    I can't believe I never thought of this. Lemon was very taxing on Bono, even back then. Goodness knows how he would manage now.

    I second all of this, but I have no hope for Discotheque. I think they're going to write off the CT snippet as "bringing it back" and hit other stuff.


    ...which is why they should have had it on U22/From The Ground Up!

    Also I LOVE the idea of the dance party encore.

    I thought the issue was with Bono being unable to hit the LOW notes nowadays, not the high ones.

  4. I think it's a bit of both, he has to stay in that strong "middle range" haha make Edge do the falsetto

  5. Yeah. but at hte same time I haven't heard Bono do a consistent falsetto since the 90's, and Lemon is ALL falsetto pretty much.
  6. Bring back the Bomb.

    SYCMIOYO
    Miracle Drug
    Original Of the Species


    He also needs to bring back his Elevation Tour persona. During the Vertigo Tour he had a very cool and slick presence that's reminiscence of The Fly persona, but jazzed up. I don't think he could bring this back. His Elevation Tour demeanor was fantastic. He was very raw, definitely down to earth, and also very bold. Regarding his speeches, I'd say they were almost preachy. We need preachy Bono back.

    Plus, we need Kite, Wild Horses, Bad and 40 played on a consistent basis. People have mentioned that Bad and 40 were only played on occasion in order to avoid losing their significance and power, but I'd say those assessments are incorrect. Bad and 40 are just as powerful, if not more so than they were back when they were first released. Heck, Streets gets played every night and it's still incredibly powerful because it's one of their anthems (granted, I have heard of people getting tired of SBS though).
  7. And for the stage, I think they should do a modified version of their Vertigo Tour arena stage while incorporating elements of 360. That would mean moving the stage to the center of the arena and allowing GA to surround the stage for the most part. It can have an outer catwalk as in previous tours. For the screens, they should bring back the LED curtains for the main visuals. If they are sticking to arenas for their next tour, those curtains will allow them to be very creative with visuals as they can be attached from the ceiling in whatever fashion they desire.

    yep, exactly. We don't need another version of WOWY, play it rarely so it can sound "more special" if that makes sense.

    Do you guys think Bullet will return? I'd be down I think it's had a long enough rest LOL


    I would LOVE to hear Bullet....but not the Vertigo rendition.

    It would have to have SWAGGER.

  10. I would like to see the return of Bullet (My fav song so I would be very happy). Maybe the JT/RH version?
  11. They seem to like revisiting the ZooTV tour - parts of it, anyway. Playing those versions of BTBS and RTSS would be epic - although not very progressive, I suppose.
  12. Elevation tour Bono is best Bono.
