Sphere #5 - 8 Oct setlist party

[dan_smee]

Hi all - almost time to rock and roll!

U2songs are live here - https://u2songs.mixlr.com/events/2803130

 

[dstalksalot]

Thanks. Here again. I have nothing better to do.

I like this remix of Lemon. It's fun.

 

[dan_smee]

Bono sounds better and better

 

[dan_smee]

Shf

 

[dstalksalot]

Still haven't found! Sounds lovely.

 

[dstalksalot]

Nice guitar work on in the name of love. And the dedication to Israel with the lyrics change...getting a little emotional.

 

[clerks]

So just 2 songs between AB tonight right?

 

[dstalksalot]

Still haven't found
Pride
MLK

I think. Was there one more?

 

[DomCobb]

Seems like MLK was a more full rendition? But I’m not listening just reading secondhand.

 

[U2inUtah]

Edge guitar solo on Love Is Blindness is so good

 

[dstalksalot]

How do we feel about the longer pause and the new Elevation mix?

 

[dstalksalot]

Got some super funky bass tonight in Elevation. Did y'all catch that?

 

[Sickly Vulpine]

I gotta say, while Atomic City is probably not going to go down as a U2 classic, it really earns its spot in the set. It foots the bill as a one-off for this Vegas residency, and I mean that in a good way. Good performance, good energy. I know bringing up Get On Your Boots doesn’t inspire confidence, but similar to that song, it really has a certain gusto live that works in the set. There’s definitely a charge there.

No Angel of Harlem and a full acoustic (?) version of MLK…you know, a 4th song would be great - like the first 3 shows.

I have a friend who went to the show with her dad, should ask if they had fun. Still 2 months to go for me…

It reminds me of The Miracle of Joey Ramone (also not in a bad way).

 

[Chizip]

I like Atomic City, will always remind me of the Sphere shows and that's a good thing

Good, we're all happy about Atomic City. ;D

Pretty sure you can sing the OH OH OHHHs from Joey Ramone over this entire track. I think they’re even in the same key.

 

[trevgreg]

Similar chords, yeah. The main riff to The Miracle is something like Am-G-F, and Atomic City is something like Am-C-F, Dm-F-G.

 

[dan_smee]

There's already an audio recording of this show on u2start.

I'm not going to share stuff freely available here, but I will update the covers here:
