    downloading right now
  2. even though i've been a U2 fan all my life, i'll say it again; U2 will never beat Bruce Springsteen when it comes to live performances.

    even though they are over 10 years younger, they'll never match Bruce's intensity nor his flexibility to switch around on the setlists any given night.

    there will never be anyone even close to Bruce when it comes to live performances. that's why he is the Boss.

    as my dad puts it: U2 always likes to tour with huge tour production, whether it be a huge Lemon or a huge Claw. Bruce just gets up there and plays. he doesn't need anything extra, he just needs his music to make a great show.

    On that note, how good of sound quality is the Foxboro show? I need to get one more download in before school i suppose
  5. foxboro is very good both soundwise and performance. The sound wobbles a bit during 'my love will not ....' so don't let it put you off.
  6. Ade thanks for all the great links. They are certainly appreciated greatly by this guy

    And songwriting, too.
  8. great recording and performance for Foxboro indeed
  9. Got a couple of new dvd's yesterday. Audience shot hyde park which is good plus second night madison square garden which is amazing, the best audience video i've ever seen. Shot with six cameras, the editing and switching between angles is captured perfectly. If you see one of these you owe it to yourself to get it.
  10. I've really grown quite an appreciation for Greetings From Asbury Park, NJ lately. It's a great album. Lost In The Flood has pretty much become one of my favorite U2 songs, that started when I heard it live.

  11. Mine too It's probably the best song off The Unforgettable Asbury.
