  1. 'Twas really a fantastic show last night, and I'm so glad to have been there. The setlist was fantastic and the crowd was totally into it.

    I gotta say I don't remember this much negativity being thrown at the band on this site on the last tour. There's always been setlist discussion, but I really don't remember "boring, boring, this sucks" etc. Every tour starts off a bit unfocused, but the shows were still fantastic. You guys are concentrating too much on the negatives. Why not talk about how the SBS arrangement is cool and different? Or how it's cool that edge is playing the album solo on Bullet? Last night Bono was swinging the microphone like the umbrella on pop mart :p

    Last night there were so many cool moments. During Every Breaking Wave a huge portion of the audience lit up their cell phone flashlights, and while it's been done before with screens, this basically made it feel like the house lights were on and it was quite a sight to behold. Hearing a song played for the first time ever was cool, and it helped that Lucifers Hands was played really well. That song plays, man...

    Other things like a guy being brought on stage to play Angel on Edges Rickenbacker - Bono: "now be very careful, this is Edges guitar. Do you know how to play twelve string? Okay.. Edge, it's gonna be okay" haha. It was awesome!

    Bad was fucking amazing, I nearly passed out from excitement and so did everyone around me.

    One. The whole damn room sung the whole damn song and Bono just ran with it. It was pure magic.

    Now, people can sit here in front of their monitors watching the setlist come in complaining, and maybe you have seen a show and truly didn't enjoy it. I feel bad for you, because the last two nights of my life were ones I won't forget, and they most definitely stack up there easily against the 360 shows I saw.
  2. Yeah, I don't get it either. This is a U2 fan forum and there is more negatives than positives. Of course everyone here cares for the band a great deal but why so grim? I for one am excited every night that my favorite band in the whole world is on the road again touring. It's been such a long time since their last tour so almost everything they do is amazing to me!

    Just enjoy the ride folks, it will only get better!
  3. Lucifer's hands. Didn't see that one coming!


  4. You're starting to come across as a bit of a Kool aid drinker
  5. Honestly, I think we enjoy U2 concerts the least. Casual fans enjoy them more.
  6. Sure, it was great to hear U2 have the balls to try something new and it was great to hear Bad return to the set with a new snippet leading in from Beautiful Day. I'm quite surprised you didn't come on here to complain that Lucifer's Hands destroyed a finely tuned setlist or that a (to use your own words here) trash song like Elevation would've been better. You were the one against variation, so don't start on here when we get some as though we've been chatting shit the whole time.

    "Selective reading" you accused Glenn of having yesterday while arguing the toss over the wording of the tour announcement. I think you have selective reading when it comes to posts callings for variation.

    Thank you for sharing your beautiful concert experience

    (...and while saying this, I realize that I may sound a bit woolly and new/next age-ish...
    Ah well...I just think we're having a wonderful tour on our hands )
  8. Love the mirrorball guy, and Lucifer's hands.... Amazing !!
    U2 are steeming hot right now. Hope they have the same
    energy in AMSTERDAM !!!
  9. I think we all enjoy U2 concerts equally, we just have a different set of songs that we would like to hear live. If we go back to 360, I enjoyed Vertigo and I enjoyed Mysterious Ways, but I went mad for The Unforgettable Fire and Ultraviolet. Casuals will enjoy The Unforgettable Fire and Ultraviolet but go mad for Vertigo and Mysterious Ways. There's no harm in that, we all have fun at the end of the day.
  11. looks like last night's show was a blast! lucifer's hands, awesome! can't wait to listen to the bootleg, if there will be one
