 Tour: Experience and Innocence tour
Songs played: 25
Audio recordings: 2
Videos: 1


  1. I would have loved to have heard "New York" at the Madison Square Garden show I went to a few months ago. COBL is nice but still...

    Glad the Spanish fans got "Spanish Eyes", though! Not my favorite song by any means but still fun to see the band pull out something new to end the main set.
  2. I thought Madrid 2 was superb. This tour is now growing on me having watched the last 5 shows via periscope

    And great crowd reaction too!

    They should play this song more often, and also in other countries.
    This has some real tood vibes in there. Love it when they are like that!!!! The Madrid gigs looked pretty good. Hope Milan tops it!!! Haha
  5. After 6 hours of editing my photoset of Madrid 2 is now available, 84 photos from the main stage.







  6. What
    A
    Night,

    What
    A
    Show.

    Last Friday many different factors played their role; the sound was better than the night before; my company was superb, with loads of long term friends as well as my mum and my girl; the audience was SO into it; Spanish Eyes got its best performance since the end of the (original) Joshua Tree Tour; my spot on GA was about perfect, close to everything; the band was absolutely on fire.

    I stopped following this tour long ago, disappointed with the poor (and shrinking!) setlists of the US leg. That made me go spoiler-free to Madrid and I didn't know they had swapped Staring At The Sun for Summer Of Love, and American Soul for New Year's Day (thankfully), but also I didn't know they weren't playbacking Love Is All We Have Left either, nor the progression of the show. Therefore everything hit me like a truck on night1. And night2, with my lesson learnt, was absolutely mindblowing.

    Everything added up and now Madrid2 ranks as my #1 show ever, just surpassing San Sebastian 2010 which proudly held that title against brilliant shows like Amsterdam4 2015 and Barcelona '09 on the premiere of the biggest tour ever. And now Madrid2, the show I was anticipating the LEAST in my life, has swept everything and left me speechless. I'm truly lost for words.

    Here's my video. You can feel the excitement when I recognise the chord Edge was fingering (Dm, I shout "re menor! re menor!! vamos!!" because I totally knew Spanish Eyes was coming). That was the icing of the cake on an already great night. And Love Is Bigger with the final chant going on and on and on (something that didn't happen the night before) was just too much.



  7. I'm in love with this band again. I could never stop being, actually.

  8. Some of the longer serving members here might remember photos on here at the time of my son Larry who was born in 2009 . Well he’s not a baby any more and I brought him from Dublin to his first gig in Madrid a few days ago
