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

link dead. Anyone have a clip to actually broadcast version?

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

thanks - surprised more people didn't pick up on Bono's comments - very counter cultural. Very rock n' roll.

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

I was surprised Bono's recent comments on U2.com didn't get more play so I wrote an essay about his perspective. Bono Calls for Humility in the Age of Trump "In the age of Donald Trump, it seems many artists are determined to build a wall between the Left and Right and ask their patrons to pay...

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

Edge's comment in Rolling Stone that this is a big as they can get was oddly comforting. Maybe he's thinking they're TOO BIG and competing w/ the setting, however cool it is. I prefer arenas personally which is always a possibility ...

No, actually it is the stadium AND U2. Stadiums echo only when a sound is produced by an external force. Stadiums don't manifest echo by themselves. Look, we're all U2 lovers for the most part. There are ways to fix this (extra speaker banks near the upper decks, etc.) but the band won't...

Folks - read the reviews of the Dallas show on U2tours/U2gigs, etc. Sound was horrendous in upper decks. They really need to fix this before the next leg. So many people (long-time fans) are feeling ripped off U2 may not be able to fill stadiums again (which might not be a bad thing).

The sound was so bad in the upper deck at Fed-Ex I thought it deserved a thread to see if there's a remedy before the show hits other large, vertical stadiums. I was actually on the floor (like most on this board) and had a terrific time at a fabulous show but many of our friends were in the...

GA rules for FED-EX? Does anyone know the GA floor rules for FED-EX. I read some rules are different with each venue. When do the GA gates open? How early can you line up? How late can you line up and still get a decent view (i.e. close to catwalk if not actual stage)? Thanks ... I'm hoping...

thanks for running the poll ... let's hope the band sees this and gets the message.

go for it Axver A poll would be great fun, maybe in the main forum that gets more traffic where the song survivor polls go.

I'm not sure how to set up a poll like the song survivor polls but I think it would be great to have polls on the songs we don't want to hear anymore and those we do want to hear. Who knows, maybe the band will see it. Does anyone know how to do that? I'm envisioning four separate questions...

pre-sale (is code good for each leg or entire tour?) I have a pre-sale question I haven't seen answered on U2.com or the boards. Sorry if I missed it. Am I able to buy four tickets for, say the upcoming North American leg of the tour, or four pre-sale tickets for the ENTIRE tour. In other...

I've seen various reports that the DC info is this: 29 September 2009/FedEx Field, Washington, DC/Mon. 6 April (pre sale) Can anyone confirm? I don't see this anywhere official. Thanks
