Good write up here that lines up w how I felt listening to a goddamn mixlr broadcast... https://www.stereogum.com/2001094/u2-trade-stadium-splendor-for-punk-immediacy-at-the-apollo/franchises/sounding-board/

Woah this ending is FANTASTIC

Agreed. This show is a fun listen.

American Soul is a good live song.

Bono seemed pretty pleased w the crowd response to Get Out. Personally- I dig the tune and yelled my head off to every word pumping my fists like an idiot. To be fair I pregamed w a few 7% beers and some malort.

I pretty much agree with everything you guys are saying (Axver and U2387). Still, when they hit it they sound amazing. I really enjoyed myself at the CHI shows and I’m so glad I went. Maybe it’s just the right thing at the right time or something. Sure, there’s a something fair to be said...

Agreed! Such a fun show. I said to wife tonight that, on paper, thats a pretty lame set, but man oh man it’s a great show. I couldn’t give a fart about Elevashun or Vertigo, but that shot rox live. Best Thing was infinitely better tonight than last night. Blackout is balls. Acrobat is...

Thanks for the info, Ax!

Solid, thanks!

Have they played Gloria and I Will Follow at the same show yet this tour? If not when is the last time those songs were in a set together? Even better when is the last time they played those songs + the Ocean in a set?

Oh that tumble happened for sure. But Boner never missed a beat. He’s quite the showman, after all.

Just got home. Went solo on a whim. So glad I did as It’s a great show! All those annoying songs sound awesome live (Elevation Vertigo American Soul). I absolutely lost my mind during One, of all things! They’re an awesome band.

I’m gonna add to the love for Red Rocks up in here. I have the most history w that one - somewhere is a battered up VHS tape of the show I got around 1987 or 88 when I was 12 or 13. I also love both Elevation shows. Great performances, and I watched them a fair bit.

Big Verve fan right here. Saw them on the Northern Soul tour and Urban Hymns at Irving Plaza in NYC. Top shows. I could go on and on about their tunes. Storm is my fave album, followed closely by Northern Soul (wherein they replaced atmosphere with grit and grime), Urban Hymns a little farther...

Amazing

Not a huge fan of “Love is Bigger...” but I like it live (based on a mixlr listen x 2).

It’s full on and it’s sloppy and badass all at once. Exit and Acrobat would indeed pair well tho it might be a bit too much of the heart of darkness in one fell swoop.

Goddamnit UTEOTW is a badass tune...

I like Beautiful Day earlier in the set.

Joey Ramona?

Wow more music!

That was sloppy as hell and laser blast awesome.

U2 is playing Acrobat for the first time ever right fucking now. And it sounds fucking awesome.

This is a pretty cracking run of tunes to kick off the show.
