Comments on this show
The incident in Stockholm in 2015 which led to a show to be postponed was not on its own in U2's history. Something similar happened in 1989 in Sydney, where before the show, the venue was evacuated due to a bomb threat. Thankfully, no bomb was found and the band were able to play a full concert. During the show, Bono made multiple jokes about the incident. It's a great example of the band turning a show on the verge of disaster into an epic performance. Hawkmoon 269, Desire with the So You Want To Be A Rock N' Roll Star snippet, and New Year's Day with the great Oh Maybe The Time Is Right part. This is also the only full tour concert since 1987 to not feature Where The Streets Have No Name in the setlist. What more reasons could we give you to listen to this show?
We encourage you to listen to this show this month and write your own review, the more, the better. Enjoy!
