I saw clips of audience interaction during UTEOTW....'bout time!.....this song screams for Edge/Bono interactions and the occasional biting audience members.

I think initially there were COVID concerns, so the interaction was limited.
But, uh, I think they've all had it by now so hey time to loosen up the reigns!

My stats are fun.
* First time I didn't see Pride live
* I've seen Acrobat played live an equal amount of times to the amount of times I've seen Streets played live.

Second stat is crazy. So you've *only* been to shows that played Acrobat?

Going back 12/1 and 12/2 and hoping that the break will allow them some time to try a new mid section. It won't happen, but I can hope.
My "favorite" stat is that I have seen 36 shows plus one Surrender. I have heard Vertigo 39 times.
Beautiful Day: 37 times. Pride: 36 out of 36. All of these beating Streets (35) and

Was wondering about this. Maybe they were recording or something. I don't think that happened in SoCal.

Vertigo on Vertigo tour was quite fun. Felt like a bit of a ride.
Nah, not recording... It was done as an homage to their "punk" roots/when they didn't have enough songs and repeated a song at the end of the setlist/encore in the true opera tradition of repeating a song...
I am shocked that they are not trying to make us barf by doing video at the Sphere in the same vein as to what we had during that tour.

I was expecting some of the familiar graphics and slightly worried, haha.

Had to go back and check... my stats are 2 shows without Larry. Bono, Edge and Adam were at all the other ones though.

Bono did have to cancel the one show a while back due to vocal issues.....does that count?Bono, Edge and Adam were at all the other ones though.
And the one show with Adam's tech for Zoo TV.
I was thinking about this today. The U2 performance consistency over the years and their massive catalogue and the many demos that most likely exist.
And the Beatles today with the new song! Macca and Ringo are using tech to isolate Lennon's vocals for a new song from an old demo.
What if U2 needed a Bono vocal?....the Peter Jackson technology is now making it possible for lower quality recordings to be utilized.
I don't want to think about what that would mean though.

Apparently Bono pulled a Bad last night. He went down into the rail gap during UTEOTW. Video is on FB group.

Yeah I saw this too. It's what this song has been missing. Everyone loves an occasional crowd interaction /Bono bite and the interplay with The Edge.
