I too enjoy listening to the 2003 (and 2000) shows to hear all those underrated tunes from Binaural and Riot Act. I still prefer those two albums over the most recent three. The performances of songs like Rival and Ghost are so fresh - and so rare nowadays! It'd be nice if they play those two tunes in Europe this summer.
Have you received your Gold Coast CD's yet? I hear they look very good. I never got around to ordering the CD version of the Buffalo show I attended - I just might have to do that once I find a few other things to order. They charge too much for shipping!
If you/anyone makes a compilation of tracks from the 2014 Aus/NZ run it should be called 'i'm dreaming of a big day out' - EV sings at end of save you melb
With there not being nearly as much variety of songs among the Aus/NZ shows, I doubt I'd make a very large compilation. However, I think a two-disc mix that features both new LB tracks and a bunch of hits from the 1990's might be in order.
I'd be happy to give it that title - I still would request some help with the cover art. In fact, I am still looking for suggestions with that other mix (or even a recommendation for a program that I could use).
Whoa....whoa....nothing here for four days...I guess that what happens when a band doesn't perform any concerts - and hence why I have posted next to nothing about U2 in the past two-plus years!!!!
Anyway, once I get through all of the Aussie shows (and one NZ show, of course) I think it's time to travel slowly but surely back in time and revisit the Euro 2012 shows (to "prep" for this summer) and then to the Canadian 2011 shows as a means of preparing for the fall (that's what one might call wishful thinking).
PS: Nice video you posted the other day, Nick. I'd never watched that one before. It's hard to believe how long it's been since then!
