E&I tour hits Milan - All discussions

This is just another chapter in the narrative in my opinion. This is also why Bono tells such long stories before Zoo Station and Stay. They replaced the chapter of the story which tells about their younger years with the chapter that tells about a defining point in their career. They almost split up and yet they came back together again. This is what these Achtung Baby/Zooropa songs tell.

I even believe that it's part of the narrative that Bono goes alone to the screen during Zoo Station and at the intro of Stay, to show that he was indeed all alone. The band were miles apart. Then, Adam, Larry and Edge join one by one to illustrate them getting back together. The chapter ends with the four of them being as close as possible to each other performing at the top of their game, while the screen closes. A story with a good ending!

Thats a stretch! Yeah, I see it. Liked the other narrative better. Experience AND Innocence tour. Its still cool. My only complaint is that we probably wont get the DC Blu Ray that captures the first leg version of the tour. Now if they released both, fantastic! (But probably not happening).

Originally posted by deanallison:I think the current way of telling the story is much better. We didn’t have the experience songs on the I&E tour they had to use a combination of new and old to do that and they are doing the same now. (Yeah I know SOE wasn’t released at the time.) I think if we were to pair one of these recent shows with an Innocence show we have the u2 I&E/E&I story in full the attempt at combining the two in one show at the start of this tour did an ok job but it was missing something and now they’ve found it.

I still really hope as well that they release the US leg too.

Love Is All We Have Left opener. Way better & more agressive MacPhisto speeches, American Soul

I do agree it was missing something. A song or two correction. But this shake up changes it completely. I think you agree with me on SBS, the version did not work. Take that out and put in a different song somewhere else, probably Horses before or after UTEOTW and it would have been there completely to me.
