October was one of my favorites to begin with, but the remastered album went beyond my expectations... it's the best remaster so far I think. It sounds amazing.
has anyone in canada received theirs yet?
Is it possible to hear "Out of Control" without wanting to tear it up?
from nick,
any official word on the contents of under a blood red sky yet, that is atracklist for the cd and dvd, plus is there a 2 cd version as well, any info is appreciated
my girlfriend bought me Boy and October and picked up the special box in Zavvi. She surprised me with them during my break at work and I was so surprised I had no idea what to say. She said she felt bad that I'd not bought them and used the money to go away with her family instead. I feel spoiled haha
But yeah, they do sound fantastic. October is astonishing and hearing stuff like Touch, Boy-Girl and stuff was incredible. I've never owned them on an original 7" or anything and the MP3s I had weren't amazing so I was really looking forward to hearing them and holy shit did the bonus discs deliver!
Only problem I heard was with the Boy album on An Cat Dubh. Just after Bono's first line one of the snare hits sounds so SO SO compressed and I don't have my original CD to hand to compare, was it like that originally?! BESIDES THAT they are amazing! The box is going to look so fucking great with War and Blood Red Sky in it too.
I'm just so 'stoked' as some might say that my girlfriend surprised me with them. THOUGHTS ON HOW TO REPAY HER?!? I'm sure any 'die-hard' fan round here (and that's 90% of you) will know that this is a big deal!

No. No info yet. But watch this space, as I'm sure it'll be posted here once there's more info.

from u2.com:
and
So, with these 5 additional songs, I guess this is the full concert eh??
And wasn't Red Rocks recorded the 6th of June (instead of the 5th?)
No, the Red Rocks show was June 5th. The DVD has the full concert, except for I Fall Down...
U2 are killing me financially this year.
i know
Yeah, but what a great year to be a U2 fan...
Now once the remasters are all out, then we need the Best of 1980 - 1990 on DVD...
