    thats your opinion and I don't share it. they fucked some songs on the first night/


  2. One but its a dead song. Unknown Caller had a dodgy but is still the best version so far. No bias whatsoever because I was at the show. I remember very little of the show
  3. Messing up some parts or even some songs doesn't mean that a show is crap. OK, the solo of Unknown Caller, maybe MOS, One and WOWY. And what? The overall performance was great, the energy (from both the band and the audience) was incredible and it was full of surprises. That's the main three things that define a great show.
  4. all Barcelona missed was Bad. I was all geared up to hear it on the second night. Would have been insane. I somehow reckon if they had played it that early that it would have sounded better than the half arsed versions we've gotten so far.

    Milan I has great performances of IALW, Magnificent, No Line, Stand By Me and the best ever UV.

    Quite a show.

    best UC to date for me. This show just seems and feels different to every other gig I have listened to from this tour
  8. Milan 1 is better i think. I love the Barcelona show but Milan 1 has better performances and a wilder audience. Barcelona has the upper hand on surprises.

    Although that part is based on taped bootlegs..


  10. and stadium. Nou Camp is completely open. Nothing to keep the crowd noise in like San Siro, Wembley, Cardiff etc so hard to judge from bootlegs. Barca crowd did well. Better than Dublin
  11. Barcelona 1 has indeed a great vibe. I think the anticipation (remember those days), the audience and the rather rough but explosive performance make it a special show. Not my favourite - some songs obviously needed a bit of practice, my heart goes to Paris 2 and Dublin 3 - but I'll keep it for sure. A must-have for NLOTH, TUF and UV alone. In my opinion, the whole first half of the first leg was awesome anyway.

    Dublin 3 was my least appreciated Dublin gig. As time passes though, it has turned out to be the best of the 3 I reckon. You are so right about those 3 Barca songs. Id add Breathe and Crazy Tonight to that list.
