    Setlist: not available
    Comments: Bono and Edge attend the annual meeting of Elevation Partners, a firm of which Bono is a founding member. For the event, the company fully booked Sam's Chowder House. Bono spoke to the assembled employees, partners, and investors and drew parallels between running a business and the creative process of writing music. Reports indicate that Bono and Edge then played two unreleased songs from the forthcoming new album, but no titles or other details are known.
  2. The same here. Everyone has a mobile phone to make a video or record a few wminutes of music, I doubt no one in all that audience recorded nothing...

    They may have been told explicitly to hand all recording devices over. A lot of record advance parties and PR events have that rule. Especially for songs from one of the biggest bands in the world. After the last French CD incident, I'd say U2 don't want to take any risks in having anything leaked early.

    That said, it's possible someone had a recording device hidden on them, and not a mobile phone. But did any of the staff know Bono and Edge were coming to visit?

    That's why I doubt someone had a proffesional mic and such things hidden, but it's much muuuch more likely that someone had his/her mobile phone recording, isn't it? And if I was at that advance party, I would not switch my mobile phone off

  6. Anybody elses excitement levels dropped? The longer we dony hear anyhing the less i'm seeming to care.


  7. Yup
    I haven't thought about it in quite a while...
    I got a bit exciting with that 2008-version of When Love Comes...but that's all...
  8. Maybe I'm getting excited when I hear some new tunes. At this moment I'm just... waiting.
  9. I'm just as excited, but containing it better and just waiting it out. But I'm definitely still excited
