I sat uppers behind stage at Paul McCartney a few years back. We had a great time, and really enjoyed the show. They are indeed the worst seats in the house, but you're in the house and that ain't too bad!

Similar to my thoughts on your overly negative reviews. Luckily there are many grateful fans posting positive reviews. Can't please everyone, but not sure why you find it necessary to carve up a band that's still rocking it into their 60s. Just relax, be a fan (maybe you aren't) and enjoy...

Yes they do have magic, which is why I'm a huge fan of u2, and was actually defending them if you'd bother to read the entire conversation. Ahem, no u2 are not "heads and shoulders above" the likes of zeppelin and Floyd... You're of course entitled to your opinion, but you now have no...

The way you're criticizing some of the generally regarded best bands of all time, U2 doesn't have a chance! I also think your assessments are way off. Floyd not engaging audiences? Ha! Jimmy page solos self indulgent? Perhaps, but epic nevertheless. Its quite silly to compare Bono to...

Damn, reading these negative reviews... Then I watch the two videos posted and im soooo jealous they aren't coming to Vancouver. I like the groove thing I hear. U2 were never zeppelin, the Beatles, Floyd etc... I'm a huge fan, but imo they were never "elite" musically. However, you get a damn...

One more point... $325 plus fees IS a shit ton of money. Maybe stub hub for something upper deck not behind stage? Especially as a single, I'm confident you could score a pretty good view at middle ground price. $150 ish. No?

Go big You are traveling to another city to see (presumably) your favorite band. You can afford a good seat. GET A GOOD SEAT!!! No shame in being behind the stage, the main thing is to be in the building. But, I'm of the belief that after all the time, effort, and money you spend to be there...

Just watched the discoteque video. Couldn't get through it. The riff is pretty good, but the video reminds me that this was the beginning of the end. It did not age well imo. They look like they are trying way too hard to fit into an uncomfortable time for the band. Way too many crotch shots...

Let's just see what happens live :hyper: :wink:

Yes, they should have played American Soul, and let Kendrick Lamar do the intro. The barge thing was cool, but better to perform in the venue. When U2 get standing ovations from A listers, it's a great thing. Reading through this thread, a couple other comments: Summer of love is a nice...

My thoughts exactly

That's totally fine. Although a little dictatorial. Funny how you allowed yourself the last word prior to ending the conversation. As a married man, I can live with that ;)

The end of this thread? Or the end of your statement? In which case, "the end" is implied, and therefore not necessary to state. :) ???

That's great! Nice when your little ones have good taste in music. My father would play his Billy Joel records when I was around that age. Billy came to town and dad needed a date. He offered me to come. I was perplexed... "Is Billy Joel real?" I asked. 5 years old, and one of the best days...

Those that haven't had kids just can't understand the meaning of it like parents do. That said, with the attitude of some, it's probably best that they don't. It's the most rewarding thing a person can do, by far, but also a huge challenge and sacrifice. I have a 1 year old boy.. So...

Great review! I have a different take on a few things, but that's not unusual. I've got little things that give you away much further down, just because I find it a little boring.. Like another version of who's gonna ride your wild horses. Maybe it comes back a bit for me later. I'm sure...

A pipe dream indeed! Yet you still must include elevation?! Lol

Haha! I put it there because I just listened to the innocence album for the first time in a couple years (not my favorite), and this tune jumped out as "old school U2" and imo a pretty solid track. Seems like opening with something from innocence is appropriate, and they didn't play this one...

Here we go: Volcano Vertigo You're the best thing about me Red flag day New Year's day I will follow Sunday bloody Sunday Lights of home Get out of your own way American soul Landlady Beautiful day Pride Love is all we have left (segue into) Streets The Fly Acrobat ---------------- Encore...

Seriously? I think you need listen again. Lots of incredible guitar work. Not sure what album you're listening to.

It has a huge chorus, is uplifting, and ya I can see how it might creep up as a favorite... The ingredients are there, albeit subtle.

Funny how you have American soul at the bottom, and I at the top. At least we agree it's a great album! AS is the only true rock song on the album. Crank it up, give it another chance! For what it's worth, many critics concede that it's the one highlight. I wasn't crazy for it at first, but...

Great: 1)American Soul 2)Lights of home 3)Get out of your own way 4)Landlady Very Good: 5)You're the best thing about me 6)The showman 7)Love is all we have left 8)The little things that give you away Pretty good: 9)Red flag day 10)Love is bigger than anything in its way 11)Summer of love...

Just realized.. They MUST play American Soul live.. It will kick ass more than anything since Vertigo. Hard album to rank... So many great tunes, and almost different genres. Shows what an incredible band U2. I wrote them off as done, lol. WRONG! ??????

Very guitar driven album. His sound is massive.. Vertigo, city, sometimes... thinking about it a bit, all their albums are edge driven though. I think he just found some extra tone on tap for bomb though.. As a guitarist, it's my personal opinion. Don't get me wrong, the edge is consistently...
