I'm sure most of us are by now familiar with Willie Williams stating that the November 13 Berlin show will be filmed for DVD release with the goal of not repeating anything from 2015. Of course, there's been some discussion over whether he meant just SOI songs or the back catalog (primarily...

If you're like me, you've been trying to squeeze as much as possible out of a fast disappearing summer and have been immersed in the Blackout the last few days while doing it. JT's 3rd and final leg crept up on us and it's time to start speculating what we'll see in Detroit and beyond. Act 1-...

Well, I guess it's time to start the set list speculation! We know we're getting some JT shows this year, so let me start: The Joshua Tree 1) Streets 2) Still Haven't Found 3) With or without you 4) Bullet the blue sky 5)Running to standstill (Bono speech on JT, its background and how its...

Alright, so how do we think the warhorses are sounding this tour? That's always a topic for much debate that, beyond MW, hasn't really come up yet..... My thoughts: I Will Follow: Excellent- though it always is, isn't it? Elevation is a bit slower than the others, but that's the only tour...

I am sure we all remember these comments from Adam: Looks to me the comments made by the band in the run up to the release were pretty accurate this time. I think Bono and Edge had similar quotes. Really like what they did before SOI- they either shut up entirely or said very little but what...

Hello All, Hope everyone is doing well! I have to start by saying I'm sorry to be so terrible at summarizing things w/o writing novels. I would appreciate it if some of you could try and read this! I was reading through the confessionals for the 1st time in ages and was inspired to make this...

Anyone catch this on U2.com subscriber only content? 'Those songs from that first album era, and up to about 'War', a long time ago, they are the ones you remember easiest.' -Adam Clayton(Referring to the performance of Out of Control in Brazil). And I would add that they're not only easy...

I just worked my concert security gig in Boston tonight. Linkin Park was playing at the Garden. They opened their encore with this "Iridescence" song and then went right into "Shadow of the Day. I was well aware of Shadow's WOWY similarities, but I was expecting the singer to belt out a...

Is it just me or was the Dec 19 2010 version of WOWY one of the best in a very long time? I think that, if it wasn't for the minor variation in the middle of the "my hands are tied verse(the nothing to win and nothing left to lose)," it could be the best of the tour. I think it's easily the...

I am I the only one that notices that U2 consistently neglects JT album cuts every tour when compared to AB? In both number and variety of songs played, AB gets mined every tour while JT gets the Big 3(4 when you count live staple Bullet) and that's about it. Aside from the songs they have to...

Mods: Feel free to cut down this long wined mess down to something half coherent if need be! So its that time again! Is it just me or did Leg 3 fly?(my thoughts on Leg 3 follow below, I've included a line for those who would rather not read my long winded opinion of it!:lol:) What are...

Lets talk about the U2 set list staples. I think a lot of them are sounding much more vital on Leg 3 than on Legs 1 and 2. It is almost making me forget how pissed I still am that they can't drop Elevation or Walk On or both. I Will Follow: I know it wasn't played on the 1st 2 legs, but the 3...

I feel loved by this song, but also a bit confused, lol! How do we interpret this awesome and highly underrated gem from Pop? I always want to rack my brain and analyze it- metaphors, etc. On the other hand, Bono manages to be poetic yet extremely direct here and that suggests he wants us to...

Is it just me, or is the light show different and better(like, much better) for certain songs this leg? Magnificent and Mysterious Ways stand out for sure in this department! A lot of batman type off yellow lights which look really good with smoke seemed to be present throughout! Anyone else...

First off, I think it is awesome that we are only a couple of weeks out from rehearsals! August 6 seemed like forever to wait for set list parties and show analysis back at the end of May! Its been too quiet around here recently, probably owing a lot to the disappointment of the cancelled dates...

Hello to all! Never made a thread here in confessionals and rarely post here, so bear with me, please! Recently, it seems like I am getting a lot more attention from females my age, which I welcome. I don't know if its the fact that I am finally feeling a bit better after going through the...

Its almost that time again-360 will be up and running again in just a few weeks! This got me thinking, what do you all think have been the most random live moments from U2? They can be planned or improvised, doesn't particularly matter. Just something that shocked the hell out of you to see...

I think this would be a good idea. Maybe going forward, they could road test new songs in clubs before they are released. Really, pretty much the same idea as the Somerville theatre show in 2009 for NLOTH, except before the release and play more songs in the shows.This takes the pressure off of...

Mods, forgive me if this is in the wrong place. We are obviously news starved, so I am desperately looking for something to talk about. I don't know why, but I have recently wound up back in a Joshua Tree and Lovetown phase for the first time since Spring 2008. Listening to alot of bootlegs...

I always enjoy U2 shows, regardless of the set list. 360, as has been discussed in other threads, gets an enormous amount right in this area: Unforgettable Fire, MLK, Ultraviolet and 7 nightly staples from NLOTH! That being said, the one glaring oversight, and the biggest complaint I have heard...

I am just in from seeing these guys at Harper's Ferry, a live music club in the Allston section of Boston. This is my first U2 tribute band experience, so I don't have anyone to compare them to, but my thoughts follow: They were EXCELLENT. All 4 of them. They don't much go for the image, no...

YouTube - U2 - Unchained Melody OK, U2. Time to stop giving this song a snippet every now and then, and play it full just like they covered it! This is for me, their best cover ever, hands down! Maybe Helter Skelter and Beat On The Brat and some live versions of All Along The Watchtower can...

I know there are a ton of threads that cover basically the same topics, but this is on my mind as we begin 2010! I just updated my Facebook status to say: "Happy 2010 everyone!! Here, the band of the 80s, 90s AND 00s rings in 1990." I go on to link New Year's 1989 Streets video. This got me...

I was thinking this over in the context of the enormous PA stacks hanging up on the claw. Having seen Vertigo indoors and 360 outdoors, both were loud shows. My ears rang and in the case of Vertigo, hurt a little after the shows. However, I have heard alot about people having their hearing...
