No kidding. At all these shows, it seems to get one of the best reactions each night. It was barely played at 1/3 of the shows in 2015 too, so it wasn't like it didn't get a break at some point either.
Heck, after the Minneapolis show in 2011, I can remember a group of teenage boys walking out of the stadium debating what song was the best of the night. One kid was adament that it was Elevation. He wasn't going off about how "only" three NLOTH songs were being played or anything like that.

Has there been any discussion on how much computer magic is going on with Bono's voice? He sounds phenomenal, best I've heard him in years. Almost....

Yeah, not sure on this. I was noticing watching a few videos that there does seem to be more full backing vocals. Sounds like straight Bono on the actual versus and chorus, but seems there is a bit more backing "support" than i remember. Could just be the crappy video quality that's playing with my ears, but not sure.

I could definitely see that. I noticed on SJ1 (not so much last night) that Edge's microphone seemed pretty loud. Could just be that fullness making it sound so good.

I noticed during 13, the crew accidentally played a prerecorded GOOYOW while they were playing.

Iiiiinteresting. I remember hearing the sound, but couldn't pick up what it was.

I'd rather hear Elevation than WOWY or Beautiful Day, to name two classics I'm more sick of.

I don't think that i'm alone here in saying I would rather hear NO "classics". Give me the great, rarely or never played stuff. I just can't with the perennial warhorses any more.
Maroon Bells
The Fly
Me too. I was sick of WOWY after the JT tour. Everyone loves Beautiful Day but I've never been a fan of that song, especially live.
I just want Streets back. I've been to 16 shows and it's the one song where you look around at all the first-timers and see that "Holy fuck that was awesome" look on their faces. Yeah, see? See why this band is the best live band ever? There are others (Vertigo, Follow, Sunday), but Streets is the only U2 live must.
I'm sure I'm the only one who thinks so.

It was really powerful both nights in San Jose. I didn’t notice anything fishy though. Sounded great on Acrobat.
Anyone else notice Love Is All We Have Left? I could be wrong but it looked/sounded like he was singing the non-vocoder portions live this time.

I definitely miss Streets and WOWY. They're warhorses for a reason. They're absolutely great, still.
I could live without Pride, although the crowd gets really into it, and you can tell the band loves playing it still.
One needs to go. No one is having fun with this one.

I think he did. I listened to a recording of it on the first night, and was surprised (because I thought he was singing but it was the recording). But I just listened to last night's recording and it sounds live.

Man, I just read that little nugget about the noises and screen opening the show. I wish I’d realized it.

Watching RFD... there's a brief part in which Bono stops singing and you can hear the album vocals in the background.... awk.
You can see the entire "sun comes stealing" part in the second verse at 1:10 his mic is muted and the album vocals take over. I also noticed it during the "hey hey" parts.
Have they ever done this before?
A solid performance otherwise, hope it stays in the set. Seems to have gotten a good response.

Yep, both San Jose ones were live, with him obviously harmonising with the vocoder part.

Unfortunately, those comments are a dime a dozen on any band's message board. Guess I wouldn't hold my breath!
The fact that they're not playing Joshua Tree songs (yet) is pretty significant though. But of course, we're already over it a few shows in.

Doesn’t sound like the studio vocals - clearly they didn’t unmute his mic in time.

Oh i know. That's why i think my idea of them doing a tour of two night stops, first night ALL classics, second night, all more rare or lesser played material would be a huge success. Casuals would go to the first night, Some to both, Fans would go to both nights, super die hards may just go to the second.
You rang?

I'll meet ya there. No Pride, No Streets, No WOWY, No Still haven't found, No NYD, No Desire, No Angel, No Beautiful Day, No SBS, No Mysterious Ways, No One, aaaaaaahhhhhh... perfect.

Yep.
Let me fix one part...
Spoiled die hards will que for weeks for the first show, get rail, and then leave after the first song to start the line for night 2.

Will they carry their clipboards with them to make sure the list is in place and not tampered with?
