Back in May, someone tweeted at Neil McCormick and asked if he felt U2 had more tours in them after this one. He responded, "There is no chance of U2 quitting in my opinion. They're all really enjoying it."

They'll come back when Adam runs out of art museums

Come on now love, don't you look baaack!

Has the band's use of the PA system to "fill in" songs peaked on this tour, or does it just seem that way? Bono's vocals on Love is All, the strings on Lights of Home, the chanting on Love is Bigger, etc. There are probably more examples. If it's consistent with past tours, how far back does...

Looking forward to Periscoping from the lower bowl tonight! :rockon:

I thought the sound was great at last night's Chicago show. Crisis averted.

Bono coming out alone for Love Is All We Have Left is diluting the impact of the band's entrance for The Blackout, right? I'm not sure the 1-2 punch is as effective as The Blackout alone would have been.

Omfg. :lol:

I'd think about advising Bono to ditch the round sunglasses.

I was at two Madison Square Garden shows in 2015 and the sound was unambiguously loud and clear. I don't remember having any complaints about it; I loved the band's new speaker setup. At the Vegas shows last weekend, the sound wasn't nearly as loud, and it never felt "immersive" like on the I&E...

We had GA tickets for Vegas 2 and didn't want to worry about securing a good spot on the floor, so we strolled in around 7:30 with the intention of hanging around near the back. We ended up about 4 people deep along the middle of the catwalk because there was so much room. We were really close...

I went into the Vegas shows completely spoiler-free. Here are the thoughts that went through my mind during the shows. Night one (upper level): --First act: The sound is not great up here. And this is way more similar to the I&E shows than I expected. I appreciate them steering away from the...

I was at the Vegas shows and they didn't seem nearly as loud as the I&E shows (at least compared to the Madison Square Garden shows I attended in 2015). I don't mean the crowd--I mean the band/sound system. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Agree/disagree? Also, Bono's lower registers...

Ticket now unavailable. Thanks all!

For the Vegas show on 5/12, I'm looking to trade one Red Zone 1 ticket for one regular GA ticket. Please PM me to discuss as I'm trying to steer clear of the forum to avoid spoilers. Thanks!

Not sure why people are surprised by the longer sets comment. “Longer sets” = back to I&E show length. The Joshua Tree shows had an opening act and were shorter. Now we’re reverting to the previous setup.

Love is Bigger will close the show, and the 2:50 - 3:00 mark of that song is when Bono will say his last "Thanks for coming out!" type line. Then sing the rest of it, including an "All you need is love" snippet.

Here's why The Best Thing is a bad bet to open the show: -It's a not a rocker -They like playing it acoustic and might go that route for the tour, which means it could be an E stage song -While it was technically the lead single, I don't think that counts for much. For one thing, they chose to...

I'm convinced The Blackout will open the show. I think Love is Bigger will close the show. I'm guessing every SoI song except Every Breaking Wave gets replaced by a SoE song. Following the 2015 tour's structure, I think Gone could take UTEOTW's spot as the dramatic Act One closer. From the...

Hope you'll do a full album-by-album tour prediction for U2gigs, like last time! That was a fun read.

It's hard for me to imagine a single SoI song, let alone two, as a nightly regular. My guess is they will pretty much swap in SoE for SoI and maintain the same balance of old stuff vs. new.

You think they're going to play 9 new songs every night?

Has anyone else noticed that the bottom of the back of the CD case misquotes the lyrics to Love is Bigger? It's supposed to be "start singing and stop talking."

Totally. I also thought they might have cringed when Robin said other acts feel like they need to have a gimmicky release strategy for their album.

The Blackout is going to be the show opener, I'm sure of it. I bet the nightly standards from SoE will be: The Blackout You're The Best Thing About Me Get Out Of Your Own Way American Soul (ugh) Summer of Love Little Things If I had to pick another, I'd say Love is Bigger might close the shows.
