1. Oooh. This sounds nice! Same setlist as Metro Chicago (all DM Tunes!!) I think. Do you have the entire show?
  2. Reception of my Knebworth BluRay yesterday : Very Nice Idea to put the 2 shows in addition of the documentary.
    Bad idea to mix the 2 shows for the audio CDs.


  3. Easy. Liam should stop touring Oasis greatest hits , and gallagher bros should reunite Oasis for new music.
  4. Question: does U2 have a Knebworth kind of moment in their history? Biggest band, most popular, massive outdoor gigs? For Oasis this was the summer of '96 with first the 2 gigs at Maine Road, and then Knebworth and MTV Unplugged. I know U2 is much more consistent in their career, and they broke the US, Oasis didn't.

    The two shows at Slane in 2001 were fairly momentous but then again I2 have pulled some crazy numbers over the years. 240k people in Dublin for a weekend in 2005, the 150k Popmart show.

    If U2 had a tendency to play in open fields in 87, 01, 05 or 09 then I reckon they should have sold as many tickets as they liked. As it was though, their touring management kept things more controlled with stadiums for the most part.

    U2’s similar trajectory period would surely have been 1987. JT release, Time magazine cover then scaling up to stadiums in North America and Europe. All the more impressive for coming ten years in to their careers rather than blowing up from nothing like Oasis did for their purple patch.
  6. Definitely Slane (2001) was the big moment for the band I’d say. It was a mini comeback as with Pop they might still have been the biggest band in the world but they were so on the reputation of their previous work. ATYCLB with beautiful day as lead single made them popular again for their current material and had fans buzzing about seeing the band live because of what they were doing in that present moment not just because of past glories. I think zoo tv was a better spectacle, better setlists, better shows even and Slane isn’t even my favourite release from the tour but as a big moment there isn’t really a zoo tv show that beats it or any other I can think of really.

    Glastonbury could/should've been... but it wasn't
  8. Fair point which is a shame really. If they’d played glastonbury in the middle or back of the elevation or vertigo tour even I think it would have been massive.
  9. Glastonbury during Elevation would have been a bit special. Minimal deviation in staging and I dare say U2 would have pressed to have the ellipse included as well.
