    I've got to agree with that. As much as I love the song, I hope that it isn't played regularly on the next tour, for the exact reasons that you've listed here. If they keep it in rotation, I'd love to hear "Love Will Tear Us Apart" again too...I get chills everytime I hear that snippet.


    Love Will Tear Us Apart snippeted at all of the below shows :


    2005-06-14 - Manchester, England - City of Manchester Stadium
    2005-09-21 - Chicago, Illinois, USA - United Center
    2005-11-02 - Los Angeles, California, USA - Staples Center
    2005-11-21 - New York, New York, USA - Madison Square Garden
    2006-11-10 - Sydney, New South Wales, Australia - Telstra Stadium
    2006-11-11 - Sydney, New South Wales, Australia - Telstra Stadium
    2006-11-18 - Melbourne, Victoria, Australia - Telstra Dome

    Well,
    1) I must have been listening to a different show to other BRT members, because I honestly thought the sound wasn't too bad. Everyone was audible enough. Granted I'm not an audiophile as you referred to.
    2) When oh when, will Bono feel like singing WOWY again??!!
    3) Could someone pls explain to me how this was a "lazy" performance? It was laid back and relaxed with a kinda party feel to it, but that's not lazy. The boys were just having fun and that came through in the performance. It one of the reasons why this will stay on my iPod for a little while.




    1) Personal preference. I'm turning into a bit of an audiophile and the audio was way too compressed. I just couldn't listen to it. I've downloaded the lossless and converted it again myself and i'll try listening to the show again. 3.5-4 in it's current trim.

    2) Never it would seem

    3) I just didn't like the overall ambient of the show. It felt flat, Bono's playing to the crowd seemed a little to false and structured. Bono sounded tired, there was too much empty space in between songs, another One speech, more Africa Africa Africa during Streets, i'm all vurned out on Vertigo. . .

    a) I agree, I thought the sound was good - in some cases I prefer it to a lot of remastered stuff...I prefer to have things blended in rather than having each different part really clanging me in the lugs
    b) I quite liked WOWY, but yeah Bono's voice isn't what it once was...but I still think he's all for singing it, just has to make a few adjustments vocally...
    c) Like you, I thought this was great as a performance, wouldn't say it was lazy at all - relaxed for sure, I mean, just take Instant Karma. Great performance, everyone sounded like they enjoyed playing it and the crowd soaked it up

    I actually love the "Crumbs" version on the album....IMO it's classic U2: ringing guitar, xylophone in the intro, 2 chords in the verses....but the falsetto is just too high for Bono to consistently shift between that and his regular voice, and it really took the power out of the song.


    Yeah, were it not for Bono not nailing the vocals, I'd have given it 7-8/10 as a performance, but as it was I'd either say 5-6/10 - great musical performance, but bollocks with regards to the vocals...well, bit harsh but he didn't crack it, did our Bono...

    That's funny, I downloaded the Nov. 4 show a while back and haven't listened to it! I'll have to check it out now, thanks!


    Have you checked Beautiful Day, Las Vegas yet?

    No bother. Sunday's the last day anyway, so that's fine

    1) Compared to other boots it's average. It's fine to get through in my opinion, but worthy of no more than 3 stars, 3.5 at a push. No audience boot deserves more than 4 (as there's always some loss) and this is not a top-notch audience. 3 it is in my opinion.

    2) There were some good WOWY on Vertigo. This just wasn't one. They sang it at my gig in Cardiff and it was great. But I do miss the extended guitar and the snippets. I agree it could do with being an occasional on the next tour to spice it up a bit

    3) I thought WOWY and Mysterious Ways were lazy vocally. But I didn't think the gig generally was lazy. Just relaxed. As I said in my review, I liked it for that.

    happy days


  11. It is better...my untrained ears can pick up a slight difference, but to be honest, if you hadn't upgraded to 192, I would have been content with the 128. I'm slowly coming around to this "no more 128kps" idea though....
