  1. This.


  2. Taking the dust off Love Rescue Me was pretty awesome too, I remember it as being a real thrill. But the last time they blew me away is on the post above.
  3. accoustic no line for me.

  4. Speaking of soundchecks, apparently U2 soundchecked UTEOTW before my Chicago show...right before they soundchecked Moment of Surrender. I walked up to Soldier Field to the soundcheck of Moment of Surrender. If I would have been a mere 5 minutes earlier than I was, I would have blown the biggest surprise of my entire evening...funny how things work out
  5. I actually do remember one song that blew me away "recently"... it was in Zurich 2010-09-12 when they played Mercy for the very first time ever... and I stood there in the rain and could sing along to the lyrics that was incredible. This "first time ever" experience.
  6. One of them would be at Dublin I when they played Desire, Until The End of the World and Elevation at the same gig. 3 of 4 songs I especially wanted played, and they played them. Also, One was played early in the set, Bad was played, also The Auld Triangle. Brilliant show to attend, even when it was your first ever show!

    Another thing that blew me away by U2 was that Superbowl performance. It was only a month ago when it was the first time that I ever watched it, and Streets sent a massive amount of shivers down my spine. When Bono shows that American flag in his jacket... Oh. My. God. Outstanding.
  9. I don't like that either. Bono is irish, not american. Way too america-friendly moment for me.
  10. Tour debut of Until The End Of The World at Amsterdam II, which I witnessed. Brilliant, brilliant performance.
  11. The last time they blew me away definitely was this tiny Fez snippet in South Africa. I still can't get over it.


  12. I wasn't the biggest fan of it when he ever did it on tour at the shows, but in front of the most massive television audience you can possibly find, mere months after such a tremendous tragedy, I think it was a brilliant move in context of the situation. Scrolling the names of those victims, playing such meaningful music, really bringing America together with their music. I don't mean to sound at all condescending when I say this, but it might be harder to grasp, not living in the US- that was a really, really uniting thing when they did that. Helping fuel that American togetherness-spirit after 9/11...it was very moving.

    The more he did it though, the less it seemed to mean for some reason.
