  1. Dallas actually does not play guitar during U2 shows. He's too busy getting Edge's next guitar ready, and paying attention to Edge's sound, pushing buttons and pedals to change his effects, etc. I believe he is so busy he even has his own assistant to help him during concerts.

    The only time I recall Dallas playing backup guitar is in the video for "This Is", where he can be seen strumming an acoustic while Edge plays the electric guitar.

    Terry Lawless, and Des Broadberry before him, play backup keyboards under the stage. Terry says they actually asked him if he wanted to be onstage, but prefers the anonymity of not being onstage. He's essentially the 5th member of U2, but he can still walk around in broad daylight and nobody will notice/bother him.
  2. MOST U2 songs (besides the early days, where their sound was mainly built around the rhythm section and Edge's delay effects) could benefit from a full on rhythm guitarist. Even something like ISHFWILF should have an acoustic strumming along.
  3. Joshua Tree Tour Sydney 2019/11/22 in u2torrents (new mix)
    I can't download it

    The shimmer has been working well. They are fairly certain that they are not going to change the 4 piece visual.
  5. Pretty sure he’s mentioned playing some notes in the background at some point or maybe he mentioned to me when I met him I forget
  6. I mean, if the solo for Invisible was a pre-recorded Backing Track, pretty sure they can just play the rhythm guitar over the PA.

  7. If any of you are interested and have not heard it before... 21 days left to listen from date of this post.

    This is a great interview with Edge and radio DJ Roger Scott who sadly passed away not long after this was recorded.
    He was a great pioneer for us to hear great music in the UK. Late night Scott on Sunday on BBC Radio 1 was where I heard some of the fantastic music I now have in my collection. His radio shows were as good as the standard set by the late John Peel, Annie Nightingale and Mark Radcliffe. Wonderful radio days! All captured on tape as broadcast (see below)...



    Interviews and spontaneous band 'pop ups' on radio/tv, of which there are many more just like these ranging from 1979 to 2001 when it all went digital for me (of which there is also an abundance right up to this year).
  9. the Edge's hat seems quite boring to me after the years...
  12. For someone who never seemed to age, Edge looks quite old in that picture
