  1. This 'narrative' bullshit is so tedious. The show is so underwhelming, I realltly struggle to relate to the thinking behind it.
  2. I loved Lights of Home. But I concede that the narrative bit is a déjà vu. It worked really well in 2015. Works a bit less today.
  3. Definitely a tour that doesn’t require attending more than twice. Doesn’t look like we are going to get any set list surprises. I myself have been to MSG 1 in Jun, going to Paris tonight and Manchester next month. Previous recent tour attendance -360 was 9 shows, I&E 6 shows, JT 2 shows, this time 3. I’m learning my lesson. However I shall enjoy it as it’s a very good show, not great as in the past.
  4. Went to Paris 1 last night, wasn't sure what to make of it really. Admittedly we were fairly high up in the seats but it did feel a bit subdued overall

    Playing a show where almost 50% of the set list is new material is pretty brave, I'm not sure it entirely worked. Loved hearing Acrobat, predictably 90% of the audience didn't know it. U2 have done down beat encores before, think LIB and WUDM, but I can see the purpose of ending with 13, but it didn't work for me last night. Am going again tonight but doing GA this time, it should be said the first IE show left me a bit underwhelmed, so tonight will be interesting to see how it goes




  5. Thought the show was OK. Crowd was good as well although GA was way too packed. Even Better and Acrobat carry the show. Bring on tomorrow!
  6. So was not possible to move around in GA from stage to stage?
    Also Frenchies seem to like getting there way too early.

    Wasn’t TUF rehearsed also yesterday?
  8. They always let too many in GA at Bercy , that's why I gave it a miss
  9. No, you couldn’t move in GA. Packed from start to back.
