1. Finally getting around to hearing the SoI+SoE Live today and I just wanna ask who thought including the botched version of Iris played during E+I was a good idea? Especially when the rest of the recordings of SoI are from the OG I+E tour... Do they feel this is the definitive version or something? cause I got a few words to have with whoever thought that if that's the case.
  2. "Botched version"

    2018 Iris was far better than 2015. Especially the ending.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Bono thought the 2018 version of Iris is the "most complete" version of the song. After all, he says his fucked-up lyrical changes to Bad, SBS and the like are actually "completing" the songs 3/4 decades later.
  4. I gotta disagree with you there, skipping most of a chorus and moving the bridge to the end is not "far better" in any of my books.
  5. Still not here - I am WAITING

    much better in the 2018 version! the move is a fix, there was a problem in the first version, all people who make music can confirm it! I am very happy because they corrected it!

    100% AGREE, Iris 2018 was the U2 autopilot version and actually an insult to the album version. This also applies to Cedarwood road. Both ruined the show.

    Agree with you there, at least we’ve got the paris I&E version but 2018 version was without a doubt weaker for me.

    CR was virtually the same as in 2015 though
  10. Loving the gift, I just wish they’d make their live shows available on nugs.net Bruce Springsteen and Metallica has their stuff on there. I could totally see U2 doing that.

    Agreed -- I don't like the newer version. It screws with the flow of the song.
