1. Hi, everyone I live in ny and I was soooo excited to buy tickets for u2s 360 tour on July 20th in nj and then I listened to some of their songs from the 2009 360 tour and didn't understand why all the songs sounded sooo different?! I have never been to a u2 concert and have always loved them but when I heard all the songs I loved be played so differently it made me not want to buy the tickets anymore. I totally understand they have been singing the same songs for so many years and they are problay so bored and want to change it up a bit but it's just so upsetting not to hear the songs not being played the way I have always remembered them not sure if I will still buy tickets are not.

    The fact that they do in fact rearrange the songs (i.e., play them differently from the album versions) is why you would want to go to the show - it's what makes U2 the great (live) band that they are!

    Additional Comment: The songs aren't THAT different, so not to worry. You'll enjoy the show - immensely!

    Part of the joy of live music is hearing a different version of the songs you know. There's almost no way to reproduce U2's album sound with only the 4 of them playing live on stage. And why would you want them to attempt to reproduce the album when you can play the album any time? Go to the show, you'll have the time of your life. Promise
