    Enjoy the game Chris. I don't even know if we're having the discussion!
  9. I thought Gerard would take care of this place now that Dan's not here!
    Anyways...I wasn't "in" for this week, but yes, you have to post reviews until the end of Sunday, that is today.
    There don't seem to be enough people to have a discussion right now, but post your reviews, you can have the discussions through the week.
    Some people pulled out, but from what Dan had in his list, these haven't pulled out, so yea, we're expecting your reviews people!! >>

    Gerard (germcevoy)
    Sergio (LikeASong)
    Chris (jean_pasquerel)
    Nate (easports43)
    Casper (MWSAH)
    iTim

    That's it for me, I'm busy!! Nate, maybe you could PM Sergio, Chris and iTim? That's what Dan would probably do. I'm pretty sure Gerard and Casper will show up.
  10. I'll post mine, but only tomorrow, tonight I won't be able sorry...I think it's better late than never!
  11. Well, I don't have much to say about it. I'll have to start writing for my review.
  12. My first review

    Lyceum Ballroom (01/02/1981)

    Sound - Originally marked as 5*, but the sound quality is quite poor in my opinion, 2* I'd say, most of the time you can't hear Bono.

    1) 11 O'Clock Tick tock - I like this performance, only thing I didn't quite like was the fact that Bono couldn't sustain the high notes. Musically it's a very sound performance. 4/5

    2) Touch - First time I've heard this live. I like the studio version, it's quite good. Live...it's pretty good also. 3.5/5

    3) An Cat Dubh - One of my favourite songs live this. This performance is good, not one of the best. I don't like Bono's voice much on this and throughout the gig, it's as though he's shouting most of the time and he's not really putting any emotion into the songs, which lets it down a lot. Music-wise, another sound performance 3.5/5

    4) Into The Heart - The small crowd seem to like this one. I'm liking Edge's guitar on this, it's the first song so far that's made me shiver. Bono again, doesn't seem to be putting any emotion into it. 4/5

    5) Another time, Another Place - Don't like this performance at all. The introductory vocals, high pitched screaming, doesn't really do it for me. 2/5

    6) Electric Co. - This song is so good live it has to be included in every show I say. Still early days for it of course, only a year old. Brilliant performance. So far, the best from this gig. 5/5

    7) Things To Make And Do - Like Touch, this is the first time I've heard it live. Good song, hasn't got Bono ruining it with his poor vocals. 4/5

    8) Stories for Boys - This is the worst recording possible. I can't even hear Bono and the music is very very bassy. Because of the poor sound quality i'll have to give it 1/5

    9) Twilight - Same as Stories for Boys, poor sound. 1/5

    10) I Will Follow - Again, it's poor sound, but you can make this one out. And it's quite a good performance. 3/5

    11) Out Of Control - I don't like this performance. Bono again. It's as if he isn't really trying, I could sing some of these better than him to be fair. As we reach War, you can hear his voice getting better live and he's more into the music, this gig sounds like a kareoke. 2/5

    12) All Along The Watchtower - Terrible version of this song. Rattle & Hum is like a million times better. What is Bono doing? 1/5

    13) 11 O'Clock Tick Tock - For the second time tonight. Bono keeps the high notes in this one better, but I think I prefer it the first time round. 3.5/5

    Overall - The sound quality really lets us down here and the fact that Bono, in my opinion, isn't trying at all. No emotion, very shouty and at times you wonder if it's really him when you listen to some later stuff, not that much later mind you, 1983 onwards.

    Rating overall: 2.9/5
