1. Never mind getting them, they would be crazily expensive.
  2. Every seat would be a CAT 1 ticket. So £190 + fees I reckon.
  3. My dad is trying to tell October is better than Rattle and Hum. Does anyone here agree with that opinion because it doesn’t make sense to me.

    I know someone from work who says their favourite U2 album is October. He first saw them on the October tour so that might have something to do with it.

    It was the first album he heard by them so that was his reasoning, still I broke it down song by song and I couldn’t understand it
  8. With October being my least favourite u2 album I can’t really directly relate with someone who thinks it’s there best or even better than Rattle and Hum. However I do think there’s a lot of people out there who generally prefer u2’s earlier work and would probably put boy, October and war above the rest of there albums. They did change a bit after that, most of us would say for the better but the change obviously wasn’t for everyone. Even though the band will always pick up new fans along the way I think they inevitably lose fans along the way too at pretty much every stage, I bet there was plenty of people who even switched off when they released TJT just because the band got too big for them, it sounds daft but some people don’t want a band they like to become the biggest band in the world. The move they made with Achtung baby would have been a big game changer as well, I can quite easily understand how someone would rate October above Achtung Baby even though it’s completely against my way of thinking it’s just too much of a challenge for some people to see the band become what they did both in terms of sound and image probably amongst other things too.

    Counting only the studio tracks on R&H, song by song, I agree with you - but on the basis of the albums as a whole, it's pretty close. I can understand the appeal of October, recently it's really been resonating a lot with me - it's probably one of U2's more thoughtful albums.

    And I gained an appreciation of it after re listening to it. I just feel like RH is much better counting originals. And Dean another great post!

    At the time Achtung Baby came out, "Nevermind" had *just* hit six weeks previously : there is no way anyone could have known or predicted the music scene would be turned upside down near instantly, and somehow, U2 were at the same time risking their entire career on the hunch that people wanted weird, indie and Krautrock influenced anthems that were drenched in unusual sounds miles away from their Springsteen-esque sincerity. It was one enormous risk and they could very easily - if they had called it wrong - gone back to 5,000 seater venues and fallen off the face of the Earth in terms of radio play and popularity. AB would now be known as the record that killed U2, in way that "Trans" nearly derailed Neil Young forever. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans_(album) )
