Yeah, I’m assuming Saturday’s show will be more of a scramble in GA than something in early Feb was. Just trying to set my expectations, sounds like if I get a wristband in the morning and come back in the late afternoon I’m in with a chance of a decent spot.

Oh, that sounds fine. I’m not trying to be on the rail, just not tucked away somewhere.

Ah, that helps, thanks.
