Wouldn’t be surprised if Edge alone took that task upon himself. Maybe different versions of zoo station and mysterious ways were picked which weren’t given the all clear and the easy solution was to say let’s go with stuff that’s already out there. Cedarwood road oddly was from the paris show on the SOI live disc on a subscriber set with every other song on that disc being previously unreleased and it wouldn’t surprise me again if a different version was chosen that they weren’t happy with and they chose a quick and easy replacement.

I'd be surprised if they even have that much input. They may see the actual finished tracklist but I really think they delegate the entire thing to people that they trust won't make a decision that makes them look shitty.

Look, interference is hanging on by a thin thread as it is. If we got rid of baseless speculation about projects people haven't heard yet? We might as well just pack it in

Sure but eventually the buffet does close.

Sure. But until we actually hear it we can have opinions on the choices they made...also oddly they skipped 2001 versions of AB songs on this set.

I think since the announcement the inclusion of so cruel has been a bit underplayed, or specifically a supposedly more complete zoo tv version as opposed to the FTSD version or one of the shorter versions from the zoo tv tour. I’am curious as to just how complete a version it is. On u2gigs it says Bono sings the full lyrics which would make it stand out considerably compared to the other versions I mentioned. This is a song and a version that’s not only been unreleased in 30 years but never even heard before so it is a pretty big deal.

Why focus on that when we can instead focus on shit that doesn't matter?

Does Gavin Friday not do some of the work on releases like this for the band or have I totally imagined that?

Can’t wait to hear So Cruel…

Probably. Not like he has a real job.

**Headache in a Suitcase** · 10-02-2022, 09:40 PM

Chapter 2 reveals that we've had it all wrong this entire time. Bono's beat friend isn't Gavin Friday, rather his best friend is a TGI Friday.

One and Love is Blindness downloads available. LIB sounds great. We want these full shows!!!!

dan_smee · 10-15-2022, 04:06 AM

CNt complain about any of the four so far. For recent versions of One, that one is really good.

lightmyway91 · 10-15-2022, 04:50 AM

They could have chose a version of One where Bono sang all the lyrics at least. There were even plenty in 2017 where he sung it in fall. But it is a relatively brief part he let the crowd take over for so just about able to enjoy it. Love is blindness is great. That’s us got half the album now already since zoo station and mysterious ways had been previously released, looking forward to so cruel and acrobat most from the rest.

Apparently these are shipping, yet all the digital tracks aren't uploaded yet

mikal · 12-14-2022, 09:32 AM

When I get the CD, I can't wait to shove it in the lightning port of my iPhone.

DeVaul · 12-14-2022, 09:55 AM

Will Bono be signing the CDs at a given point during the show?

Just take your CD to the front of the stage, mid-show, and he will gladly sign it.

Wonder if they have the 2023 gift ready yet.

They could do the same thing with The Joshua Tree Tracks.
