  1. We have a new You Too poll, you can vote for this new poll on the frontpage and discuss it in this thread.

    The question of this new You Too is:

    You Too: Which section is the highlight of the Sphere shows?
    - Achtung Baby part 1
    - Achtung Baby part 2
    - Songs of Surrender
    - Big hits/encore
  2. I've not been to a show, but from what I have seen and heard Achtung Baby 1 hands down. The classic Zoo TV opening, the Zoo TV opening songs. The visuals for the first 3 songs. The return of The Fly character.

    I still get goosebumps when I think about the opening. The sirens of Lemon. I got so excited. And after the Lemon remix was over the nice ambient Brian Eno song that slowly transitions into Zoo Station, it sounded kinda creepy. When you hear the Zoo Station ambient sound you really get the feeling like: Here we fucking go, are you ready?! So amazing. U2 never fails to open a show, but this one is so amazing. I'm very sad I will probably never experience this show.

    I’ve always wondered what that whirring ambient sound is before the start of Zoo Station is. It gets you so pumped when you hear it then as bono walks on stage. Is it Dallas under the stage activating the sound or is it the edge on his pedals?

    I think its pre recorded playing from the PA. It sounds like a guitar loop. But yeah that sound really gets you pumped.
