    [..] That's really funny because it was one of the best versions I've ever heard.


    Many other points that we've disagreed on, but that's the beauty of this forum.

    I would encourage U2 to experiment with their set, especially early in the tour, and that's exactly what they did here. It's something they didn't do enough of during Popmart - same setlist the whole way through.


    Yea 4 Pop songs wouldnt be happenin. Miami is hated around here by a lot, so what I was trying to say was they couldve played anything other than New York. Perhaps Acrobats first performance? As for In a Little While, I just didn't get it.

    Indeed, I love this forum as well. I could leave alone LLR for a month and nothing would change. And yea, I like it when bands change up the set. It gives a sense of unpredictability, which is what rock'n'roll is about. Maybe thats why PopMart got pissed on so much by the critics too. However PopMart changed up a little... Mofo's pause, switching around the order of songs (like Gone then EBTTRT, although when EBTTRT was 3rd it kinda felt like Zoo TV), etc.

    I wish U2 would experiment not just with their newer material, but older stuff too. Like how on Elevation they brought back Out of Control. Or on Vertigo they brought back more Boy era stuff. Perhaps the new tour could feature War? But then again, they did play some odds and sods at 2007-11-23 - Islington, England - Union Chapel. I could definitely go for a live version of Stay again! And bring back Elevation's Fly!!!!!!!

    EDIT: I got a little carried away there...
  2. So hey, should there be a list of shows reviewed? This could certainly help with a lot. Perhaps like what date it was started and check out the reviews on our own. It would show that even 3 star shows can be awesome. Most people go for 4 or 5 stars. Perhaps like this setting:

    for example ----------random dates. people, shows, etc...

    2020-05-16 ----- choice made by PaulBonoHewsonIII ------ 2019-12-31 Slane Castle Farewell Show


  4. Yea, but that hasnt really been updated. It will show who's turn it is, what shows, what date, and so on. It could organize BRT even better than it is now.

    Is it possible I could open up a topic like Dan's w/ what I said?

    Dan's working on getting up to speed with the reviews (updated just last week) and it will be on the money when it's done. Any more would be a little confusing. We just have to avoid using this topic for non round table chat and keep the talk strictly focused on our opinions and reviews.

    Right. However Dan's is just summaries. Maybe on here we could show a rotation for who's picking what for what week.

    If we did another topic we'd just fill it full of crap. What we'l do though is dig out the order and when someone posts their choice of show , they will have to pst the name of whoever is choosing next.

    Check out the post count. . .

    Ok mate. I just preferred that intro is all. Thanks for picking this gig. I obviously enjoyed it a lot more than others did. I loved the setlist and the audience was good, Adam being pretty mute in parts was really my only big criticism - that and Desire. I'm going to keep it. I really don't know why people hate diversity in setlists....


    Glad you enjoyed it! I'm in agreement about Desire, I forgot to write about that in my review. Just like Gerard said, it was like they weren't sure how to pull that song off yet on this tour, and it didn't sound right with Edge on electric. Low point of the show for me.
  12. There are still other reviews to come for this show. Keep them coming. I'd really like to read them!
