Going to a U2 show that is recorded for release must be really annoying. That setlist today would frustrate me a great deal.
Not only that, but I guess they are likely to play the same set tomorrow.
Gloria really needs to end up on blu-ray after all these years. I think UABRS is still stuck on DVD. I hope they play it.
And like all pre-lobotomised U2, those songs mentioned are both quite odd in a lot of ways. Thinking they have to play by the 'songwriting rulebook' has been the death of these guys.
I'm a worrier, from way back. The worry-engine has been running for a long time. It's why my friends call me Whiskers.Can we maybe hold on all the hand-wringing and rock-kicking until the other shows have passed? If they do the same thing at the next show, start your worry-engines.
Electric Co. is on Under a Blood Red Sky and Vertigo: Chicago, I couldn't tell you if either of those is Blu-ray though because I don't know the difference between Blu-ray and DVDs.Was Electric Co. on a Blu-ray release already? Because that song is a much bigger monster on this tour and is even more worthy of posterity.
U2 may be one of the worst bands ever in terms of "anecdotes from the recording studio."The recent quote from Bono was, yeah, very much the whole 'Rick challenged us, and said McCartney has thousands of classic songs and what have you schlubs got, just a legendary and era defining career in the ninetes, what's that against a song you can strum round the campfire?'
And lo, the seed of Songs of Innocence was born, with a little extra help from Jimmy Iovine taking bono aside in his south of France pad and reminding him where he lives.
