This is almost perfectly how I see it after a similar number of listens. I also have Book of Your Heart in the top category. I’m puzzled by its omission from the album proper.

Early 1984 - UABRS Mid 1984 - Boy/October/War From TUF onwards - day of release I got UABRS video (Betamax!) for Christmas 1984 and collected all their past vinyl releases (singles, albums & 12”) during 84/85

Reckon U2.com forgot about these? "Physical delivery in September". Hmmm

So is there ANY hope of 1) Having a multi-track single release next week with TBT and b-sides such as outtakes/alternate cuts/live tracks from TJT30 2) Getting an EP with remixes of TBT including Kygo's version 3) SOE pre-order on iTunes with TBT and The Blackout as immediate downloads Ok, I...

Nah. Checked neighbours. UPS just rang back - they are adamant it was dropped at front door

My deluxe editions including vinyl set were "delivered" 2 hours ago according to UPS. They claim they left them at the front door. But I'm sitting 3 feet from the open front door and no ones been. Now what? [emoji22]

I love EPAA. The "backing track" is still U2! And compared to the over-production in recent releases, it showcases a nice raw side to the band. Promenade is awesome. It may be short but so is Desire and that's no interlude. MLK is a far better closer than Grace or Yahweh or Is That All or...

They've clear been rehearsing new material this week so I wouldn't be surprised. But timing is off. They should let TJT30 run its course first. Then use that momentum for new material in August/September

What's on your "obscure" U2 songs playlist? J.Swallow Treasure (WHTPTC) Elvis Presley & America Boomerang II Luminous Times Walk to the Water Deep in the Heart Sweet Fire of Love (with Robbie Robertson) Hawkmoon 269 Mofo (Romin Mix) Mercy (Original) The Troubles

The 2 copies I "secured" didn't arrive. One store got 0/4 copies they ordered, the other got 1/2 and I was the second. Red Eye got 5 copies but sold out very quickly. 4 other stores I approached either didn't get stock or didn't order it. I managed to finally get one in Richmond for $59.

Yeah I'm pissed they're gouging like that. I thought $40 would be fair

I've sourced 2 copies in Oz - $55 and $70!

It's now available in the Australian iTunes Store

Perhaps he's done what Eminem did with Dido on "Stan"; taken a lessor known previously released mainstream track and incorporated it into a new song - but more than merely a sample? For some reason I just can't see this being brand new U2 material. It would be pretty cool to have something...

Looks interesting

Xanax & Wine vs. Predator If God Will Send His Angels vs. Predator Miami vs. Predator

I can't see SOE delivering a hit song. So if there's ever a follow-up album, they'll need a major change of mindset. Pretty much every other band/artist their age is content with releasing songs for their dedicated fans (who don't give a shit about hits). But not U2. If they don't change...

Desire (Trump Version) will be a must. And it I kinda hope (expect) it'll open the concert. Vertigo, Beautiful Day, Elevation, Miracle, Pride, One, SBS, EBTTRT will all be present after TJT.

I'm really struggling to understand how U2 cops flak for performing TJT but other bands are applauded for it. When The Cure did the Trilogy tour 13 years ago is was considered groundbreaking. Since then bands from all genres have played album shows: Pearl Jam, Metallica, Springsteen, Zombies...

Interesting that Edge says they'll play the album in full, in order but NOT start the concert with WTSHNN

I wouldn't be surprised if RHMT is a simple acoustic Bono & Edge performance in a lower key, sounding similar to their version of Mother & Son Reunion.

I was in Red Zone when Jay Z supported U2 in Sydney. Some fans next to me paid $300 to see Jay Z then left before U2 came on! Crazy. The only support band I've enjoyed was BB King for Lovetown Tour. It made sense and was fun. Other like Fatima Mansions, PJ Harvey, Weddings Parties Anything...

I've been at one of those Springsteen concerts where he threw in the entire Born to Run album, while touring a different album. But he normally plays 30+ songs so can still play 20+ other tracks including new songs. I guess U2 have 3 obvious options (maybe more): 1) Delay SOE and do a...

Technically it's an original song. It's based on this Yeats poem which was also turned into a folk song called Salley Gardens. But there's plenty of original lyrics (and music) in the song. Down By the Salley Gardens By William Butler Yeats Down by the salley gardens my love and I did meet...
