  2. Maybe the vid uploaders didn't have any more time to toy around with Windows Movie Maker
  3. According to the latest @U2 article, the band is present in Vancouver with rehearsals well underway (there's a video with rehearsals for Invisible)

    Thx...but why only 24 seconds of video/audio ...
  6. The guy that posted that setlist photo has posted a long post at @U2. Obviously, it discusses some arguments and replies that occurred there, but we also mentioned them here. I'm reproducing it in its entirety:

    Hi guys
    Haven't been here in a long time but knew this practice list pic would make it here. As an admin for four U2 group pages on FB , I am the one that posted this pic. The copy and paste paragraph naming the fan is from my post on the group pages. I felt a much needed confirmation had to be made. I found the original post on a another fan page. I contacted Robert and asked him if this was fake and or where did he find it. His reply with a tough time of speaking english was "not fake... true.... not found..given to me".. I then asked how he got it. He stated "copy from friend working inside rehearsals"... With that I still was not satisfied so I contacted mutual friends on what kind of person is this fan and all of them said he is a straight up guy. One person said, "three weeks ago, he posted where the rehearsals were going to before it was announced". So I thought to myself how would he have known that if he wasn't legit. I've heard more weird connections to the band but I believed this guy to be telling the truth. I encouraged anyone with doubt to message him...

    Reading this thread I'd like to throw some considered food for thought. First off this is NOT a set in stone setlist. This is a considered practice list. Bono said this tour would have "rarities"... IMO there will not be one show electric the next show acoustic. I believe it will be a combo of both in one show. Given the 5-8 nights I'm sure some songs may be added while some songs will be deleted and perhaps a different order of songs. Only time will tell how they are going to make each show fresh and bright with older songs trying to capture those special live moments. Thus the I & E experience for all. This considered practice list is pre tour protocol formula as they find what they are comfortable with and deem fit. Each show having a combo electric and acoustic makes more sense and the band realizes that a lot of fans will be pi**ed if their whole show was acoustic and visa versa.

    There is also mention of snippets in the list that some feel the list is fake due to the snippets. Does everyone believe the snippets of past tours were off the cuff by Bono? I don't believe so and they are practiced before that live moment due to the bands perfection in playing live. Can someone provide a picture of past tour snippets on a practice list ? No, so that is not a reason to base it being fake at all.

    Next is the acoustic version of Acrobat getting fans bowels in an uproar. Closest thing is the Hershey PA rehearsals. Has anybody ever asked themselves WHY this hasn't been played live especially the the much used mantra, "don't let the bastards grind you down"?? My theory falls in the same lines as ES not being played on the Vertigo tour as Edge said they did not feel comfortable or satisfied on transferring it live. But the 360 brought it live only to be ditched after a hand full of shows. For all we know there may be some sort of technical glitch to get it to live perfection. We don't exactly know but they are trying to play it. How does most songs happen? With an acoustic guitar, melody and words only later to be made into full band versions. One fan here pointed that out perhaps we will see a full blown electric Edge getting crazy version in due time... after practicing or playing it live or acoustic .. stadiums 2016 they will be peaking and we just may have this come to fruition.

    The last thing is fans posting how the staples songs such as One, Pride , SBS, etc are not on the practice list. BD was rehearsed but is not on that days practice list in the pic and who is to say they won't every now and then throw these songs out there. They have been played to death. The band is probably just as tired in playing them as fans hearing them. They can occasionally throw one of these staples out there playing them while standing on their heads. My all time favorite is UTEOTW and if its not in the show, sure I'll miss it but I'll still live and having 2HBA1 in instead personally for me is a good swap. We all have passion for this band without a doubt. At the end of every tour I get choked up thinking is this the last time I will see them. With that fear comes a new album, new tour for all of us to be elevated and thankful that we still have the opportunity to see them again. I'm stoked and can't wait for all of this to be played out in a magical atmosphere with 25,000 of my fellow fans

    Thanks guys for taking the time to read this and may you all "HAVE A GREAT SHOW"!

  7. Edge should not lose hope so easily about replicating Acrobat live.
    Yes, its in 6/8 which is not usual for U2, but he can certainly handle it.

  8. Does this mean that the videos outside the door were fake if nobody can get close to the arena.

    Where is this photo you speak of?
  11. Thanks! This seems vaguely familiar. I also wouldn't hate seeing it as a setlist! (I'd change some around though!)
  12. Even if it's fake it's the best fantasy set I've seen yet
