E&I tour hits Berlin - All discussions

I was thinking about this as an option this morning,but it's just not a U2 thing to do.They aren't spontaneous,and (with apologies if I'm doing him a disservice) I just get the impression Edge wouldn't be comfortable being the sole focus for any length of time.I know he did karaoke on Popmart but that was one song in a show and deliberately cheesy.Again I could be doing him a disservice but would he be able to go out and play acoustic U2 songs for an hour or so?That sounds a bit of a daft question but he's rehearsed a set amount of songs for the tour,synced to set full-band arrangements and the visuals.He may not be in a position to just play stripped-down versions of the planned setlist,let alone classic/greatest hits material.Somebody like Noel Gallagher could do it,and has done (on occasions when Liam couldn't finish,or even,start,Oasis shows).I think Edge is a much greater musician and technician,but I just can't imagine him coming out to busk for an hour or so.Also,given the unexpected and anxious circumstances last night,I imagine he was concerned about his friend.

Interesting that an obnoxious radem is a fan of a band that consist of 4 terrible, evil bad men.

What does he say at the very end? Did he start counting for the next song?

It takes some time to organize these things. For instance to see if the show can be replaced at all, if not its full refunds for everyone regardless. I’m sure they want a complete statement with as many details as possible which management, authorities etc. need to look at.

Is the world that bad that trolls are even coming to fan sites? Seriously, moderators, can’t you do something about this?

You nailed it in your first sentence... it's not a U2 thing to do.

U2 is the sum of 4 parts. I could never have imagined they would have continued last night without Bono! I’ll never forget the look of fear/displeasure on Larry’s face at the Time Square show (with Chris and Bruce).
