I was at the Irving Plaza and let's not get crazy, it was a really good show but I saw 5 shows on the Joshua Tree Tour and every one of them was better than Irving Plaza.

Between Bonos amazing voice, the return of 11 o'clock, amazing performances of every song, great set list, atmosphere in the club - just can't fault it at all

Well some of us were 5 when the Joshua Tree was released so probably wouldn't have understood the greatness on show. Of course their 80s and early 90s performances were amazing, they were young, full of ego and bravado and having the time of their lives. I still think for 50+ fellas they're still rocking, but time has a way of slowing down even the most tenacious.

However i would have loved to see them in the 80's!

Do we know anyone at the show?! Perhaps someone might periscope it!!

I don't have the heart to follow the show tonight. I'm sure I'll feel better tomorrow. It wouldn't have been so bad if it were because I didn't get tickets because they sold out. The fact that the contest lasted nearly 2 weeks drew out the torture.

We lost this battle, but seeing as there are plenty more LA shows to go, the Cali fans that lost out still have it pretty good.

 

[ckonanz]

Looks like they are rehearsing the whole Boy Album!

 

[prbiker15]

Looks like they are rehearsing the whole a few songs from the Boy Album!

Fixed.

If they play stories for boys tonight, you can speak for yourself.

 

[cobl04]

If U2 are still performing at 70, we might be lucky enough to hear A Sort of Homecoming.

 

[camiloj]

Imagine they only played songs that they aren't playing on tour?

THAT would kill me. In fact, I will die if they play 11'o Clock Tick Tock tonight.

Unless they play it again on the 3rd.

 

[daygloeyes2]

Line Nazis at a 500 capacity venue hahaha

I hate everyone.

You're taking the piss, yes?

 

[dan_smee]

You're taking the piss, yes?

Considering place in time too - new songs at the time, excellent versions of m ways, aiwiy, Tick Tock.

[PopmuzikMofo]

Are they allowing cell phones in the Roxy?

 

[tuolumne]

Looks like it. Sil just posted a picture. She's inside!

Well, you will be happy to know that I first saw U2 in 1985 on the Unforgettable Fire Tour and IMO the shows I saw the last two nights were (along with the post-9/11 shows on the Elevation Tour)the best shows I've seen U2 play since ZooTV. I think the staging of the show is brilliant and they sound great.

 

[PopmuzikMofo]

I hope she streams tonight!

Sil is this close

She's got the best seat in the house!

Our potential periscoper has a great view too. May he be strong of arm and possess endless battery power.

The atU2 people asked KROQ that question, and were told 'no.'
