  1. I gotta be honest (and I think I already have about this), EV sure messes up a lot on this tour. I may get banned from this thread for what I'm about to say but maybe he shouldn't try to remember how to sing ALL of their songs over the course of one month - maybe whittle it down to "only" 100 of them.

    Totally agree. I can't remember a group of shows that have had so many mistakes.
    I've heard RM messed up at least 2-3 different nights. I think he needs a confidence monitor. He can still screw up randomly just to make it unique. But overall I think these are great setlists with not so great performances.
  3. Well, hopefully all the many-times-played have at least one good performance on this tour - in the end, that's all I will need.
  4. I'm hoping they get better . It seems Baltimore, Hartford seem a little tighter musically.
    I still prefer some of the old songs at slower tempos and not as fast as they can play them. But I'm showing my age.
  5. I agree with you about the two most recent bootlegs. Fewer mistakes, for sure. I guess they needed some time (8 shows!) to get their footing.

    BANNED. That's it. Lol. I'm being sarcastic I don't love it but it doesn't bother me too much because of the variety. If he fucked up that much rotating 35 songs I'd be pissed!! BTW....Betterman from Hartford.....WOW

    When you're there the shows are unbelievable. Try to remember that not many artists are under the microscope with every live show like PJ is. They put all their mistakes out by releasing every show with no cover ups or editing.
  8. I posted that video to get some laughs and bring this topic back to life but it ended up being evidence that when you're there, nobody gives a shit when he messes up. He comes on stage Nd mangles the mood setting opening song and the crowd got soo loud !
  9. Hartford is a great boot... Eruption--> Ain't Talking is kick-ass

    Of course you are right...concerts are for attending and enjoying them while you are there...the bootlegs are indeed a bonus. I honestly didn't think there was a single issue with the Buffalo performance while I was there.

    For this reason, I don't care if U2 plays essentially the same set every night because I'll only see it for myself once, anyway.

    What's great about PJ can also be frustrating...you end up whining about what you DIDN'T get!

    Cripes...I am all over the place in this post!
  11. Matt I understand exactly what u mean....

    My remarks are totally based on years of bootlegs i have. Just seems that the new songs are a little more complicated and maybe that took away from the one they have done so long. Plus as you get older you do forget and maybe get a little sloppy and have a little bit tuffer time with concentration. I know as a musician i have to prepare a lot more in my early 40's then when i was in my 30's. Your mind plays tricks on you.
    And going to shows you never hear the little mistakes like you do listening back with a perfect mix.
    I remember going to Atlanta March 2001 Elevation Tour thinking they nailed it. (which they did) only to hear bootleg Sb recording years later and thinking, wow they hit some bad notes and Bono mumbled some lyrics. All good
