    Don't confuse conversation with griping. This is not Zootopia we all have opinions and it's ok to share them with other die hard U2 fans here
  2. The US Leg is a useful wee warm-up for the main leg !

    Drop Elevation or MS and bring Ordinary Love (where's the U2.com thing) to life and ASOH, OOC ofcourse. At least do it in Europe.
  3. I am probably in those pics, just by sdbd...

  5. Originally posted by ahn1991:It's easy to judge these two shows based on the setlists and say "wow, LA didn't get anything special." However, I will say that attending the concerts was an entirely different experience altogether. The video screen adds a massive component that cannot be accurately depicted in a recording or even a video. From a performance standpoint, pretty much every song was on point with a few exceptions where I didn't understand the concept behind the performances.

    Personally, I was never expecting any new material to come out on this tour aside from the Joshua Tree material that we haven't seen for years and years. The fact we have ASOH and Little Things is a bonus in my eyes. I don't think we should be concerned about setlist variation and set length in the context of future tours. I think they deliberately chose this set length to make the Joshua Tree portion the primary focus of the show. I think questions of Bono's health or endurance should be shelved for the time being. If Bono is struggling to last through longer sets, he didn't show any signs of that this weekend.

    Finally, I initially wasn't sold on Little Things as a closer. I am now. Sunday's performance was absolutely fantastic. I hope this becomes a regular set closer, but I feel we will never see it on the first night of 2 night stays.


  6. Originally posted by treasure:Every U2 show I've ever been to has been awesome no matter what they play but I guess it wouldn't kill them to throw us die hard fans a bone. ASOH would do for me. The version of Bad on this tour isn't a patch on the version I got at my last 4 shows in 2015 so I'm not even bothered about that just give me ASOH & TJT & I'll be happy. Not so much to ask.


    Actually, the full album version of NYD is a bone for this die hard! Keep that, ASOH and Bad and this guy's all good!
  7. Is this show as good as Seattle?
  8. Man , Pasadena 2 is the worst show so far.
