what a cheeky b!tch! :angry:

the only reason the crowd were there last night was because B-man has worked so hard to get well and fit again

talk about getting above yourself... way to respond to the band's acknowledgement and generosity of probably inviting her there... guess you can't vet potential rescuers for basic tact and diplomacy skills

glad she got booed

*sends out cyber slap*

Sorry, just saw it was posted earlier. I can't see the embedded tweets. :(

Part of the issue is that the best U2 tours implement the new album in some way during either the encore or as the closing song and this tour is the first in decades (possibly ever) to do neither.

The "Innocence" part of the show is in the first half, so I'm not sure it would fit in the end.
 
wonder what Sleep Like A Baby Tonight would be like in that case... end on a slightly eerie note, loss of innocence, dark lullaby... obviously depending on the effect/vibe they want, but that guitar at the end of the song is just stunning... just listening now and i think it would be a perfect closer - leave the audience on a blissed out dreamy note!

The tour really suffers without a memorable ending. Part of the issue is that the best U2 tours implement the new album in some way during either the encore or as the closing song and this tour is the first in decades (possibly ever) to do neither. Towards the end it is, truly, a greatest hits set. And the way that Beautiful Day, Streets and One are threaded together is not imaginative enough to justify the influx of big hits. You don't even see overkill like that at festivals.

When you look back on ZooTV, you remember what closed it. You remember what closed Elevation. You remember the entire encore of 360 fondly because it was so well crafted. I+E's ending, for now, will be memorable not for its quality, but for giving us the two most controversial moments of the tour: the Mother and Child Reunion speechifying and One karaoke. It's so weird because the rest of the show is built around memorable stage design and band interaction, but the ending is a total dud and has been since night 1.

I agree here. I'm thoroughly enjoying these shows, but my biggest gripe is the whimper of an encore. It was awesome to see Paul Simon yesterday, but in general pairing his song with Streets doesn't make much sense. I don't need to hear Bono personally thank every major corporation that has contributed to his charity either. The whole sing a long thing is just not working to me. The video board would suffice there. The majority of the crowd keeps getting the lyrics wrong at every show I've been too. Its a nice enough moment, but I'd much rather hear Bono sing One than the crowd fumble with it- the Crowd sings along enough anyway.
 
Yes you guys made me point better than I did. Or maybe I nailed it. I don't know. I was saying, there's not one moment I'm connecting to these shows... I guess it's walking into the screen... maybe because it's 1st half for new (I part) and 2nd half for E part... but it is missing it. I think a lot of it has to do with album not building up like it did for me since Pop... all had the normal release, with name of tracks, maybe a leak, album comes out at this date, listen to entire then, hear a single, go on TV, play MTV... it just came out of nowhere. Which is cool, but didn't allow me to fall in love with it... but it did grow on me. But even if it did all that, it's not going hit me the same way it would in 1997, 2001, 2004... I was younger and it's just never the same as when you're 37 with kids. That's why you want to hear the old songs. To feel young again.

Did Bono bring up 2 men because he heard the feedback on here about only woman? Just kidding -- he doesn't care about any of us. Ha ha ha ha. Bono is gay.
 
I hope the firefighters banged the crazy out of that woman. Now I couldn't see her quite well, but in my mind she was played by Katherine Heigl in the movie version and the scene was her correcting the pronunciation of her name at an awards show.

Before this tour, literally the only U2 tour to not have a new song as a routine part of the encore was the UF Tour, which relied primarily on Party Girl/Gloria/40 (with Knockin' On Heaven's Door replacing Party Girl by the end). Occasionally a new song showed up, such as ASOH at a few early shows on that tour, but it was very infrequent. The only other tour even to come close is the October Tour, which is a huge "who gives a fuck when the song was released?" anyway and had Fire in the encore often enough. This tour so far is the only U2 tour, ever, to not have a single new song anywhere in the encore at any show. I assume that will change. I hope it does. It's weird.
 
Yeah I agree that the encore needs something more. I feel like California would be a good encore opener. Start with just the church bells, then Edge's guitar and the lights all go back on when the rest of the band kick in.

Given the theme of the tour, I like the idea of 40 ending these particular shows, but with lots of new material nearby. Maybe something like:

California
Reach Around
The Troubles
Bad
Streets
40

Some of the album's best material placed in a logical sequence (Reach Around>Troubles will always be iffy, but they are neighbors on the album, so it may work well by association), transitioning seamlessly into three live U2 classics.

I'd dig an encore that looks like this:

Streets
COBL
The Troubles
40

Did she really say if it wasn't for me you wouldn't be here? Or something along those lines?
