Easily the performance of the night by Radiohead--that kicked ass.

I've enjoyed this Grammy show. Radiohead lost me a few albums ago, but this was agreat performance. I enjoyed U2...reminded me of ZOO TV which was one of my all time favorite live shows from ANY band. McCartney with Dave Grohl was cool. Coldplay, Stevie Wonder (despite the Jonas Bros) and Niel Diamond still to come...

 

[Zoots]

That was pretty damn epic.

I'll bet Radiohead fans aren't bitching about Thom's vocal imperfections, or his spastic, goofy movements

Haha also a great point! Let's not get carried away praising Radiohead and putting U2 down. Aside from the sound quality, U2 was awesome too!

Well, ateaseweb (RH fan site) has just gone into meltdown; must have been good.

thank you nurse chrissi

I think that as U2 fans we are very "self-conscious" about how U2 sounds, looks, performs, etc. We feel this way about them because it feels like they're a part of us, and we feel about them like we would about ourselves. If we look at their performance tonight as an "outsider" then it seems a lot better than how we thought of it as.

AtEase is unbelievably slow even when all members of Radiohead are on summer vacation with their families. No wonder it melts down now.

 

[cdirani]

Without fool comparisons, I feel glad to have enjoyed U2, McCartney,Coldplay and Radiohead shows tonight. They were fab. And I'm here waiting patiently to hear Robert Plant and Alison Kraus, too.

U2's performance is on YouTube now

 

[LemonMelon]

No Colin Greenwood, no 15 Step. Sorry, but that song lacked its usual groove, and Johnny got buried in parts. Didn't like it at all.

 

[TheEdge1967]

Bono screwed up the let me in the sound part. Other than that it was a good performance...

 

[nirniva]

...That said, is it just me, or is 15 Step the worst song on the album?

Not backed by a marching band, it ain't.

 

[coemgen]

I thought it was good. They seemed to have more energy and be more into it than previous performances.

 

[ravin30000]

U2 rocked! Love Larry's mega-kit. Bono's in top form. Super excited for this tour.

 

[yenlard]

after watching it on you tube.........why all the bitching? they sounded great. bono had great energy. after hearing the early comments i thought it was going to be pretty bad. quite the opposite.

Not sure if someone already posted, but there's already an HD capture on u2torrents. 498mb for a three and half minute song!!

 

[Rosebud]

Mmmmkay, I just left for a couple of hours...did I miss anything?

 

[rock888nwo]

What a nonsense song they played. Plain Boring. Their perfomance on the other side is always honest.

I liked U2 and those kids that played with Steve Wonder.

Quoted For MAJOR Truth.

This is so exaclty what I've always felt about the U2 fan community (myself included). It feels like we're parents watching our 7 year old perform in the school's production of Stone Soup.

The performance was really good. People bitch about the strangest things.

That's so true. I was so relieved when it was over and saw that they were able to pull it off.

 

[catlhere]

This is Interference. U2 bitching is pretty much the norm, sadly.

 

[RademR]

u2 rocked it....technical issues with the sound, but edge's guitar was solid, especially during the "let me in the sound" part. when they get it right, they are going to be on FIRREEEE

bono messsed up a few times, especially the the "in the sound" bridge.

overall, good start. this was their first performance of the song...tough to do it on such a big stage.

 

[popacrobat]

LOL Neil Diamond. Really?

 

[ramblin rose]

LOL Neil Diamond. Really?

Why is he talking the song.

So did anyone notice if U2 stayed in the audience?

 

[The John Tree]

Agreed. Settle down. I thought it was a great performance, and Bono's voice is in fine form.
