  4. That's a no from me....Bono sounds horrific
  8. I like it, though definitely prefer Bono's earlier version, but then again I would imagine most of us here on U2Start are likely biased that way anyhow.

    If covid19 wasn't a thing right now. you can kinda imagine the band and production crew spending months refining this and totally overcooking it with mixing before releasing it on a new album, or on the other hand shelving it because it doesn't fit the concept / narrative of whatever the new album is.

    Yet that first unpolished version Bono sang a few weeks ago was an absolute gem, albeit a slightly unpolished one - but Bono sounded beautiful on it - the melody, tone and poignancy were just perfect, and even more so considering the subject matter - imho at least.

    I wonder how many rough gems the band have discarded or put in the vaults down the years for one reason or another that will never see the light of day.

    If there's more gas in the tank in the next few years for U2 and when this awful pandemic is beaten, then I do hope the band refrain from this endless mixing / production we've had over the last 15 years or so, and go with some gut instinct on any future albums.

    Sometimes I'm sure the song is pretty much 'there' right away with the exception of a little bit of polish.

    Anyway, rambling... back to U2 Latest News and Sightings...
  9. Don't know if its really news but if you buy the new iPhone SE in PRODUCT(RED) some of the money goes to the global fund fighting Covid instead of HIV now.
  10. They shared a video of City Of Blinding Lights from Vertigo Tour in Vancouver 2005 on their Facebook(and instagram):
    https://www.facebook.com/u2/videos/2634493103494264/

    Have they shared anything from this show before?

    If I remember correctly, they recorded the Vancouver shows, but decided to record and release Chicago instead(?)
  11. The Vancouver shoot was the official video shoot. That's the official video.
  12. They shared, well, the official COBL videoclip. Uploaded 11 years ago
