Bono Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 4 minutes ago, The Holographic Universe said: Wow. I enjoy Red Flag Day and The Showman very much and The little Things is a classic U2 song for me. Aside from There is a Light which I think is great, Red Flag Day might be the best on the album but to me it's very b-side and as for The Little Things I felt live it is classic but it's absolutely neutered on the album. I actually really hate the drums on it and it loses all it's emotion and energy on the album. Same with the Blackout. It absolutely sucks on the album compared to that first semi live verison they released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my experience, all U2 albums since 2000 need to be experienced live for me to have a connection with the material. I hated ATYCLB and Atomic Bomb when I heard them and No Line, too. So for me, U2 is a live experience and often thier albums fall flat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are one of my favorites, but I almost never listen to entire albums (save for Achtung, Joshua, and SOI). I think they are amazing live, and have some of the best pop rock ever made, but for their releases since ATYCLB they've been more about hits and individual songs for me. Songs of Innocence is the only album I really listen to front to back since ATYCLB After a few weeks I can say this album is a total clunker for me. What a let down!

Gackt Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 (edited) Gonna revive this thread from the dead; the Experience + Innocence tour starts tonight, anyone going? It looks like they're bringing back the original I+E stage for it. Edited May 2, 2018 by Gackt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I'm going to at least two shows. Setlist from the opening night was great! Can't fucking wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Holographic Universe Posted May 16, 2018 Author Share Posted May 16, 2018 I was at opening night in Tulsa. The band didn’t play whereby the streets have no name, but the concert was amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They probably tired themselves of it after last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll probably shake up the setlist at some point during the tour, but it's pretty solid for the most part based on how long the band typically performs and including enough material for the current album promotion.

Estranged Reality Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 @Black Sabbath and I attended the Apollo Theater show this past Monday. I'm still recovering from it. It was epic! It also made me appreciate some of the new tracks even more hearing them live, although I'm still rather bummed they didn't play "The Blackout." Seemed like a perfect venue for it! Here's my recording of Every Breaking Wave: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
