Listening now.

 

[georgemccauley]

Will the whole show be available to listen to after the broadcast for those who may have missed out?

 

[RoKKeR]

Stand Up Comedy was just on, lol.

But hey, it's not as bad as I remembered musically.

 

[clerks]

So far it's just U2 songs... from CDs... that we all own already.... maybe at some point they'll play new or live stuff?

 

[Nick66]

DONT THEY EVER LEARN??!!!

I'm afraid look look at my Fitbit now. F*ck you U2.

Oh God did it happen again?

 

[Sickly Vulpine]

Listening now for the last thirty minutes. In God's Country performance from JT30. Pretty cool way to lead up to the album's release.

 

[clerks]

Finally something fun!

No idea. I was kinda wondering about that myself.

 

[Sickly Vulpine]

The small interview clips between songs raise the listening value imo.

and the live stuff

and the live stuff

True. They're now doing the "live" version of Blackout from Amsterdam.

I honestly think the name U2 and Bono/Edge kept the band so popular for so long.

If they had a shitty name or picked up U2 and the lead singer was Paul and lead guitar was Davey, I think they would have been done in 1992.

 

[georgemccauley]

Shane about no love for the London shows. They missed a trick there and should have made Bad from London 1 available for us. Special performance with the Heroes snippet

 

[Sickly Vulpine]

The story about getting stuck in the giant lemon is priceless!

I dunno about the names Bono and The Edge. I think they helped in some small ways, but were not necessarily essential. However, the name U2 played NO small part in the band's longevity. I have never doubted that.

Tell that to Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner

 

[Sickly Vulpine]

Tell that to Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner

It definitely helped him as a solo artist, but I think The Police would have been very successful whether Sting kept his birth name or not. I take your point though.

 

[clerks]

I don't know who Sting is, but thank you for agreeing with me!

 

[Sickly Vulpine]

Seems they are fond of playing JT30 for the live stuff. Could use a little more variety, but I'm not really complaining.

 

[clerks]

little things that give you away -- maybe from album? wait his voice cracked, so probably not. I don't see them listening name of songs... maybe because I'm not officially a member of whatever service this is.

 

[Sickly Vulpine]

I think the announcer said that The Little Things performance was from Seattle.

 

[hasin73]

That's Little Things is from U2.com subscription gift.

 

[Sickly Vulpine]

Okay, they're starting to replay some of the album tracks and live performances. We're just over four hours in....hmmmmmm

 

[Caterpillar Joe]

they just played the album version of little things! (first time i think?)

 

[zoocarolina]

This is great, just heard Little Things soundboard from Seattle and it sounded fantastic. Great idea to promote this way until the album release.

 

[U2AlwaysForever]

CAn they do this every day???? Loved it.

 

[bort269]

I had trouble going to sleep last night because this was so interesting!

Learn a lot, can't believe I never knew what Wire was about!
I also thought Tomorrow was more about Iris than the Troubles...
(how can I still call myself a U2 fan?! ;-)
