Disappointed to see no mention of Landlady, Summer of Love or Red Flag Day being rehearsed (or Drowning Man). Sorry gents but Showmen is the weakest track on the record.

Edge - Please, in the name of all things holy, play songs like Little Things primarily on guitar, not piano. The piano plods on Little Things live. It's very nice on piano but it's not a nice song - it's an intense song, like Bad, which would pair nicely with Little Things, not unlike a cabernet...

I had low expectations based on reports but this is falling below my low expectations. This set-up coerces long-time fans into paying scalpers for floor tix to enjoy the concert experience they've grown accustomed to.

Trying to get floor tix to DC and can't. Ridiculous. Been on floor every tour since Zoo TV. Innocence group. Are they gradually releasing floor tix? Can't imagine they're all sold out

Anyone remember the original version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah? It was an awful mix. Never before has there been a bigger gap between musical genius and production. Time has been kind to that song it may be to this one. I also prefer the Kygo mix (especially the Nile Rodgeresque guitar)...

thanks

Relevance is the residue of transcendence Read my full essay here ... U2’s Bono Calls for Humility in the Age of Trump - Opportunity Lives

Outstanding post. TUF was and is way ahead of its time. It still sounds fresh 30 years later and will probably sound as fresh 30 years from now.

What a great thread. I'm 40 (sing this with me) and became a huge U2 at the age of 11 after my big brother came back from camp w/ an Under a Blood Red Sky t-shirt. I listened to SBS off UBRS over and over again on casette. My friends teased me that I didn't like real rock bands like Huey...

Parking tips? Any tips for parking? I have to drive from DC. Is it too late to reserve a parking space? Anyone have any success. Thanks
