Screen is kinda not their thing and they could’ve sold tix behind the stage like usual.

All indications thus far have been stadium tour, which means maximum 2 consecutive nights and even then only for the largest markets. So likely plenty of opportunity for spaces in the schedule given crew travel and stage setup days.

Bon Jovi’s voice has been shot for well over a decade. Check out the 12-12-12 MSG benefit, he’s making vowel sounds without actually singing the full words.

Bono sounded fantastic when I saw him at the Beacon solo shows and the Sphere. I believe the solo show tour forced him into vocal rest between dates and then the Nevada desert did the same - and it made a notable difference. He went for more high notes on those tours than he had in recent...

Having the livestream apparatus in place certainly helps.

Last night looked incredible, they leveled up.

Not going to trash it. It had to work for their extended playing style and I thought some of the abstract stuff was good, 1-2 things quite smart and impressive on a phone screen so surely exponentially better in the room. The sound was likely phenomenal too. At the end of the day, an entirely...

I think it’s great how they were influenced by U2’s final Sphere treatment of Ultra Violet…

I’d be ok with this if it means more recording and touring.

He wants to be able to drum. I think he wants to be able to drum in his band. I don’t know if he wants to tour into his 70s. I believe Bram and the Sphere might’ve opened up some ideas for their future. I hope the original lineup is around making music together for a good while longer.

Wild Honey is the type of effortless pop song they mostly struggle to create now b/c they overthink everything. The lyrics sound like a first or second pass and are better for it b/c Bono would overload them with syllables and pointless wordplay now. The Showman is probably the closest they’ve...

All this love for ATYCLB and no mention of Kite?!

Bono is fat chance

Will Phish or Dead & Co see the first major injury?

That they haven’t played Please on recent tours is a real loss. I didn’t expect it for Sphere but it would’ve fit in perfectly on JT30 or E+I
