count me in as an individual who actually thinks this "code for new songs" rumor is going to turn out to be true.

The sound issues were pretty awful. Massive delay so that the drum solo intro sounded incomprehensible. It was fixed about 3/4 of the way through breathe. (to the point where the echo was at a managable level, and probably able to be edited out). Kingdom and major tom were bad too, but they can easily just add studio versions to the dvd.


If that's the case, then put Breathe as a bonus track....maybe from Vegas (then I can say I was there for that)

As if Breathe being gone wouldn't be bad enough, I will be super disappointed to not hear KingdomOYL open the show too.

 

[Sicy]

I have "Larry Has Voicebox Removed, Offers It As Prize In Selected Rose Bowl DVD" stored just in case.

No one would be able to prove me wrong.

Golden Ticket?

 

[lauramullen]

I have to go to the mall. Thank goodness for my Iphone.

Oh God I hope so.

I went to Boston 2, which was the only show they opened with Magnificent and it was a good opener, but they didn't play Breathe,which didn't bother me. The next day I came on here and read some of the setlist party for that show and there was a lot of bitching about them not playing Breathe.

I was at that show too.

Magnificent was a great opener and there were spectacular versions of Until The End of The World, Stay not to mention YBR!

Despite all this, I was still hoping the whole time that Breathe would turn up somewhere further down the set.

Still, one of the best shows of the tour I think!

20 minutes until zero-hour

It's impossible to put DRM on MP3s.

It's also incredibly difficult to play guitar when you're on fire, but The Edge does it every time they're in sessions for a new album.

On a serious note, it's a big mistake leaving "Breathe" off of this DVD. It's one thing if they left off, say, Magnificent. But the opener, the closer, and one or two middle tracks always end up defining the show. On this tour, the opener is Breathe. Everyone who went to that show associates it with the Breathe opener. To have a half-assed edited version of Boots be the opener is lame. Breathe, The Crazy remix, Ultraviolet, and MoS are the untouchables here. They really defined this tour.

Also, I hope this "new songs" rumor turns out to be false, because it really cheapens the new songs. If, for example, "Every Breaking Wave" is released as a download from a DVD, then it instantly becomes less significant than a B-Side in the U2 canon, and that's a pretty far fall. Also, to release new songs now in any form other than a new album will cause me to believe that they've either abandoned SoA or have delayed it until their next album cycle, which will most likely be at least 2 years away.

"Streets" wasnt played that show

Huh, I can't imagine where I got that bad info.

Also, Paris DVD got the first song ditched as well

The first song was "Streets"

I'd (obviously) missed your next post where you corrected the comment and said Streets wasn't played.

I am reluctantly holding off my trek into the rain for dining hall take-out. This better be true...you don't want to see me when I'm angry AND hungry

 

[mikal]

is anyone else pissed that the Amazon listing accidently left off Breathe? i sure am!

 

[dan_smee]

Disclaimer: I am speculating on the possible timing of the announcement based purely on the timing of the announement of the NLOTH track list in January 09

 

[Danny Boy]

you wouldnt like me when im angry...

 

[Swan269]

why is the annoucement at the top of the hour?

 

[trojanchick99]

And it's up at U2.com.

Breathe is in fact left off except on the double disk and Blu-Ray versions.

Rose Bowl on DVD.

U2360° At The Rose Bowl will be released on DVD and Blu-ray by Mercury Records on June 7, 2010.

rawk 'n' roll!! Didnt stay up for nothing then

 

[mikal]

this whole time, i've been thinking this "Exclusive Format" meant new songs, but the way that article is worded, i'm frightened that they're just referring to Blu-Ray.

 

[AiRMaRcI9o0]

- Deluxe DVD (content to be announced)

There is hope yet for new songs.

 

[corianderstem]

Breathe is in fact left off except on the double disk and Blu-Ray versions.

phhhhhbt

that's weird. And kind of lame.

But who am I kidding? I'll totally shell out for the fancy-schmancy version anyway, because that's how I roll.

 

[mikal]

- Deluxe DVD (content to be announced)

There is hope yet for new songs.

i suppose we'll just wait for an email from U2.com about the exclusive format then.
