  1. Enjoyable reading from both of you guys. What a show! 4 out of 5 so far have specifically listed Electric Co. as one of the highlights. An excellent rendition.

    Originally posted by MWSAHI know the 1985 shows are great (Chicago, Wembley, Hartford, East Rutherford etc.) but 1984 just has better setlists and more energy in the show.


    I have Chicago and I enjoyed a Glasgow a lot more. Both shows are very good but this just had a lot more excitement and energy. Any other '85 shows anyone can recommend?

    I love that sentence!!!! Sums it up very well I think!

    The Unforgettable Fire - a lot of people have now put this as one of the great performances, and were it not for the performance from Denver (1987-07-11) I would be inclined to agree.


    I'd have to put this on close to a par with Denver. Denver had stay tonight "in a lie" which is my favourite lyric from that song...Glasgow didn't.

    Two Hearts Beat As One - I don't like this song that much, still don't really, but as far as this show goes, it's an amazing performance and the crowd fed off the energy it generates; just listen to them sing the refrain on the first chorus...awesome.


    Agreed it's a shit song but they played it well.

    a) they're the best band the world has seen, and probably ever will, and;
    b) why we love them so much.

    Who needs drugs when you can listen to U2?

    didn't pull no strings for me either. I think the reviews so far have been praising too highly. Excellent it is but there is way better out there

    Taste differs mates, that's lovely about music, we could discuss it for eternity.

    I wouldn't put it anywhere on par with the R&H version, must be said, but like Casper said, tis the beauty of music (and the differences in opinion...)

    I don't really like R&H's Bad..can't see what's so special with that one..

    I just think it's a classic of the 80s, BUT I prefer ZooTV versions myself...and you can't beat some of the Elevation performances...

    ...I'm yet to get hold of one of the few PopMart shows with Bad on though...

    ...but yeah, let's stop before we get truly started, another topic for another place (General Chat beckons, no doubt!)

    and no "Wide Awake" 's either. Not sure if he couldn't be bothered or couldn't reach, but either way....

    But I agree Casper. Each to their own.

    That's what I love, it's different compared to others, so less predictable. It's a special one.
  12. Good to hear Edge cock up the start of Sunday Bloody Sunday. Tip for those listening on iPods : set the EQ to Bass Booseter. Works wonders
