Looking to make a last minute spontaneous trip for any of the remaining shows. Let me know fellow fans - time for me to dream out loud. Thanks.

Some time ago, I had a series of topics regarding the 'best' live versions of various U2 tracks. It was mainly a personal thing for me, as I like to make setlists from live tracks and my obsessive need to optimise leads to this :drool: The criteria are loose, but in general 'best' is taken to...

Just noticed that 'U2 at the BBC' is on BBC-HD tonight at 19:20 until 19:50. It is the rooftop performance which has been shown a few times, but not since Christmas. So, if anyone wants some high definition U2 goodness, there we go.

I have been working on the following picture for the last couple of weeks. It is almost finished (thankfully!). It is 3ft x 3ft acrylic on canvas. Here are some more I have done in previous years:

Here is a 12"x12" acrylic on canvas reproduction of the Pop album cover - one of my favourites. I am considering doing more U2 artwork to sell on ebay, but I'm not sure if it's financially viable. Anyway, hope you like it:

In preparation for the tour, I am trying to make an updated "best" live playlist. The song I am currently focusing on is GONE, that gem from Pop. Does anyone have any good calls on great performances with good sound quality? I am currently partial to the version from the Elevation Boston DVD.

By three spanish guys... it gets better as it goes on. His voice reminds me of the lead singer of VAST. YouTube - Magnificent - acoustic version

Whenever I am watching tour DVDs or looking at pictures I always notice the huge majority of fans are white - anyone else noticed this? I realise this is in the European and US DVDs/bootlegs, and won't apply elsewhere necessarily. Is this due to the style of music, U2 themselves - or is it...

So I am pretty OCD about naming my files - obviously music is a part of this. For years now I have labelled live music (both tags and filename) in the following format: U2 - Bad [Live from Chicago, 21st September 2005) For official live releases, I use the following: U2 - Bad [Live, Rattle...

Does anybody know what it is (or a similar one)? I am talking about the one with the filled in "o"s

This is acapella version of Discotheque by a small band I found by chance: YouTube - FORK - Discotheque (U2 cover)

How closely will GOYB artwork follow the albums?

Now that we have the tracklist, artwork and release date... does anybody have ideas on the title of the tour? Will it be named after a single as in the last two, or a play on the album name a-la Popmart and ZooTV? Or maybe something completely different? I think "Unknown Caller Tour" would be...

As we know, U2 are in the process of remastering the "back catalogue". The question which strikes me is what their definition of "back catalogue" actually is - i.e. how many albums will be remastered? It is a lock they will go to Zooropa, and Pop is also a likely candidate. But what after...

Underrated gem of a song which I feel should be on all copies of Bomb. I stumbled upon this pretty (ie, non shambolic) version of the song: YouTube - U2 - Fast Cars (Live From Chicago,Sixth Night) I really like what Edge does at the end of the song.

This song doesn't get much love around here, but it is easily one of my favourite songs of the past decade - especially in its live incarnation. I recall listening intently to the Live from Boston rendition for many years, until I discovered bootlegs. My current favourite is Miami 2nd December...

I mentioned in another thread that I have a playlist of U2 equivalent to one CD in length (80 minutes). It seems a less arbitrary measure than some and makes the choices more difficult. For example, I wanted Night & Day on my disc, but it is basically too long! I also look around for mixes of...

Here is the second instalment of the series :wink: This time we are considering some of the best live renditions of The Unforgettable Fire, the title track from the atmospheric 1984 gem. Remember that the versions we consider must be of good sound quality :yes: I suggest the following...

The past week I have been thinking a lot about the best live performances of various songs. This is nothing new, I have been updating my "perfect" U2 concert for several years now (called The Goal is Soul incidentally :drool: ). However, I always have the sensation that I might be missing a...

Reading the "celebrations" over the the Pop anniversary, I have been trying to put together my favoured version of the album. I noticed on U2 Wanderer that the Please single contained these two edits; could anybody explain how they differ to album/single versions?

Due to some mix-ups at the start of December I have only managed to order this today, but the order from Zavvi came back returned! In the UK HMV and Zavvi (formerly Virgin Megastore) now list it as out of print! I wasn't aware it was an ACTUAL limited edition :( So, where am I going to get it...

Here is my latest picture. It is 60cm x 50cm acrylic on canvas. The picture is of the 4 members of U2 in halftone black & red style. Red & black was the colour scheme of their last album, hence the choice. The red looks more like vermillion in the pictures, but is darker in reality. I am selling...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/U2-War/dp/B000NJXC8K/ref=sr_1_1/026-7744166-6024451?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1174176092&sr=1-1 Is this one of those unofficial things, or a U2 release?

I don't know where else to post this, so I guess here will do for now. I really think this is cool, and want to buy it - but where? Have any of you guys come across the actual, or replica of this shirt?

What is with the packaging on this? It looks like a stretched CD jewel case. Fine, saves space and therefore good, but why not release all their other releases in this packaging type? Also, is it just the UK or do people's 18 Singles regular CD have weird rounded corners? Never seen that...
