Leek, Staffordshire Superthread

[bono_212]

I love how Adam's just fucking about on the guitar.
"Hey, what happens if I poke this one..." *squeeee* "Neat."

I LOVE that so much.

 

[Axver]

FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED
THHEEEEEEEEEEEEE
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOORLD

LET
THEM
KNOW
IT'S
CHRlSTMASTIME HAS COME.

Let them know it's springtime has come.

Oh, that tuf bono and his phrasings!

 

[Axver]

When was he singing?

Have you ever heard anything by them? I know one song, and yeah, he kinda does.

Did you not notice they were brought on stage and the vocalist sings along with 40? I mean, there's this bit:

tuf bono: the red rockers!
Red Rocker: And U2!

(And I've never heard anything by them, but I'm skeptical of any band called Red Rockers whose debut album is Condition Red.)

 

[bono_212]

Ugh. What performance of TUF is it where Bono says "this feels like home". I assume it's a Dublin performance, but I seem to not have it anymore .

I knew that Red Rockers sang with them. I just always thought that was Bono saying and U2 for some reason. Found him pretty full of himself

Red Rockers are pretty New Wave.

"Guys...I was just thinking....what if we're still singing "40" when we're 40? Wouldn't that be maaaaaaaaaaad."

nearly there! I'm sure I must have thought that too many years back.

 

[bono_212]

Mmmm "Sing with Me" The Unforgettable Fire. To remind me of how much I can't sing.

 

[Axver]

As Harry's Game plays:

Crowd guy 1: That was excellent.
Crowd guy 2: Yeah no shit!

Love it. They're respecting tuf bono.

 

[Axver]

Hey Adrian!

Everybody give this man credit for the idea of Leek, Staffordshire. Fine suggestion, if I may say so myself.

F'reals?

Adrian, FINE respect, my man.

Hi all

Yesterday was kind of a wierd day all round. I'd been working away all week and travelled back yesterday. With iPhone 3G in hand, and the occassional glance at the leak thread, I saw signs for this place - 2 miles. I chose not to visit, out of anger.

BTW...Melbourne II is my second favourite show after Barcelona.

 

[Axver]

F'reals?

Adrian, FINE respect, my man.

Yeah, he PMed me earlier to alert me to the existence of the Leek.

 

[Alisaura]

Damn, my copy cuts that off.

Mine too.

 

[The Sad Punk]

I just noticed this:

234. ocean rain ian mcculloch does not respect Goat Island, New South Wales

Superwin, anyone?

Greetings Adrian! Credit and respect to you, sir.

Haven't heard a Barcelona show, but Melb II was damn fine.

 

[Alisaura]

Now I have Feed the World stuck in my head.

 

[bono_212]

Bonnie that was amazing, Sunday Bloody Sunday, except of course that Bono appears to be wearing hi-heels.


I can't help it, this is probably my favorite performance of SBS. Ok, well...one of them (I'm a sucker for the R&H version)

YouTube - U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday (The Edge) - Live Popmart Santiago

 

[Alisaura]

Can't say no to Edgevocals.

 

[adrball]

Greetings Adrian! Credit and respect to you, sir.

Barcelona was beyond belief. You should download it if only to listen to the mad crowd. Much much louder than you restrained Australians (okay, II was louder than I)

I seem to remember that Axver was a particular fan of the Vertigo x2 European leg.

Haha, you actually drove past it? That makes it even better.

I think Melbourne II's the best of the Aussie shows and Fine Vertigo Tour Listening; out of shows I attended, though, I'd rank both Auckland ones and two of the Boston ones ahead of it. And I'd say 20 September 2005, Chicago was better too. I direct much jealousy towards Ashley, who was actually there.

Oh yeah, I totally respected that Vertigo x2.

(Though it was cool that they took The Electric Co. to stadium audiences and brought Miss Sarajevo out during that leg.)

I was hoping that the fringe jacket, Rad Mane and what is arguably the essence of a bloatee would make up for it. Also, those HUNUGHs he does near the end.

[bono_212]

I can't remember if I have The Joshua Tree Special Edition here or not, but I've a yearning to watch that funny little documentary that comes with it.

 

[bono_212]

[Axver]

Wait, what?
