"don't let the bastards grind you down"
lame.
look, i'm glad you had a good time, seriously. but to consistantly play the same song twice in the same show is ridiculous, ESPECIALLY when you have a catalogue as big and grand as u2's.
and four times in two shows in the same city? you can't 7ustify that. not when people pay big money to see them, that's not right.
and don't tell me bad, until the end of the world, mofo or please wouldn't have kicked ass twice as hard as vertigo x2?
Never ceases to amaze me how people can deliver a show verdict when they haven't seen it. No doubt there were other songs not played that people would have preferred, but that's always going to be the case.
As Bono said, they are citing opera when an encore would mean just that, the performance of one song (if not the opening) song from a concert. There's a reason behind it and even tho people like yourself don't agree with it, the reason is valid in the eyes of the band.
Jesus, all the band are doing is trying something new...creating a buzz at the end of a show rather than letting it end on a soft note. They know Vertigo gets a great crowd reaction, so they play it again...big deal. Old arguement, boring arguement, move the hell on for God's sake.
Be assured that if U2 had delivered a poor show in terms of performance, I would be telling you and everyone that they did. To call a STUNNING 23 song show lame based on ONE song being repeated, is to use your own word, "lame"! Especially when you weren't there mate!
Interesting that despite you saying you're glad we had a good time, you're still rubbishing the show despite positive comments being posted here. I find it rather sad that you feel you have to step all over us like that.
It's tedious!
