I think I am the only one that kinda likes this version of Best Thing they've been doing...

Sounds like a slightly different key too than last year, maybe?

I like it well enough but I'd prefer the full on version I got during JT30 in New Orleans.

i was listening to one of the LA shows and he did it there too. talked about the kids flying 11 hours from ireland and he'd see them in an hour.
looking at it through periscope, the b-stage is dark but you can see him talking on the screen. they used that time to pull larry's kit off the stage so they start up best thing with him just playing the bongo's.

SATS seems to go down better with the crowd around me than, dare I say, Acrobat?

This was my observation at both LA 1 and LA 2. I was shocked by the response the song got.

I'm with you. Love it so much. Although, it would be pretty sweet to hear Gone and Please again.

Not to mention, the segue from SATS to Pride with the visuals is excellent.

I hate that it even has to be an either or kind of thing. Can't we just have a few songs from Pop? Especially Please, it fits thematically, so so well.

Fuck.....thought they were actually doing something different

Earlier...
Bono talking to the mirror, as if it's Ali:
"Thank you for being home. I missed Eli's graduation today Thank you for being there and traveling such a distance to see it."
Ali was in attendance for both Los Angeles shows, so she must have flown home on Thursday or Friday.

I just wish they continued what they did for most of last year’s tour and just play full band versions.

IDK what just happened, but something about that was way off. Doesn't Bono usually do the This is Not Americas before the song actually starts? And then the video is supposed to change to MLK when the song really kicks in, but it was way off, and then they seemed to be trying to loop the intro or something.
Just weird. Or maybe my memory is wrong.

I think SATS was a slightly bigger radio hit than people are remembering (at least in the US). I remember hearing it often summer of '97 (of course this was in Utah)
That at least made sense, doing the dedications to his wife and kids in LA and Las Vegas, though it was pretty damn sappy and I'd be embarrassed as hell if that was my dad.
Tonight's one with none of his family there... clearly Bono's feeling stuff strongly now. But keep your wacky sappy public displays of affection to yourself mate.

Reminds me of a conversation I had with my girlfriend after seeing the STL show.
She asked, "Are any of them married?" And I said, "Yeah, all of them." She thought that was cool. I think she was genuinely surprised at how normal and down to earth they actually are considering they're one of the biggest bands in the world and all.

They flubbed the intro too. Edge started early.

Eli's graduation was today, so he missed it...

Ahhhh give the guy a break
. It's a theatrical performance, and it really does fit in the moment. I also got a kick out of the acknowledgement that with Eve entering the entertainment industry he didn't know how worried he should be about it.

i need a picture big enough to turn into a poster for my office
either of the band in the cage during blackout
or on the b-stage and on the screen (elevation -> acrobat)
or during pride - band on the screen and spread out on the floor
u2start had a great archive of photos going back through the years. not sure what happened they don't load up anymore.

Compared to how they're charting these days it was a monster hit.
