 Tour: Joshua Tree Tour 2017
Songs played: 22
Audio recordings: 1
  1. I was at the Toronto show, and a friend and his father were there as well. His father was at a 1987 show in the same building no less, and said it was amazing hearing the songs again, seeing the imagery, etc. He said the band were certainly tighter these days, but obviously the energy wasn't quite as there. Nevertheless, I could tell it was a pretty special night for him. He then left us for the evening to try and get backstage :p he's met the band before, even gave Bono a rosary once.

    So cool. That's such a unique experience, to see a band that many years apart, even with less energy, and not doing a greatest hits tour (sort of).

    No doubt. As Bono just said to the Indianapolis audience in reference to the dalton brothers debuting there 30 years ago: "some of You Were there, some of you wish you had been". I wonder if there's another fan base with as many younger fans who feel as though they missed out seeing the band in their prime.
  4. The Dalton's!
  5. I actually just remembered that someone I knew in high school's father had seen U2 here in Ottawa at a small club (which is still there, just up the street from where I live now actually) called Barrymore's in 1981, and at a small arena (that's even closer to where I live, just around the corner - I live downtown :p) in 1985. I had to try to keep my composure as I swooned at him barraging him with questions, trying to get him to remember the experience and relay it to a young budding U2 fan
  6. ok so best One Tree Hill of the tour

    That's awesome! I did that in Boston during the I+E tour - sat next to a guy who had seen them since UF Tour, bothered him with questions until the show started.

    Genuinely jealous of those fans. The band will not be touring by the time I have kids, so those who are taking their kids now should cherish this
  9. Hahaha yeah, it's the only way we can get close to those years! Asking people who were there.

    And most definitely (about bringing kids now).
  10. Exit needs to be carried into the next tour. Chills listening now, and remembering how powerful and great it was in the building. Scary powerful.
  11. I touched Bonos hand during hold out your hand holy shit I'm dead this is fucking beautiful
  12. Lmao as if this dude is "live-posting" from the show.
