MERGED-->All U2 on SNL Discussion 2c

[mdw3935]

This is horrible

 

[elfyx]

yeah, i'm thinking that the boys must be feeling pretty disgusted. first they screw up the sound mix- so much so that they almost couldn't finish Vertigo, then the show they're on is just shameful.

 

[JOFO]

ok, I'm outta beer, so I'm climbing into bed with the tv on....

bring it!!!

 

[mikal]

dammit, another skit.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

I don't want to say where (don't want to jinx it)...

There's a half-hour left, plenty of time for at least three more songs.

 

[RademR]

here in DC, def. in Madison Square garden, maybe Miami for the opener

 

[angel_28]

Montreal....I hope

 

[RobVox]

I would love to see them in Ireland, but we shall see how the funds are for this.

[mikal]

well, we have one more skit, then U2. the timeline doesn't look good though to fit in 2 U2 songs, but we'll see.

 

[victor_f]

mp3s?

 

[Danny Boy]

Vertigo uploading now.

i thought the backtrack was just on Top of the Pops. Either way, the performance and vibe the band gave off at that show was great, this one was good. I blame SNL's crappy stage work and lighting. Vertigo needs to be performed in darker lighting, not where you can see the bus depot or whatever the set desing is, and let bono run around, play with the camera a little more for god's sakes

There's lots of movement in the second (indoor) performance of Vertigo for Top Of The Pops on 15-10-2004. Uploading video after I've heard the rest of Dave's stream

Really good lighting and sound mix

 

[petrolheart]

If they play New Orleans, I'm there.

 

[mdw3935]

I will be at the DC show, maybe PA or DE.

 

[victor_f]

Denver... and maybe Miami!

 

[Danny Boy]

Vertigo uploading now.

The video, that is.

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

I liked the intro of "The Falconer" skit. Then the skit started. And it sucked. Though I do love the cheesy blue screen stuff here.

 

[shari schultz]

They have meetings to discuss skits, right? Imagine the ones they turned down *shiver*

Vertigo uploading now.

nice! i made a thread for yousendit links!

 

[pepokiss]

I'm quite confused on why vertigo, MD and ABOY are in the "right" tune and COBL is on the 1/2 down scale... like every other U2 song ever...

 

[sindaddy]

the dog is the best actor on the show

 

[RademR]

I would love to see them in Chicago also, they always put on a show there. I want to make it 4, but more realistcally im looking at 2-3.

 

[Diane L]

Now they're showing subtitles for a dog and a bird puppet?

 

[If you shout...]

This damn dog is ADORABLE!!!!!! ....and now he's eating bird vomit...sigh...

 

[dandy]

the things we endure just to see them play two songs...

 

[mikal]

i noticed that too. luckily, to the average listener, it's something they'll never notice.

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

Yeah, actually, the dog was really

Yeah i saw them in Chicago last time, they pulled some guy up on stage and he played backing piano with them, it was a great show!

[UnforgettableLemon]

I noticed this before with some of the other live performances ,but anyone else glad Bono started saying "uno" instead of "unos"?

 

[grant72]

for f*cks sake, this is painful to watch this show. now i know why i am usually out pouring alcohol down my throat on saturdays.
