Cool! I don't think I've ever managed to catch Two Hearts...would have to confirm with u2gigs.com. Hope they keep up the unpredictability.Whoever went last night got Two Hearts and Seconds, lucky bastards. Surprised Don’t Dream It’s Over stuck around for a 3rd show.
I intended to not view the visuals cos I wanted to concentrate on the band but you can't help being in awe of them!!!i might be the only person who doesn't mind the new UV visuals.
then again the only ones i've seen in person were the lame ones from opening weekend so anything is better than that.
So disappointed that he doesn't sing the oh c'mon on ultraviolet!!!Oof what a snooze
lolKeep the man away from acoustic guitars and pianos.
I’m maybe ok with him as a live replacement if it comes to that. If Larry isn’t in the studio creating and playing his parts of new songs, that’s a different feeling to me.i am all on board for keeping Bram around if Larry isn't willing or able.
And Edge absolutely slayed the solo. Just awesome. And the solo on Love is Blindness as well. This is the version of Edge that I fell in love with. Keep the man away from acoustic guitars and pianos.
And Bram...great choice to replace Larry. He brought a real kick to certain songs. If Larry can't/won't tour in the future, the band should go on with Larry doing studio work and Bram on the road.
Hopefully there isn’t more to it than mere affinity.The cover of Don’t Dream It’s Over has been played at all 6 shows so far. They really like this song.
Hey nowHopefully there isn’t more to it than mere affinity.
I might be the only one who doesn't care if they just put up video of the band the whole time. Visuals can suck my fat dick! Please...i might be the only person who doesn't mind the new UV visuals.
then again the only ones i've seen in person were the lame ones from opening weekend so anything is better than that.
So finally caught up on the thread. Avoided seeing set lists until finally seeing the show Saturday. Wasn't much in the way of surprises in the set, Don't Dream Its Over cover would be the only song that was any kind of unexpected.
That said, the setlist was great, even though given the choice I'd obviously take Two Hearts/Seconds vs. Desire/WLCTT.
The opening run that emulated the original ZooTV was fanfuckingtastic. Transported me back 3 decades. And as I mentioned in the Sphere thread, Bono in the Fly shades at the onset appeared transported back 3 decades as well. Zoo Station/The Fly/EBTTRT to kick off the show is the an incredible opening 3 song run. As good as you'll see at any concert by any artist.. The visuals on EBTTRT were wild, standing next to the stage feeling like you were rising. UTTEOTW ripped as usual, song should never not be in a U2 set. The turntable set was fine, knew they'd slow things down for a bit. It was better than some of their acoustic endeavors on past tours. As others have mentioned, 2 or 3 songs would be preferable, then add in something full band.
When Bono said it was time to "wake the baby up" and Acrobat started I was in music fan heaven. After finally seeing it on e/i, seeing it in this show with the rest of the album took it to a whole other level. And Edge absolutely slayed the solo. Just awesome. And the solo on Love is Blindness as well. This is the version of Edge that I fell in love with. Keep the man away from acoustic guitars and pianos.
The encore set was very good albeit a slight let down after the AB run. But really enjoyed Atomic City live and the visuals of deconstructing Vegas. Streets was its usual powerhouse and looked to finally get a lot of the folks in the seats (who were probably afraid to topple over) on their feet. The encore is definitely geared towards the casual U2 fan and the crowd loved it.
Definitely one of the best concerts I've ever attended. I saw 4 shows on the original ZooTV tour (2 indoor, 2 outdoor) and that to me was the band at its absolute peak and possibly the greatest rock tour ever. But frankly this was pretty much just as powerful.
And Bram...great choice to replace Larry. He brought a real kick to certain songs. If Larry can't/won't tour in the future, the band should go on with Larry doing studio work and Bram on the road.
Got a copy of the printed setlist from one of the security guys on Adam's side, the crew handed out quite a few to folks over there.
Peace on Earth performed for the first time in more than 20 years last night. Edge even sang a line.
Ok. They were pushing it with the Sphere dates as is...if Larry is no more they should quit.i am all on board for keeping Bram around if Larry isn't willing or able.
Yes.Wish he’d tell the crowd to shut up more often.
Yes.
I don't particularly like that song (weakest on AttyCab), but that was a good performance of it.
Can someone more knowledgable than I explain his comment about "unelected militias executing people"? Don't want to get political, just want to know more about what he's talking about.
Counterpoint - they shouldn't.Ok. They were pushing it with the Sphere dates as is...if Larry is no more they should quit.
