    In my opinion, absolutely, yes. Look at their return to Paris in 2015 after the atrocities there. Incredible show that was. The pair of shows in Mexico city will be incredibly special and emotional.

    Plus it'll be 20 years since they last played at Foro Sol.

    I agree, the question however is a good one. There’s obviously going to be some people it will affect negatively, people that have tickets that have maybe lost loved ones, maybe some will see a rock concert as insensitive, but as I’ve said previously music is something we turn to in difficult times and for a lot of people who have had to put up with the devastation caused by the earthquakes this will be a welcome break to take there minds off things for at least an evening.

    Yeah absolutely. It's a really sensistive situation. There's no right or wrong answer with it. People who had tickets, may still go, people who had tickets may choose not to go for a variety of reasons after the atrocities and that's perfectly understandable.
  4. I like it too. I was there and I was requesting the song, I obviously have a soft spot for that performance.

    And still I can admit it is a poor performance, specially in terms of Bono's lyrics (as usual).


  5. Do you think they'll play The Blackout, or will it be another one of these legendary songs which has never been played live? I think it'd be sensational live.

    I was thinking only a tour debut of a well known song already played before, like in the soundcheck report.

    There won't ever be anything legendary about the blackout
