Davis Guggenheim should make a doc about the lead-up to this shoot.

Am I the only one here who likes YSSML? I guess so...
I'm grateful for whatever they choose to give us at this point. If anyone has earned retirement at 60, it's U2.
revisitng old songs.. new keys sigs/arrangements
I'm guessing they're trying to redefine their legacy a bit..position themselves as songwriters, as much soundscapers.. get ready for the likes of a a piano centric downtempo Ultraviolet

I'll never forget my own Interference meltdown when the band introduced her mask during the 360 Tour.
The only time I've been and Anti-Masker.
I still have one.
the U2 lads should likely stop calling things girly.
i also have no idea what a spenk is.
Are U2 just too big to do that sort of thing now? No massive lightshow, video walls or even themes, just play the music and sell a few t-shirts?
They're big enough to do whatever they want, but too big to do something like this and have it be sustainable..
Confirmed Rumor - Adam Clayton has been cancelled.
My understanding of the industry is rusty and antiquated, but something along the lines of:
They're big enough to do whatever they want, but too big to do something like this and have it be sustainable. Especially now that U2's entire career hinges on their ability to tour for Live Nation, the amount of people that U2 employ to go on the road is far too large for touring anything smaller than arenas. Even essential crew - many of whom are probably on retainer and/or full-time employees - would create bloat, because while the venues are smaller... the rest of the tour remains the same size. By that I mean, a lot of buses (lots and lots and lots of buses - band/production/management), hotels, tour crew, local crew, etc.
They'd have to charge thousands of dollars per ticket to be able to cover the cost of touring, and trying to justify that when they could sell out stadiums, or multi-night arena runs.
That's not to say they couldn't really dig in, pare everything down and do it... but we all know that'll never happen.
U2 in theaters would have a face value of around $500 and still be impossible to get.
As long as they film it and actually release it on streaming platforms, I don’t care who is actually at a show.
Can place most of the blame on cellphone video becoming usable right about that time period, along with the audience getting older.
I don't usually say too much stereotypical old guy shit. But I do really feel sorry for people 30 and under that never experienced concerts without a half motionless crowd with phones in front of their faces.
I saw a concert a few years ago that employed the Yondr pouch system and it was one of the best experiences.
