    Milan DVD

    But I think they recorded the DVD WAY too early in the tour to rush it out for a Christmas release. They hadn't even gotten into the rhythm of how great the setlist grew to be by the third leg. It's representative of the first leg, but I don't think it's very representative of the whole tour...

    Miracle Drug dropped--BAD MOVE

    Fair enough, point taken. I can see that, too. I just think that seeing as much of a 'new' album live on the tour for that album kinda 'validates' the material, in a way. I think "Miracle Drug" is a great live song, and I'm surprised it got dropped because, like "One," it seemed to be a focal...

    Miracle Drug dropped--BAD MOVE

    The band seems very unsure of itself these days. Weird setlist decisions being only one example. Dropping "Miracle Drug" is a HUGE mistake. I mean, like it or not, this song has become the "centerpiece" new song that every other tour has featured - "Until the End" on Zoo, "Kite" on Elevation...

    The Highlight of the Vegas 1 show

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA - that would be the greatest ever.

    "I'm not going to turn into Bono."

    i wish they'd play it just because I like the song, political or not. It's too bad that they wrote a political song like that, and now won't play it because it's political..?!? Whatever. Still love them. They're just over-the-top crowd-pleasers.

    Let's say the band wanted to play Lemon...

    If you can't sing a song live in a live concert, then you shouldn't be playing the song. End of story. There's really no room for debate, as far as I can see.

    Coldplay In the Year 2007

    Someone's REALLY bored.

    U2 iPod out of production!

    From what I understand of the original deal (filtered through relation in the biz), it was a package thing with Apple and iPod - Vertigo ad, this ad, any subsequent promo regarding their contract. No $$$ goes U2's way in any of those cases. It was strictly promotional.

    Am I the only one who doesn't really like Staring at the Sun?

    I think the lyrics are hit/miss - I feel the same way as the initial poster - I can't put my finger on why the song gets boring for me, because all the elements are in place - good melody, good guitar, good structure, love the bass line. I don't know. I get tired of it easily. The Monster...

    Exactly what happened?

    I agree with you there - the lyrics to "New York" are totally in keeping with the beat poetry rhymes and word patterns that Bono got very "fan-boy" with on tracks like "Miami." "New York" is the distillation of that kind of writing, which isn't something Bono's done a lot of in the past, and it...

    the trick with Pop is......

    "Discotheque," "Staring At the Sun," and "Gone" turned into the Best-Of versions, and during the rest of it, Larry Mullen came out of my speakers and started shouting at me about how he didn't want to tour.

    MERGED--> chigago DVD details.... + DVD Cover + Frickin' Wicked

    And the 5/9 show was better than the 5/10 show - I originally had heard that they were going to do the 9th instead. What happened?

    (08-29-2005) U2 Fans Angry at Band's New Web Charge -- Sunday Independent*

    I want to believe that the band cares, too, and I've believed in them for fifteen years - but they do keep making it harder. And if they're so swamped that they can no longer keep a careful eye on their own organization, it's time to evaluate how the whole thing functions.

    The Plan to Leak Mercy to the Radio

    If by some unlikely chance a radio station decides to play it (they can be fined and/or shut down if a band with the financial pull of U2 decides to get pissed), I think we could count on an internet shitstorm - goodbye, fan sites. This is an ASININE idea. It's doubtful that the radio...

    Surviving HTDAAB songs on the next tour

    Edge said at one point that he liked "Miracle Drug" so much that they'd be playing it for a long time. But he also said something similar about "Walk On." So who the hell knows.

    White Stripes slight U2?

    The White Stripes are the most visceral live band I've ever seen, bar none. I've seen them about 10 times, and each time I was floored. Their energy is nuts, and their setlists - well, I saw two shows on back-to-back nights, each show was about 26 songs long, with only 6 or so songs repeated...

    May 12, United Center in Chicago

    Yeah, I hate to sound like a bitch, but great timing, guys - find the perfect setlist the day AFTER you film the DVD. This setlist was the damn DVD, right here. Talk about dropping the ball. I can't help but be a little irritated. They should have waited to film the DVD until they had the...

    Rolling Stones to Gather Moss Again

    I'll go one better - even WHEN they release a new album, they're still a nostalgia act. They usually only play 2, MAYBE 3 songs from a new record, on the last couple of tours. I love the Stones, for what they were, and I've seen them live, and they're great. But their time has long since...

    Chicago 2 Frog in Throat?

    Bono was in great voice at all the Chicago shows.

    Why No Crumbs???

    For as great as these shows have been, I think the band is really dropping the ball in terms of some songs that they haven't made a part of the set, and "Crumbs" is a perfect example.

    Chicago "Red Eye" Special - PLEASE???!?!

    Hey all - I have a huge favor to ask - There's a free paper in Chicago called "Red Eye," one of those weekly freebies in machines all over the place. Anyway, they did a special weekend edition for the U2 shows which I unfortunately couldn't find yesterday while in town. Is there any way...

    Chicago 1 was AMAZING!

    It was flippin' AWESOME. God, they were in dynamic form. I agree with the 'fire' comments, man. "Bad" was beyond belief.

    Mr BOLD Chris Martin

    I don't there's really a benchmark for comparison simply because the development rate of bands in the music industry now is forcibly faster. U2's was a building ascension that just became a bigger and bigger monster over many years. To deliberately say, "Okay, my goal is to topple this band...
