  1. I’ll never understand the bands reasoning on that kind of stuff.
  2. They've had decades to either start or plan on releasing things from the vault. Sure, we've had Medium, Rare and Remastered, the "Baby" Achtung Baby, some B-sides. But by and large, they've never really had an interest in this kind of stuff, we all know that. And having all these shows on U2.com is pretty easy and stale IMHO.

  4. So the U2 twitter team decides to tease the Chicago stream with All Because of You... Except the sound is pitch shifted a note or two upwards. WTF happened ? Are they afraid of automated copyright strikes against themselves ?

    Or did they actually took this from the stream, which they botched so bad that saturday the whole movie will be pitched up ? How does a mistake like this happen without someone intentionally pitching it up ?

  5. Actually it does seem like the tempo is faster too. So the video is sped up, which probably resulted in the pitch being altered too, accidentally.

    I guess someone fucked up with a framerate conversion somewhere... But will they realize it before Saturday
  6. Always thought All Because Of You sounded a bit thin live. I feel like the song would be better served with Bono on rhythm guitar or something to make it fuller.
  7. The clip was also in the wrong aspect ratio. Hopefully this is just due to the video conversion the social media software imposes on uploads and not representative of the actual stream.
  8. I still think the best live version of ABOY is the one they did at the Brooklyn Bridge.
  9. ABOY was flat in 2018.
  10. 100% agree! Was at that show and every version I’ve heard since has underwhelmed me.
  11. Agreed. I've said this before, but ABOY is one of those U2 songs that NEEDS a rhythm guitar to really fill out the sound. When Edge switches from playing the main riff to his lead fills, the bottom of the song just drops out. There needs to be somebody playing the riffage while Edge focuses on the leads. There are many songs like this, and Bono never was an efficient rhythm guitar player even when he was able to do it. Full band "Stay", "Fly" and "One" are other songs that suffer from a lack of rhythm guitar.
