Got up at 4am US East Coast and got 2 tickets (seats in section F) for Dublin 3 - will be our first trip to Ireland -- can't wait!

Is it too late for someone to convince Bono to throw that damn thing in the trash?

Agree wholeheartedly. I listened to the low quality stream first and didn't really appreciate the middle songs. Planned to hold out for release date without downloading, but of course I caved and downloaded the better rip. Now having heard the album 4 times, I absolutely love Summer of Love...

Cool - looking forward to hearing it Friday!

I just had first listen via the stream this morning. I can wait to download when it's out Friday. Overall I really like it. However, it seems once again I have opposite reactions to many of the songs than the vocal majority on this board. I guess that shouldn't surprise me at this point - I've...

That's interesting re 90-10. Why bother? If they had enough for 90 percent, why not just bump it to 100. Seems crazy to me. I wonder if this is due to having to hold a certain amount of tickets for the Citi presale. If so, that's pretty shitty. I feel bad for the 10% - I was in the lucky...

Yeah, personally I think it's a GOOD idea. They are supposed to be linked - I'm not a Blake scholar or even necessarily a fan of his, but just looking at the titles of the poems in SOI and SOE it appears there is some referencing of SOI in SOE.

Oh! OK, I wasn't able to keep up with all of these threads so I missed that detail - thanks! And thank you for the link Womanfish!

I really hate Fanfire. I ordered the album yesterday when it came out. But I didn't want to download the singles on my work PC. So I waited until I got home. It let me download The Best Thing (which I already had) and Get Out of Your Own Way, but the Blackout just kept timing out, and...

Woof. We decided at the FedEx Joshua Tree show that it was our last GA - getting too old for all that standing and crowding. But $329 for good seats? Wonder if there will be RedZone - still standing, but much less crowded.

Is that right? I had no idea. Is that a new thing or has it always been that way?

Amen!

Those synth accents (or whatever they are) in the second verse not working for me - maybe it will grow though. But I think I liked the new bridge.

He said 10 of the hour in the leadup to this soccer talk.

Agree! Loving it! Can't wait to hear the studio version.
