All this talk about an aging band but Mick Jagger is 77 and still recording and planning on touring...and their last tour got rave reviews I don't see why U2 can't have the same longevity. Maybe it's less album making, more single/EP releases, more tours...but they still have something in the...

I went to all three tours (2 shows on JT30). Aside from relatively static playlists, I think all three tours were great. The only moment that felt was really phoned in was RHMT. I wish they had played that more like the record. Other than that we’ve had two solid albums of music and three...

I came into true U2 fandom just as Rattle and Hum was released...and I’ve always thought it was a great record. I’d love to see a Lovetown Tour homage.

I really enjoyed this tour. The opening three song sequence was masterful stagecraft IMO. I really got into The Blackout after seeing it live. There were parts that drag a bit but I found that to be true with TJT2017 and I+E tours as well. I don’t expect 2 hours of all high...every concert I’ve...

Seeing A Sort of Homecoming and Acrobat live in a 12 month stretch made my decade. I think I'd go TJT2017, then E+I, then I+E. All good tours though. I saw I+E in MSG, TJT2017 - Chicago 2, TJT2017 in Kansas City, and E+I in Omaha.

U2 are going to realize that they can make more money on hologram tours...maybe the ticket prices come way down but so do the expenses. Who wants to trot out a ZooTV replica in 2021 when they are 60+ and can just have Willie Williams put together a hologram tour that gives hardcore fans some...

I think the Belfast sound check DD was much better than the Dublin concert rendition. I think Edge should have taken the lead. Too bad because I really love that song and was really excited by the sound check, but the videos from Dublin make it seem a little flat. Maybe it’s just not translating...

America is depressing as fuck. I live in a shithole country that doesn’t value the lives of its own citizens...puts profits over people...etc, etc. Depressing as fuck.

I was at the show last night. For me, Acrobat was worth the price. Some SOI rehashed footage...but they were good songs. Gloria was a bonus. Best Thing in its current version just does not excite anyone. I was in the upper deck (great vantage point)and it was loaded with casuals. It is so...

touche.

That makes sense. It's like a loss leader...don't care about breaking even on ticket revenue because we'll get their gambling $. Know how to make money in a casino? Own one.

It would be cool if they went to London ONT...I have family nearby and would definitely make the trip.

Why not just go to Twin Cities then? Bigger population base there...and two arenas to chose from for dates.

I was half-joking of course, but...seriously did we anticipate U2 booking a venue like Mohegan Sun on this tour? I am sorry I did not forsee that.

Maybe they'll pop in and play the hits at the Minnesota State Fair this summer :)

TIL U2 is now playing casinos. If you look at the schedule, U2 is playing Mohegan Sun on the 3rd, and Steely Dan/Doobie Brothers are right behind them on 8th. Well, half of Steely Dan that is...

Has it pretty much run out of gas at this point or do you expect the US tour will kick sales up a notch?

I couldn't mark anything as great or classic on this album. A couple good U2 songs, a whole lot of average U2 songs, and a couple tracks which should go right in the trash bin. It's a decent album but I've lost interest in most of it at this point - 2018 is probably not going to be a big U2...

My second or third favorite song on SOE. I really love it...even after a month and change it hasn't really lost anything for me...whereas some of the other songs have worn the welcome a bit more.

A month in - any songs on SOE you are just done with? I'm through with The Blackout. I think it's mostly dross and shit lyrics. What happened is I listened to Acrobat and then The Blackout sequentially because I thought, "oh here's a pairing of angsty angry songs". The latter clearly doesn't...

Bono could have chooses his words a little more better. Frankly I’ve never been impressed by the way he comes across in magazine interviews though.

Down to 32 on the Billboard 200.

Yeah but they couldn't keep the momentum up and the window closed. they only have 1 WS trophy to show for it...not like the Yankees or Giants past successes etc. the Alex Gordon resigning was atrocious and they let Ben Zobrist get away [emoji45]. That parade was awesome though.

My Royals are going to be disastrous the next couple years. They are probably in the worst shape.

I went to two TJT shows in 2017. One with a group of hardcore U2 fans and one with some casuals from work. The casuals (mostly colleagues in their 40s) were all about "I went to a Joshua Tree show in 1987 and loved it!". When I asked about the ZooTV tour and follow up albums/tours...it was...
