Black Sabbath Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Even though the VIP package is good, I'd still rather go to more than one show if I can. If 'Meet & Greets' were included in the package, then it would be a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Sweet! I was waiting for you to comment on your show. It's a shame they didn't play more Achtung like Mysterious Ways or Until The End Of The World.Regardless, I'm glad you had a good time. Can't wait for my show in September.

Tater Totts Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 (edited) But BS they did play Mysterious Ways Everyone was just dancing to that like crazy but when they got the big disco ball out ontop of the Claw and the entire stadium was lit up by it was stunning.I have never been to/ seen a more visually stunning show. It maybe even tops Popmarts look.Loved the little Karaoke bit they had during Unknown Caller!And was great when Bono went to sing I Still Haven't Found and he didnt need to coz the crowd were doing it for him and we sang the first verse and chorus without him Edited August 14, 2009 by Tottenham Hotspur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 My bad.The reason I missed it was because when they played it at the other shows it was one of the first 6 songs or so. I just wasn't used to seeing at towards the end of the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tater Totts Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I think Unforgettable Fire was probably the best song.However during I'll Go Crazy the entire screen was down on the ground covering up where the drums and stuff were and while Larry was walking with his bonjos they turned the drums around so he was looking the other way.

Black Sabbath Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Was it the remix or album version? I'm assuming the remix since Larry had his bongo thing out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tater Totts Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Yeah was the remix and I thought it worked really well.Everyone was just dancing and singing along and having a great time just like with Mysterious Ways.As far as I can tell everyone in the seats were up danciing aswell.

Black Sabbath Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Yeah, I really like the remix version. I hope they keep Mysterious Ways in the set-list and they better play The Fly soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Eyes Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Like the setlist, missing a few favourites like Running To Stand Still (my personal favourite, see U2 live in Chicago), Until The End Of The World, Angel Of Harlem etc. but I'm happy with it.

Black Sabbath Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 If I'm not mistaken, they've been switching back and forth between Desire and Angel of Harlem with the MJ snippets being done at the end of one of those.. They played Until The End Of The World a few times so far, but they are taking a break from the Bullet The Blue Sky/Running To Stand Still combo.

Guest floyd the barber Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 My favorite song by U2 has to be the Unforgettable Fire. It is one of their more popular songs on the charts, but I wouldn't call it mainstream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tater Totts Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I tell you The Unforgettable Fire live on this tour is fucking spectacular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Eyes Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I tell you The Unforgettable Fire live on this tour is fucking spectacular Highlights for me were probably Streets, Breathe, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Stuck In A Moment and Crazy (people went fucking nuts).. best show I've ever seen, musically and visually. Got videos for Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of, Ultra Violet (Light My Way), Breathe and City Of Blinding Lights I'll stick up on youtube tommorow.

Tater Totts Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 U2 To Release Unheard Songs From The Unforgettable Fire Sessions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Awesome! I'll definitely be looking forward to it. U2 know how to put out a remaster, especially since they cost like $30! I'll end up buying it eventually, but I will be downloading first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tater Totts Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I'll get the Box Edition which if it is like Boy and October remasters will come with a Mug, Tshirt and the CD and a bonus cd.To be honest I am looking forward to the Achtung/ Zooropa/ Pop remasters alot aswel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I don't think I've seen the edition with the mug and shirt. At my local music store that I go to, they have the Boy and October (and I think War) releases that are about $30 or so, and they are remastered, come with a bigger booklet, and I think an extra CD. I'd like to get them eventually, despite the price.And as you said, I too am looking forward to those other remasters. It'll still be awhile until we get those if they are going by the 25 Year Anniversaries. Hopefully they'll find some other unreleased tracks for those and put them out as well.

Black Sabbath Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I'm going to be honest... I think The Unforgettable Fire is my least favorite U2 album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake Eyes Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 (edited) I'm going to be honest... I think The Unforgettable Fire is my least favorite U2 album. My least favourite has to be War. I just can't get into that album, especially New Years Day - I don't like that song and never have. No clue why.
