    Company that created the screen of Popmart tour LED, back to work with U2 in innocence + Experience. LSII the company disclosed on twitter days ago will return to work with U2 providing its LED technology ". U2 will now be on tour with our LED technology and tonight will be testing live in Vancouver, Canada"


    Thanks for the heads up I found it weird that no external companies, manufacturers or designers had mentioned anything regarding U2. They're achieving almost the same secrecy than they did with the album!
  2. ^ Yeah we should be glad they announced tour in advance lol
  3. Talked to a fan that confirmed that Follow/Sunday had been played the week before. Do I need to make a running list of keep a daily tab running? Sat/Sun was quiet - probably when the muscle get practice putting things in/out boxes/trucks/venue ceiling. Otherwise Edge would make Dallas work 100+ hours a week.

    BAD had 3 "Wide Awakes" in full voice, couple mid song woos, Norwegian Wood/Ruby Tuesday tags. Bono going about 80% effort for this rehearsal. Couple hours later than ran thru it again with no tags Bono only doing a single "Wide Awake".

    EVEN BETTER is not the 2011 mix. "You Take Me Higher" was full voice.

    DESIRE is Edge on electric with some Adam/Larry. Full guitar solo and Not Fade Away tag.

    PRIDE is sung a full step down. No tag this time.

    EVERY BREAKING WAVE tonight was low key Bono voice/Edge keys version. Big hole left for string section. A full band version was done last week - perfect for the double vertigo treatment

    WOWY was done with full head voice in the high bits. Lots of space for possible string. A "birdie" told us 5 songs will have strings.

    I have a full page of notes including a couple jaw droppers that I will ration out this week. I also have new info about the screen.
    #U2Request Results 2015
    They have now done 9 songs from this list. None in the top 10, but looks like anyone reading this thread and seeing a handful of shows can add upwards 15 unique songs to their lifetime U2 concert checklists including the new SOI album.

    From another site, take with a grain of salt
  4. That last part sounds made up. If there were jawdroppers, that's the first the thing I would mention. Not that they played SBS.
  5. I can see it being legit.. I can count six of the nine songs from the request thing that aren't top ten, that have been mentioned as being rehearsed.. Invisible, electric co, every breaking wave, ordinary love, Pride.. Maybe five can't remember the other.. But it's not that hard to believe when songs like those are on the list!
  6. My point is : if the guy knows Please or Acrobat has been rehearsed, I'd run to my PC and tell you guys immediately.

    Thanks for sharing! I hope it's not made up. That description of Desire sounds like Slane Castle version (Edge on electric guitar, some Adam and Larry). And orchestra for 5 songs = good
  8. Now I'm glad they're rehearsing EBTTRT, if it's all true.
  9. More from that fan:

    Screen seems to be a fixed piece about 25-30 feet high and runs from "hockey net to hockey net". The top of the screen hangs about the same height as top lower bowl/suites in most modern arenas. Screen is "see-thru" like the NIN tour in 2013 but this is double sided. Trent has joked about U2 using similar technology as NIN tours so this may be a reference to that he knew a couple years in advance. Invisible(like video)/Bullet(yellow sirens & floodlights) had cool effects but the rest seemed like the usual "screen saver" level stuff U2 are sometimes guilty of using in production.

    -The Troubles - AFAIK the final song from SOI to be rehearsed/played live. Canned Lykke Li vocals. The Lou Reed thing in 1992 might be the only other time they did canned lead vocals. Weird that she doesn't want to work a relatively low-pressure 20-30 minutes a week and travel the globe at a 5 star level with U2 all expenses paid while gaining enormous goodwill for her career. Maybe she will pop up in London/Sweden/LA/NYC.

    -One Step Closer. I think this is the final Bomb song to be done live. Seemed to be Bono voice and Edge electric guitar only in a casual arrangement
  10. Interesting one: One Step Closer. Guess that's one no one thought of. I'd like it.
  11. I love One Step Closer!
  12. if it's true, I'm annoyed to see pride (and even wowy - as much as I love this song) in there.

    that they practiced 9 u2request songs - but no top10 ones - is very interesting. really curious about which songs that'll be.

    I don't see one step closer fit in there, but it's a nice song, wouldn't mind hearing it

    /yes, this is high-end nagging
