This is downright nasty, but islamophobic TERF’s aren’t worth listening to.

Any luck getting tix with 3 new shows added? Thread went dead even with new shows added.

Didn't even try. I need to be in New York for a conference a few days after the last show, and extending my trip a few days so that I can see Bono's Reading Rainbow didn't seem like a thing even worth discussing with the wife.

Sometimes it's best to read the room and live to fight another day

[phanan]

lol, I do that every day

Always helps to choose the battles you know you can win

My wife loves when I leave her alone.

However yes It was much easier when I lived in NYC. The joy of walking to and from home from a concert is a gift.

Now I’m CT burbs and it’s 90 min metro north to grand central. Not terrible. Driving and traffic and parking is what kills all of these events for me.

yea i'm in DC... if i was still in NY it would be a no brainer.

i'm told it will become easier to, ya know, do shit once the kids can operate on their own without fear of them falling out the window or some other random bullshit, or so the rumor goes.

To a degree.
But then you’ll be older and even more tired.

i just found this. watch before it's gone...

[prbiker15]

That was fantastic.
Torna a Surriento was amazing, I probably would have been blown away in person.

[clerks]

I was lucky to see it in person, but watching some of it again, now can clearly hear the connection to new reboot versions, but these are better live than on the album, so it's another new take...

I knew that! No wonder you care about the politics!

That fear never goes away. Your life is over! Enjoy fatherhood!

Holy crap I don’t think he’s sang the falsetto part in COBL like that since the vertigo tour.

Yeah! And I'm at work now so can't watch the video; but I'm pretty sure he hit the "feeeelll" in Vertigo for the first time since the Vertigo tour.

Just reliving the moment here- it was only a little over 2 months ago for me. However, it was spine tingling amazing and emotionally overwhelming getting that first look of Bono walking out on that stage,

It was a couple things for me:

1) The entrance has always been dramatic and a high point for U2 shows.
2) The obvious come back after COVID, which I still try not to take for granted! Things are tough now, obviously, but I always try and think back to April 2020 when we couldn't sit in restaurants never mind see a show.
3) City of Blinding Lights was the first song I ever saw them perform as my first show was on Vertigo. I liked it at the time, but as I've sat with it over the years, it has moved into top tier U2 for me.

I relate to it more and more the older I get- and it's taken on an emotional weight since the I&E tour that wasn't there (in my perception) on Vertigo and 360.

I can’t help but think this turn toward dark humor is due to Bono’s album cover photo.

(I’m all for the dark humor)
