Celebrity pandering instead of a song rotation. Bono gonna Bono.

If anyone says to you prove to me that U2 doesn’t suck you show them Sunday Bloody Sunday from Rattle and Hum. Works every time.

Heartland would be a great opportunity to use the screen with visuals of America, Elvis etc

For a band touting tech innovations over the years and launching sphere, they are pretty damn boring with what they play

Are there a lot of casuals at these shows that didn’t know they had to sit through Achtung baby songs they never heard of?

Haven’t been but maybe on purpose to give people a breather?

Opportunity to play Daddy’s Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car with footage of fender benders from people looking at sphere on the highway

Bono’s voice ain’t messing with album full band bad and pride that’s for sure.

If they want to really make it an Achtung baby anniversary then they should release a new album during a residency extension - looking at you zooropa

If the band can handle extending the tour another 3 months with Larry and also record the new album might as well since LA is right there?

I hope they stick with Steve Lillywhite for the next album. I haven’t revisited the song itself however since the weekend.

Is it too early to think that they will do their farewell shows here as a residency?

It is good PR for them because it’s an amazing venue and they did a great job with it. I think it just pisses off a lot of U2 trolls that much more because of it. It’s definitely good for the band. Makes a lot of people jealous that it wasn’t their band.

I’m still seeing A LOT of anti-U2 on social media videos in the comment sections (especially tik tok). “Should have been someone else” “Bono’s voice is shot” “The sphere came automatically loaded with U2 like on my phone” “Imagine if xyz artist was here” “Why U2” etc

They have to figure out who’s worth a residency versus who happens to be on tour. For example, festival headlining bands who can still sell out MSG for a night, like Kings Of Leon, would probably love to play there for 3 or 4 nights and sell out the shows, but there’s no way they’d be able to...

Judging by internet trolls Tool, Coldplay, Metallica and of course The Foo Fighters should have been ahead of U2. I think it’s great, hate on hater trolls!

There are still the “why u2” “sphere looks great but should have chose xyz to open it” “still can’t get the album off my phone” haters out in full force. Just gotta love it!

I’m sure there are legalities in place as to what exactly goes on that screen. Imagine they did a war segment and had red rocks stage background on the screen

Yeah I’d assume they would get out of dodge and head back to LA. It’s only an hour fifteen flight to be more comfortable.

So same set list as night one?

The “how can we not” bit from Bono and Edge discussing opening the venue couldn’t have been more true. As much of a grump Larry is and the rumors of him wanting to retire years ago, it’s gotta really bother him that he’s not able to play these shows. It’s funny that a Vegas residency is the...

Didn’t he cry during streets?

*failing, New York Times

Someone had a pretty good point on a random Facebook article comment that he works at a PR firm and that the band simply couldn’t pass this up because it positively associates them with tech to get press out there away from apple and iTunes (yes it still hurts the U2 brand all these years later).

I wish I could make this tour. Gonna save extra for some close seats, whatever the extra vip experience is for the next one.
