Really enjoyed the rather long lyric quote from Bono for "The Morning After Innocence"

Nah, not much technical basis for this theory. He'd be struggling during all the other songs he sings to backing tracks, also.

exactly.

the song they played instead of The Troubles was Bad... which features a backing track, and is generally considered to be one of their hardest songs to sing.

i think they didn't like the way it went over with the crowd at the first show and have gotten nervous. we know full well that they are nervous nellies.

You sat at the end of the row I was in at the Meadowlands 360 show! I think you were sitting 3 seats down from MsYBOR

exactly...

Are you going to MSG?

 

[YBORCITY]

exactly...

Are you going to MSG?

Yes... 7/18, 7/31 so far but looking to go to a couple more... I tried to PM you but can't... we need to touch base before the 7/18 show.

 

[Hewson]

We do have a unifying thing within our audience, but outside of Madison Square Garden it can be tough being a U2 fan because we've been around a long time

I hope this means that they are so comfortable at MSG that we'll get all of the rarities. All of them.

I read that as more of U2 fans are amongst folks of a like mind when at the show, but have to defend the band in other situations, not anything actually specific to MSG.

This makes total sense. I didn't really understand what he had to say.

 

[ClaytonsKitten]

I'm quietly pleased that some of the interviewer's info seems to have come from Interference and U2gigs.

I giggled a fair bit at that.

Bono, no 30 minute acoustics, honey. Just no.

Edge, get those 60 ready to go. Take Ad' and Larry with you and just count Bono in like on the premiere of WLCTT.

i get the sense that bono thinks every arena in the US is called madison square garden

Well it's kinda hard to turn AT&T Center or Sleep Train Arena into a sexy quip about U2 fans

Terrible article!
In the first paragraph he states that he did not get to ask them about songs of experience, and about them finally playing acrobat and the drowning man live.
After i read that I lost interest in everything else in the article.
The guy knows what is the most important, but continues to talk about the stage

U2 will be making a surprise appearance on NBC's Red Nose Day special tonight #sources #confirmedrumor

Be interesting to see some pro-shot tour footage

[Headache in a Suitcase]

It aired half an hour ago

 

[ClaytonsKitten]

Yep, tour footage. Not surprising. Didn't think they would actually go to Vegas. Still awesome that they got involved.

Song For Someone from San Jose

Or Vancouver? I've seen people imply both. And, in either case, do we know which night? I'll add a comment to the U2gigs concert page once we've confirmed which show it was from.

Here's an obscure question for a hardcore fan. During the elevation tour, Edge was seen wearing t-shirts some nights with the number seven and others with the number four. I noticed during the Vancouver shows he was wearing a shirt with stars around the collar and the number four on one shoulder and the number seven on the other. What's the significance?

Moderator: U2Question from Rufus: Any significance of the number 7 on your t-shirts?

Edge: I never know the significance of the number of my t-shirt until someone tells me later

I don't recall Bono saying anything about Red Nose Day or America when introducing Song For Someone in Vancouver and I was at both shows so, probably San Jose, unless I just missed him saying all that.
