1. Please help me out here as I'm finally starting to pay attention to all of this ....

    So we have this book (interesting) called "Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story" and an album (assuming no April Fool's joke) called "Songs of Surrender." Got it.

    Are we expecting 40 rearranged songs for this album?
  2. Rummy - have a read of the U2songs article. It suggests 14-15 reworked tracks for the ‘Songs Of Surrender’ (TBC) LP

    It wasn’t an April Fools prank. The article on U2Songs was planned for posting on March 31, and got pushed back a day because of the Fulbright Prize stuff.
  4. Sweet version of WOWY
  5. Ah, yes. Thank you.
    But wouldn't it be great if it were a package of 40 songs?!
  6. Did anyone notice the return of the fat lady voice at the end of the bridge for Angel of Harlem? It was a little quieter than we used to but it was the damn fat lady voice lol love it. More falsetto Bono please!!
  7. Yesss ! The falsetto sounded goood.

  9. I just watched the Kyiv performance. With or Without was so good here as others have posted. I think Stuck in A Moment would have worked well in this show. Also, interesting how no Songs of Imnocence or Experience were played. Perhaps even Bono and Edge have moved on from them.
  10. I wouldn't read too much into the setlist.. they probably picked songs that they thought would have resonated the most with the current situation, or maybe just more familiar songs. I thought all were good except Vertigo, thought it.was meh. Was impressed by Bono's singing, though 👍. Edit - SoI and SoE came out almost five and eight years ago..I would hope they'd move on from them.. hopefully if the next tour is promoting a new album, they won't have an innocence/experience set with 8 songs from the last two albums..but that's for another thread LOL

    Not playing “Stuck”, “Staring” or “Stay” is kind of a failure.
